Cosmological perturbations generated quantum-mechanically (as a particular case, during inflation) possess statistical properties of squeezed quantum states. The power spectra of the perturbations are modulated and the angular distribution of the produced temperature fluctuations of the CMBR is quite specific. An exact formula is derived for the angular corr

We derive and evaluate expressions for the frictional Coulomb drag between disordered two-dimensional electron gas layers. Our derivation is based on the memory-function formalism and the expression for the drag reduces to previously known results in the ballistic limit. We find that Coulomb drag is appreciably enhanced by disorder at low temperatures when t

We propose a new method to describe the interacting bose gas at zero temperature. We use the decomposition of the logarithm of the wave function into the irreducible $n$-point functions. We argue that in the low density limit this expansion corresponds to the expansion of the ground-state energy in powers of the small parameter. For three-dimensional system

As long as there is no distance indicator to the sources of gamma-ray bursts all possible sources which are isotropically distributed should remain under consideration. This is why the Oort cloud of comets is kept on the list. We use the available data on the bursts' distribution of (the BATSE catalogue), and the Catalogue of Cometary Orbits by Marsden a
