Last year's research program dealt with a variety of topics including small-p/sub perpendicular/ hadronic phenomenology (dual topological unitarization, Pomeron-f identity hypothesis, t-channel approach to diffraction peak and hadron size, tunneling in Reggeon field theory); bound-state problems in quantum electrodynamics (positronium decay, hyperfine splitting of positronium and muonium); quantum field theory (graph counting, strong-coupling solutions for eikonal problems with SU(2) constraints, unitarity restriction and semi-classical solutions, quark confinement); unified gauge models of weak and electromagnetic interactions (Weinberg-Salam model, exclusion of effective V/sub e/V/sub N/ + A/sub e/A/sub N/ neutral-current interaction, Cabibbo angle and quark mass ratios); bound-state mean field theory (structural equivalence of two-dimensional four-fermion and Yukawa-like models, renormalization of four-dimensional four-fermion models, Fermi theory of weak interactions as a Yang-Mills theory); acoustic detection of cosmic neutrinos; topics in gravitation and cosmology; as well as other studies involving the interactions of elementary particles. A list of publications is included.
