  • Qaisar Shafi Studied for His B
    Qaisar Shafi received his BSc and his PhD in Theoretical Physics from Imperial College, London. England. His PhD advisor was the late Abdus Salam who received the Nobel Prize for Theoretical Physics in 1979. After completing his PhD, Professor Shafi held prestigious postdoctoral and research fellowships including an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship at the Universities of Munich and Aachen, Germany, and a senior fellowship at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. He also completed his Habilitation with venia legendi at the University of Freiburg, Germany. He joined the Bartol Research Institute at the University of Delaware in 1983. Throughout his career at the University of Delaware, Professor Shafi has maintained close ties to the ICTP (International Center for Theoretical Physics) in Trieste, Italy where he directed more than a dozen summer schools in High Energy Physics and Cosmology. He also (co-)directed a NATO school and several summer schools in High Energy Physics organized under BCSVPIN (an acronym denoting the countries Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Pakistan, and India), an international science network, founded in collaboration with Abdus Salam and Jogesh Pati, and continued by Professor Shafi. Qaisar Shafi is an internationally recognized expert in Elementary Particle (High Energy) Physics and Cosmology; his current research areas include Higgs boson, supersymmetry, new physics at the LHC, dark matter particle, inflationary cosmology and primordial gravity waves, origin of matter in the universe and nature of dark energy. Professor Shafi has supervised a large number of postdoctoral fellows and PhD students, and created a global network of collaborators. Many of his former students and postdocs have become highly respected scientists in their home countries.

  • Wrapping Interactions and the Genus Expansion of the 2-Point Function of Composite Operators
    Nuclear Physics B 723 (2005) 3–32 Wrapping interactions and the genus expansion of the 2-point function of composite operators Christoph Sieg a, Alessandro Torrielli b a Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, D-80805 München, Germany b Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institut für Physik, Newtonstraße 15, D-12489 Berlin, Germany Received 26 May 2005; accepted 7 June 2005 Available online 1 July 2005 Abstract We perform a systematic analysis of wrapping interactions for a general class of theories with color degrees of freedom, including N = 4 SYM. Wrapping interactions arise in the genus expansion of the 2-point function of composite operators as finite size effects that start to appear at a certain order in the coupling constant at which the range of the interaction is equal to the length of the operators. We analyze in detail the relevant genus expansions, and introduce a strategy to single out the wrapping contributions, based on adding spectator fields. We use a toy model to demonstrate our procedure, performing all computations explicitly. Although completely general, our treatment should be particularly useful for applications to the recent problem of wrapping contributions in some checks of the AdS/CFT correspondence. 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Introduction 5 The AdS/CFT correspondence [1] claims that type IIB string theory on an AdS5 ×S background with Ramond–Ramond (RR) flux is dual to N = 4 super-Yang–Mills (SYM) theory with gauge group SU(N) which is invariant under the superconformal symmetry 5 group SU(2, 2|4).

From the year 2007 we started our new project of “Yukawa International program of Quark-Hadron Sciences (YIPQS)” funded by Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In this project we select a few research topics each year for long- term workshops and invite leading experts from abroad to stimulate discussions and foster collaborations among workshop participants. In the year 2011 we held two long-term work- shops on ”Dynamics and correlations in exotic nuclei” and on ”Novel Quantum States in Condensed Matter: Correlation, Frustration and Topology”, and extensive discussions have been exchanged. Our report contains some of the results obtained during these workshops.
