Initiated by Gromov, the study of holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds has been a powerfull tool in symplectic topology, however the moduli space of holomorphic curves is often very difficult to find. A common technique is to study…

These lecture notes in the De Rham-Hodge theory are designed for a 1-semester undergraduate course (in mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry or biology). This landmark theory of the 20th Century mathematics gives a rigorous…

These notes are based on lectures at the PSSCMP/PiTP summer school that was held at Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study in July, 2015. They are devoted largely to topological phases of matter that can be understood in…

In late October 2004 I did a search on Hopf algebras in the database ZMATH to find out where they occur and what use is made of them (I.e. what applications there are). The result is a little astonishing, as can be seen from what follows.

The goal of this dissertation is to present results from synthetic homotopy theory based on homotopy type theory (HoTT). After an introduction to Martin-L\"of's dependent type theory and homotopy type theory, key results include a synthetic…

These are the lecture notes for a short course on geometric quantization given by the author at the XVIII Modave Summer School on Mathematical Physics, Sep 5 - Sep 9.

These notes contain everything necessary to run a flipped course on "The Atmosphere" at an introductory undergraduate level. There are notes for the students to read before each course meeting and problems for them to work on in small…

The theme of this article is the algebraic combinatorics of leaf-labeled rooted binary trees and forests of such trees. The structure of a Hopf operad is defined on the vector spaces spanned by forests of leaf-labeled, rooted, binary trees.…

Using elementary methods of algebraic geometry, we present constructions of hyperelliptically fibred surfaces containing nodal fibres.

While the problem of computing the genus of a knot is now fairly well understood, no algorithm is known for its four-dimensional variants, both in the smooth and in the topological locally flat category. In this article, we investigate a…

We prove that if $X$ and $S$ are smooth varieties and $f\colon X\to S$ is an elliptic fibration with singular fibers curves of types I$_N$ with $N\geq 1$, II, III and IV, then the relative Jacobian $\hat{f}\colon \bar{M}_{X/S}\to S$ of $f$,…

We survey some aspects of the theory of Hopf-Galois objects that may studied advantageously by using the language of cogroupoids. These are the notes for a series of lectures given at Cordoba University, may 2010. The lectures are part of…

We consider log deformations of affine surfaces with fibrations by the affine lines. Such a fibration is of affine type (resp. of complete type) if the base curve of the fibration is an affine curve (resp. a complete curve). The case of…

We introduce the notion of an enriched fibration, i.e. a fibration whose total category and base category are enriched in those of a monoidal fibration in an appropriate way. Furthermore, we provide a way to obtain such a structure,…

We investigate slice-quaternionic Hopf surfaces. In particular, we construct new structures of slice-quaternionic manifold on $\mathbb{S}^1\times\mathbb{S}^7$, we study their group of automorphisms and their deformations.

Guided wave propagation through a left-handed medium has been studied, and new physics discovered. The results are based upon ab initio Green's function calculations. Numerically generated dispersion diagrams and field distribution plots…

For every fibration $f : X \to B$ with $X$ a compact K\"ahler manifold, $B$ a smooth projective curve, and a general fiber of $f$ an abelian variety, we prove that $f$ has an algebraic approximation.

The purpose of this paper is to give some solutions for the classification problem in fibration theory by using the homotopy sequences of fibrations (sequences of $n$-th homotopy groups $ \pi_{n}(S,s_{o}) $ of total spaces of fibrations).…

The notion of generalized Seifert fibration is introduced, it is shown that the projections of certain Eschenburg $7$-manifolds onto ${\mathbb C} P^2$ define such fibrations, and for them the characteristic classes corresponding to the…

We describe in detail an advanced project devised for outstanding High School (or undergraduate) students with appropriate abilities in physical reasoning (rather than with a good standard preparation), centered around the well-known…
