This paper is based on the author's talk at the Grothendieck conference at Chapman university on 26-05-2022. It is not a survey of anabelian geometry but rather exposes some of the personal views and experiences of the author with the…
This is an essay to accompany the author's lecture at the introductory workshop on `Nonabelian fundamental groups in arithmetic geometry' at the Newton Institute, Cambridge in July, 2009.
We introduce the category of structures and interpretations which allows us to discuss some issues of Grothendieck's anabelian geometry in model-theory terms. Our main result is a formulation in terms of pure stability theory of a problem…
Lecture notes at a conference on Arithmetic Geometry, Goettingen, July/August 2006: Density of ordinary Hecke orbits and a conjecture by Grothendieck on deformations of p-divisible groups.
We discuss the towers of finite \'etale covers which were essentially introduced by A.Tamagawa. The statement about correspondence between sections and cofinal towers is a folklore but perhaps not in a very explicit form. The last section…
This is an extension and background to a talk I gave on 9 October 2013 to the Brown Graduate Student Seminar, called `A friendly intro to sieves with a look towards recent progress on the twin primes conjecture.' During the talk, I mention…
Lecture notes on selected topics in the theory of gravitation.
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…
These are (not updated) notes from the lectures I gave at the NATO ASI ``Symmetric Functions 2001'' at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge (June 25 -- July 6, 2001). Their goal is an informal introduction to asymptotic combinatorics…
In this short note, we will give the key point of the section conjecture of Grothendieck, that is reformulated by monodromy actions. Here, we will also give the result of the section conjecture for algebraic schemes over a number field.
This note gives an informal overview of the proof in our paper "Borel Conjecture and Dual Borel Conjecture", see arXiv:1105.0823.
Preliminary version No.~2 of the lecture notes for the talk ``Quantum theory of gravitational collapse'' given at the 271. WE-Heraeus-Seminar ``Aspects of Quantum Gravity'' at Bad Honnef, 25 February--1 March 2002
These lecture notes are based on a set of six lectures that I gave in Edinburgh in 2008/2009 and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and conjectures and I hope they may…
These are introductory lecture notes on Mather's theory for Tonelli Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. They are based on a series of lectures given by the author at Universit\`a degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II" (April 2009), at…
Grothendieck gave two forms of his "main conjecture of anabelian geometry", i.e. the section conjecture and the hom conjecture. He stated that these two forms are equivalent and that if they hold for hyperbolic curves then they hold for…
This is a written version of the invited lecture at the 9th European Congress of Mathematics in July 2024 in Sevilla. We review certain new symmetries of Grothendieck rings that have emerged in representation theory.
This is the text of a series of five lectures given by the author at the "Second Annual Spring Institute on Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras" held at Vanderbilt University in May 2004. It is meant as an overview of recent…
This paper is an attempt to survey the current state of our knowledge on the Caccetta-Haggkvist conjecture and related questions. In January 2006 there was a workshop hosted by the American Institute of Mathematics in Palo Alto, on the…
These are the expanded and detailed notes of the lectures given by the authors during the school and workshop entitled "Liaison and Related Topics," held at the Politecnico di Torino during the period October 1-5, 2001. In these notes we…
