The Languages of Physics—A Themed Issue in Honor of Professor Richard Kerner on the Occasion of His 80th Birthday

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to Professor Richard Kerner on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Professor Kerner has made numerous important contributions in the fields of gravitation, cosmology, field theory, solid-state physics, and also in noncommutative geometry and quantum theory. He has also inspired a large number of junior researchers, many of whom now pursue a successful academic career. Over the decades, he has motivated and established many fruitful collaborations. He is the author of over 200 scientific publications, including several books on physics. His latest book, published in 2021, can be read here: Our Celestial Clockwork.

The Special Issue aims to present original papers or comprehensive reviews related to cosmology, gravitation and quantum field theory. We hope that this Special Issue will inspire scholars, especially junior researchers, to continue the advancement of physics.

Prof. Dr. Giuseppe Dito
Prof. Dr. Júlio César Fabris
