hadronic mathematics, mechanics and chemistry - Institute for Basic ...

iiiThis volume is dedicated to the memory ofProfessor Jaak Lôhmusof the Estonia Academy of Sciences, Tartu, one of the greatest experts innonassociative algebras of the 20-th century, for nominating the author amongthe most illustrious applied mathematicians of all times, the only Italian nameappearing in the list, for his paternity on the initiation in 1967 of research onthe most general possible algebras as defined in mathematics, the Lie-admissiblealgebras, that are at the foundation of the covering hadronic mechanics. Thenomination was done in 1990 during communist times without any advancecontact with or knowledge by the author, although, after the collapse of thecommunist era, the author was one of the firsts to visit Tartu with his wife Carlato express his appreciation, following a rather memorable trip by train fromMoscow and return, while the former USSR was in disarray. The nomination ishere reported also to honor the memory of the American mathematician A. A.Albert who conceived the Lie-admissible algebras in 1947, although withoutdetailed study. It is regrettable that, following Prof. Lôhmus death in 2006, theEstonia Academy of Sciences has been under criticisms by organized interestsopposing the research reported in these volumes for evident personal gains.
