This all-sky image shows the spatial distribution over the whole sky of the galactic haze at 30 and 44 GHz, extracted from the Planck observations. In addition to this component, other foreground components such as charged particles accelerated radially, known as synchrotron radiation, thermal dust, spinning dust, and extragalactic point sources contribute to the total emission detected by Planck at these frequencies. ...

... It satisfies the set of WDVV (associativity) equations in canonical variables. The geometric/integrable content of corrections in 1/N is an important, still unresolved, problem. The only way to construct systematically these corrections is to solve the set of loop equations. We find the subleading correction (the torus approximation) and discuss its possible singularities of the answer in the set of new parameters S_i. ...

... In electron-positron colliders, effect of the lattice modification by opposing bunch focusing on the equilibrium radiation emittance is important at high values of the space charge parameter, so one should correctly evaluate this dynamic radiation emittance of the weak beam, which may differ a lot from the nominal emittance, already in the linear beam-beam force model. ... The linearized beam-beam force is equivalent to focusing insertion in linear lattice of the collider. ...
