This article highlights historical achievements in the partition theory of countable homogeneous relational structures, and presents recent work, current trends, and open problems. Exciting recent developments include new methods involving…
We review some essential aspects of classically integrable systems. The detailed outline of the lectures consists of: 1. Introduction and motivation, with historical remarks; 2. Liouville theorem and action-angle variables, with examples…
We close a gap appearing at the same time in the author's thesis "Iterated rings of bounded elements and generalizations of Schm\"udgen's theorem" [1] and in the author's article "Iterated rings of bounded elements and generalizations of…
This is a review of results obtained by the author concerning the relation between conformally invariant random loops and conformal field theory. This review also attempts to provide a physical context in which to interpret these results by…
These are notes from a three-lecture mini-course on free probability given at MSRI in the Fall of 2010 and repeated a year later at Harvard. The lectures were aimed at mathematicians and mathematical physicists working in combinatorics,…
This is a survey of the diversity of problems in additive number theory. Equity requires the consideration of less currently popular problems, and suggests their inclusion in the additive canon. Of particular interest are problems about the…
We present a list of problems in arithmetic topology posed at the June 2019 PIMS/NSF workshop on "Arithmetic Topology". Three problem sessions were hosted during the workshop in which participants proposed open questions to the audience and…
The formulation of integrable models with open boundary conditions and the functional relations of fused transfer matrices are discussed. It is shown that finite-size corrections to the transfer matrices and unitarity relations of free…
Random matrices have their roots in multivariate analysis in statistics, and since Wigner's pioneering work in 1955, they have been a very important tool in mathematical physics. In functional analysis, random matrices and random structures…
We define recurrence matrices and study a few properties (links with automatic sequences, branch groups etc.) of them.
This is a review (including some background material) of the author's work and related activity on certain exactly solvable statistical models in two dimensions, including the six-vertex model, loop models and lozenge tilings. Applications…
Piecewise affine maps (PAMs) are frequently used as a reference model to show the openness of the reachability questions in other systems. The reachability problem for one-dimentional PAM is still open even if we define it with only two…
Many fundamental questions in theoretical computer science are naturally expressed as special cases of the following problem: Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, let $V$ be a $G$-module, and let $v,w$ be elements of $V$. Determine if $w$…
This is an expanded version of the lecture notes for a minicourse that I gave at a summer school called "Advanced Course on Geometry and Dynamics of Integrable Systems" at CRM Barcelona, 9--14/September/2013. In this text we study the…
The present work provides an original framework for random matrix analysis based on revisiting the concentration of measure theory from a probabilistic point of view. By providing various notions of vector concentration ($q$-exponential,…
The theory of Lie systems has recently been applied to Quantum Mechanics and additionally some integrability conditions for Lie systems of differential equations have also recently been analysed from a geometric perspective. In this paper…
Matrix concentration inequalities and their recently discovered sharp counterparts provide powerful tools to bound the spectrum of random matrices whose entries are linear functions of independent random variables. However, in many…
We present five open problems in quantum gravity which one might reasonably hope to solve in the next decade. Hints appearing in the literature are summarized for each one.
The article contains a few questions and speculations related to the moduli spaces of curves, K3 surfaces, maps, and sheaves presented in the problem session of the AGNES conference in Amherst (April 2010).
Complexity is an interdisciplinary concept which, first of all, addresses the question of how order emerges out of randomness. For many reasons matrices provide a very practical and powerful tool in approaching and quantifying the related…
