... Place : Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Conference Hall . Name : Sergey Chervon . ... Title : Cosmological Models of Global Universe Evolution and Cosmological Perturbations . Abstract : Cosmological models, based on the self-interacting scalar field theory or on the theory of the chiral nonlinear sigma model, presented as the models which can describe the global evolution, extending from an inflationary stage to the present time epoch, of the Universe. ...

In this talk we will present a series of results and open problems emerging from the study of infinite global fields. We will give a survey of the asymptotic properties of the Brauer-Siegel and Euler-Kronecker invariants in the classical situation of number fields and function fields as well as in certain higher dimensional cases. ...

Guest Editorial , July 2006 . Past ? Present ? Future . ... SETI, the quest for reasonable signals from Space, is aimed at the Past. ... From here on Earth, we can say with good reason that conducting both searches (SETI) and transmission (METI) of reasonable signals, we appear poised just halfway between the Past and the Future: namely, in the Present! ... This editorial was submitted in response to Their Past, Our Future , by SETI League executive director emeritus H. Paul Shuch. ...

The night after the John Glenn program, I pitched the terraforming idea to my students. I asked them if they'd like to terraform Mars as a big class project; I wanted to throw the idea to them and see how they would react. Already I had a vision of splitting the class into several groups and having each group take charge of a portion of the project. ... Following my initial idea on how to conduct the project, I split the class into six groups, each student choosing his or her group. ...
