We study the model theoretic strength of various lattices that occur naturally in topology, like closed (semi-linear or semi-algebraic or convex) sets. The method is based on weak monadic second order logic and sharpens previous results by…

These are expanded lecture notes for the summer school on Berkovich spaces that took place at the Institut de Math\'ematiques de Jussieu, Paris in 2010. They serve to illustrate some techniques and results from the dynamics on…

This is an expository introduction to tropical algebraic geometry based on my lectures at the Workshop on Tropical Geometry and Integrable Systems in Glasgow, July 4-8, 2011, and at the ELGA 2011 school on Algebraic Geometry and…

Curved spaces play a fundamental role in many areas of modern physics, from cosmological length scales to subatomic structures related to quantum information and quantum gravity. In tabletop experiments, negatively curved spaces can be…

Lecture notes from the mini-course "Topics in Lorentz Geometry" taught at the University of S\~{a}o Paulo, in March/2019. The text has three parts: (i) an overall view of linear algebra in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n_\nu$, with…

This is a series of three lectures I gave at the Korea Institute of Advanced Study in June 2019 at a workshop about "Algebraic and Symplectic Aspects of Degenerations of Complex Surfaces". I focus on the symplectic aspects, in particular on…

This is a survey lecture note on the applications of Langlands functoriality which were obtained recently by some people at the Langalnds school. This lecture was delivered at the Department of Mathematics, Kyoto University, Japan on June…

We present mathematical details of several cosmological models, whereby the topological and the geometrical background will be emphasized.

These notes combine material from short lecture courses given in Paris, France, in July 2001 and in Srni, the Czech Republic, in January 2003. They discuss groups of symplectomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds (M,\om) from various…

This text is the write-up of a series of lectures on the asymptotic mixed Hodge theory of isolated hypersurface singularities, held at the Third Latin American school on Algebraic Geometry and its applications (ELGA 3) in Guanajuato,…

This is a slightly edited version of the transparencies for a seminar at UCL, May 7, 2003. It is intended to give a quick view of background, ideas, and some calculations, in the applicatioon of some non commutative methods to algebraic…

This survey article describes the algorithmic approaches successfully used over the time to construct hyperbolic structures on 3-dimensional topological "objects" of various types, and to classify several classes of such objects using such…

We show how quantum many-body systems on hyperbolic lattices with nearest-neighbor hopping and local interactions can be mapped onto quantum field theories in continuous negatively curved space. The underlying lattices have recently been…

These pages serve two purposes. First, they are notes to accompany the talk "Hyperbolic and projective geometry in constraint programming for CAD" by Walter Whiteley at the "Janos Bolyai Conference on Hyperbolic Geometry", 8--12 July 2002,…

In this paper we discuss about properties of lattices and its application in theoretical and algorithmic number theory. This result of Minkowski regarding the lattices initiated the subject of Geometry of Numbers, which uses geometry to…

This thesis investigates cusp cross-sections of arithmetic real, complex, and quaternionic hyperbolic $n$--orbifolds. We give a smooth classification of these submanifolds and analyze their induced geometry. One of the primary tools is a…

This set of lecture notes constitutes the free textbook project I initiated towards the end of Summer 2015, while preparing for the Fall 2015 Analytical Methods in Physics course I taught to upper level undergraduates at the University of…

The aim of this note is to present a construction of symplectic structures on orientable globally hyperbolic 4-dimensional lorentzian manifolds. Said structures are defined on the manifold itself, not on its cotangent bundle. It also…

These are notes to accompany four lectures that I gave at the School on Additive Combinatorics, held in Montreal, Quebec between March 30th and April 5th 2006. My aim is to introduce ``quadratic fourier analysis'' in so far as we understand…
