The plenary presentations of the conference are summarised, highlighting some aspects that were of particular interest and attempting to link a few of the topics covered. Particular emphasis is placed on the problem of deep-inelastic…
These notes were written following lectures I had the pleasure of giving on this subject at Keio University, during November and December 2004. The first part is about new applications of Jordan algebras to the geometry of Hermitian…
ECM survey article discussing the structure of subsets of Abelian groups which behave `a bit like' cosets (of subgroups).
This paper concerns the study of some special ordered structures in turbulent flows. In particular, a systematic and relevant methodology is proposed to construct non trivial and non radial rotating vortices with non necessarily uniform…
This paper is the textual material accompanying the 2017 Bernhard Haurwitz Memorial Lecture, delivered by the author on 28 June 2017, at a joint session of the American Meteorological Society's 21st Conference on Atmospheric and Oceanic…
Notes of five lectures given at the 2003 European School of High-Energy Physics, Tsakhkadzor, Armenia, September 2003
These notes were intended as support material for a minicourse on Anosov flows in the conference "Symplectic geometry and Anosov flows'' which took place in Heidelberg in July 2024 organized by Peter Albers, Jonathan Bowden and Agust\'in…
We discuss the generalization of Abelian Chern-Simons theories when $\theta $-angles and magnetic monopoles are included. We map sectors of two dimensional Conformal Field Theories into these three dimensional theories.
Vortices the $SO(2)$ gauged planar Skyrme model, with a) only Maxwell, b) only Chern-Simons, and c) both Maxwell and Chern-Simons dynamics are studied systematically. In cases a) and b), where both models feature a single parameter…
The implementation of modular invariance on the torus as a phase space at the quantum level is discussed in a group-theoretical framework. Unlike the classical case, at the quantum level some restrictions on the parameters of the theory…
This is the published (Crelles Journal 467 (1995), 187--197) version of an e-print entitled "ON SUBVARIETIES OF ABELIAN VARIETIES".
Interactions between non-BPS non-Abelian vortices are studied in non-Abelian U(1) x SU(N) extensions of the Abelian-Higgs model in four dimensions. The distinctive feature of a non-Abelian vortex is the presence of an internal CP^{N-1}…
By performing the canonical quantization of the Abelian Chern-Simons model on the light-front (as suggested by Dirac), we clarify some controversies appearing in recent papers that discuss the relation between the existence of excitations…
This article is the expanded version of a talk given at the conference: Algebraic geometry in East Asia 2008, Seoul. In this notes, I intend to give a brief survey of results on the behavior of semi-stable bundles under the Frobenius…
These are yet another lecture notes on Seiberg-Witten invariants, where no claim of originality is made, they contain a discussion of some related results from the recent literature.
We construct parity and time reversal invariant Maxwell-Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to fermions with adding the parity partner to the matter and the gauge fields, which can give nontopological vortex solutions depending on the sign of…
The order-disorder duality structure is exploited in order to obtain a quantum description of anyons and vortices in: a) the Maxwell theory; b) the Abelian Higgs Model; c) the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory; d) the Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs…
Dualities provide deep insight into physics by relating two seemingly distinct theories. Here we consider a duality between lattice fermions and bosons in (2+1) spacetime dimensions, relating free massive Dirac fermions to Abelian…
We compare the vortex-like solutions of two different theories in (2+1) dimensions. In the first a nonrelativistic field self-interacts through a Chern-Simons gauge connection. It is $P$ and $T$ violating. The second is the standard Maxwell…
These lecture notes are meant to provide a pedagogical introduction, and present the latest theoretical and experimental developments on the physics of vortices in type II superconductors.
