Description: This volume contains lectures presented at the first Nishinomiya-Yukawa Memorial Symposium on "Recent Topics in Theoretical Physics". They give high-level introductory overviews of several specialized topics ranging from particle physics to condensed matter physics that have undergone major development in the last few years and are written by authors who have made substantial contributions to the fields. The topics chosen are: superstrings, lattice gauge theory, the very early universe, gravitational collapse, problems concerning solar neutrinos, the quark cluster picture of nuclei, the quantum Hall effect, Fermi surface effects, spin glasses, and the statistical physics of pattern formation.
