PETER SURANYI 87TH BIRTHDAY FESTSCHRIFT

This is a Festschrift compiled in honor of Professor Peter Suranyi, Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati. In a long career spanning almost 60 years, Professor Suranyi has made valuable contributions in many areas of theoretical physics, especially in the fields of strong interaction physics, quantum field theory, particle physics, statistical mechanics, lattice field theory, condensed matter physics, and particle cosmology. His important contributions range from analysis of Regge poles in quantum field theory, work on Reggeon field theory, developing improved perturbation theory methods and numerical simulation techniques, analyzing rigidity percolation and molecular clustering in network glasses, to his recent work on Bose condensate dark matter. This volume is our way of paying tribute to his scientific achievements, mentoring prowess, and his rigorous outlook on theoretical physics.
