These are lecture notes for a mini-course given at the St. Petersburg School in Probability and Statistical Physics in June 2012. Topics include integrable models of random growth, determinantal point processes, Schur processes and Markov…
We occasionally include projects in our learner-centered introductory astronomy college course to enable non-science major students explore some astronomical concepts in more detail than otherwise. Such projects also highlight ongoing or…
In this survey, we address mixing from the point of view of partial differential equations, motivated by applications that arise in fluid dynamics. We give an account of optimal mixing, loss of regularity for transport equations, enhanced…
These notes are based on a series of six lectures, given during my stay at the CRC 701 in June/July 2008. The lecture series intended to give a survey of some of the results for the almost Mathieu operator that have been obtained since the…
These notes are based on the ten lectures that the author held in September of 2013 at the University of Seville. The purpose of the course was to introduce basic concepts about the Ahlfors-Beurling operator and explain a few of the recent…
This short note provides an overview of some theorems and conjectures obtained by the author and his collaborators. It is an extended abstract for the Oberwolfach workshop "New Trends in Teichm\"uller Theory and Mapping Class Groups", 2…
These are lecture notes for lectures at the Park City Math Institute, summer 2007. We cover aspects of the dimer model on planar, periodic bipartite graphs, including local statistics, limit shapes and fluctuations.
This set of lecture notes is an expanded version of a mini-course the author gave in March of 2025 for the program ``Representation Theory \& Noncommutative Geometry" at the Institut Henri Poincar\'e, Paris. The goal is to provide a survey…
This text is the extended version of a talk given at 6th Meeting of Integrable Systems and Quantum Filed Theory at Peyresq hold from June 10 2006 to June 17, 2006 at Peyresq, France. The goal of this lecture is to give a brief introduction…
These are the lecture notes from a course given in July 2005 at the summer school in Les Houches. We describe some recent results concerning two-dimensional conformally invariant systems. In particular, we discuss conformally invariant…
These lecture notes are an expanded write-up of my short lecture series "Noncommutative Resolutions" given to the MSRI Graduate Student Workshop "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" during June 2012. The notes include five chapters, an…
These notes are a written version of lectures given in the 2024 Les Houches Summer School on {\it Large deviations and applications}. They are are based on a series of works published over the last 25 years on steady properties of…
We give an introduction to the structure theory of extended affine Lie algebras, which provide a common framework for finite-dimensional semisimple, affine and toroidal Lie algebras. The notes are based on a lecture series given during the…
Many problems in machine learning involve calculating correspondences between sets of objects, such as point clouds or images. Discrete optimal transport provides a natural and successful approach to such tasks whenever the two sets of…
A finite element based computational scheme is developed and employed to assess a duality based variational approach to the solution of the linear heat and transport PDE in one space dimension and time, and the nonlinear system of ODEs of…
Here we provide a complete English translation of Walter Gr\"obli's 1877 Ph.D. Thesis, together with some notes on the process. The work considers the dynamics of point vortices in a two-dimensional inviscid incompressible fluid and derives…
We study the multiphasic formulation of the incompressible Euler equation introduced by Brenier: infinitely many phases evolve according to the compressible Euler equation and are coupled through a global in-compressibility constraint. We…
We describe a method to construct smooth and compactly supported solutions of 3D incompressible Euler equations and related models. The method is based on localizable Grad-Shafranov equations and is inspired by the recent result \cite{gav}.

This paper is devoted to variational problems on the set of probability measures which involve optimal transport between unequal dimensional spaces. In particular, we study the minimization of a functional consisting of the sum of a term…
