RUDN astrophysicists prepare the second volume of the special issue 'The Future of Mathematical Cosmology' in the Proceedings of the British Academy of Sciences
The first volume of this special issue was published in March 2022. The second was published online more recently in July. Professor Kotsakis and Professor Efremov wrote the preface to both volumes of the special issue and also published in it the seminal review article "100 years of mathematical cosmology: Models, theories and problems, Parts A, B" in two parts ("100 years of mathematical cosmology: Models, theories and problems, Parts A, B").
At their invitation, leading international experts in theoretical physics and cosmology have contributed to the special issue by publishing 20 outstanding scientific articles in the journal on the structure and evolution of the universe.
The authors of the second edition include well-known physicists and mathematicians:
- Robert Robert Brandberger (Switzerland-Canada; McGill University, Montreal)
- Maurizio Gasperini (Italy, National Institute of Nuclear Physics, Bari)
- Joat Sola Peracaula (Spain, University of Barcelona)
Abstract for the second volume of the special issue "The Future of Mathematical Cosmology":
What are the main achievements in theoretical cosmology over the last 100 years? What is its current state and prospects? What do we know about the Big Bang, dark energy, the future of the universe, the shape of space-time, the multiverse, and the quantum nature of space?
Mathematical cosmology was born in 1917, when Albert Einstein showed us how to construct entire universes according to the laws of physics. Since then, it has developed into a fascinating field, providing explanations for new data and observations. This theme issue is the first devoted exclusively to the complex nature of the universe and provides a clear blueprint for future developments in this fundamental area of modern science.
A printed version of the second volume of the special issue "The future of mathematical cosmology" will be published on 22 August. Information is available from the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, https://royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rsta/2022/380/223.
For reference
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society is the oldest scientific journal in the world. It has been published continuously for over 350 years, since 1665. The great physicists and mathematicians Newton, Boyle, Huygens, and Leibniz published in it. It is only possible to publish an article in this journal by invitation from the British Academy of Sciences. The journal is in the A series, quartile Q1.
In October, Anna Kurbatova, Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Environmental Safety and Product Quality Management, held a master class at Rotary International. A report in English on the impact of the waste management industry on climate and human health aroused interest among members of the club and its guests.
More than 1,000 students and young scientists from 50 countries became participants in the conference "For the sustainable development of civilization: cooperation, science, education, technology." They discussed improving the quality of human life in terms of the economic, socio-political and environmental sectors and key approaches to minimizing the negative impact on the environment. Five days of productive sessions are over - we tell you what we managed to learn about.
October 4-7, 2022 RUDN University held The Second RUDN University Space Week, dedicated to the World Space Week. The theme of this year’s World Space Week is “Space and sustainability”. More than 330 people from 48 countries from Australia to Canada, and from Ecuador to Japan, took part in the event.
