What is a symplectic manifold, really?

Japanese version

I have translated "What is a symplectic manifold, really?" into Japanese and posted on my BLOG. Because the article on ja.wiki about "Symplectic Manifold" is just only the mathematical definition and no its histories, no its future and no motives of researches. Such fact happens in Japan. Perhaps it is a wrong Japanese culture.

The cradle of arthmetic topology

Japanese version

Recently, on B. Mazur's home page, an article tilted "Remarks on the Alexander Polynomial" he presents that Alexander polynomials (modules) directly are related to Iwasawa theory, and that the origin of this idea comes from D. Mumford's idea. I was impressed by the paper is the introduction of Dr. Lieven "cradle of arithmetic topology."

On Higgs field from the mathematical point of view

Japanese version

Higgs field is also important in Mathematics. Essays have been published in the Notices of the AMS Sep 2007. In Physics the Higgs field is a scalar field, while in mathematics 1-form. It appears in the application to number theory.

Reflection on arithmetic physics

Japanese version I Japanese version II Japanese version III

I translate into Japanese the main part of the essay "Reflection on arithmetic physics" in 1989 of Professor Manin. Posted on the blog in three divided doses. Unfortunately, the electronic media does not exist, can not be posted a link and cannot link to it.

The original document: Yu. I. Manin, "Reflections on Arithmetical Physics," in Conformal Invariance and String theory (Academic, Boston 1989), pp.293-303; Selected papers of Yu. I. Manin (World Sci, Singapore, 1996), pp. 518-528

Today is the day of discovery of the Higgs. What comes next?

Japanese version
Today, 4 Jul. 2012,is the day of discovery of the Higgs particle. And I post the related BLOG, which does not contain the official sites.
