Research this past year was carried out in the fields of cosmic strings and galaxy formation, inflationary models of the universe, topological defects and phase transitions, group contractions and chiral fermions, low-frequency approximations in (QCD), loop bremsstrahlung of e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} and {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} pairs in heavy-ion collisions, approximations to solutions of non-linear differential equations, the use of continued functions'' as solution to vortex problems, string theory and large-N matrix models, topological expansions in QCD, one-dimensional string theory and its infrared divergences, strings in less than one-dimension, hadron-hadron interactions and the possible existence of the odderon, electroweak interactions and possible new physics in the TeV range, axions, quark flavor mixings and neutrino oscillations, large-N matrix models and their relation to string theories and two-dimensional quantized gravity, and the statistical mechanics of strings at high temperatures.
