Combinatorics and physics Combinatorics and physics Combinatorial physics or physical combinatorics is the area of interaction between physics and combinatorics. "Combinatorial Physics is an emerging area which unites combinatorial and discrete mathematical techniques applied to theoretical physics, especially Quantum Theory.". "Physical combinatorics might be defined naively as combinatorics guided by ideas or insights from physics". Combinatorics has always played an important role in quantum field theory and statistical physics. However, combinatorial physics only emerged as a specific field after a seminal work by Alain Connes and Dirk Kreimer, showing that the renormalization of Feynman diagrams can be described by a Hopf algebra.

Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute (Russian: "Краткие сообщения по физике", "Kratkue Soobsheniya po fisike") is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of physics. The journal was established in 1970, and is published by the Lebedev Physical Institute (in Russian) a monthly basis. Springer publishes an English translation of the journal. It is edited by Oleg N. Krokhin. The online version is available since 2007. The "Bulletin" covers research results from Prokhorov General Physics Institute and the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences in addition to those of the Lebedev Physical Institute.
