Introductory lectures notes on cosmology, aimed at master students in physics and based on a course held at Milano University (in Italian).
These are lecture notes (by the first author) from a course (by the second author) given over two extended semesters at the University of Sydney. The first part provides an introduction to the Langlands correspondence from an arithmetical…
These notes grew out of two lectures I have given on CAT(0) cube complexes. I've tried to keep the material elementary and self-contained in order to keep the material easily accessible and to provide an elementary introduction on the topic…
This text is related to the tutorials I gave at the Banff International Research Station and within a "Doc-course" at Charles University Prague in the fall of 2014. It describes my current research and some of the most important open…
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 notes contain a survey of some aspects of the theory of graded differential algebras and of noncommutative differential calculi as well as of some applications connected with physics. They also give a description of several new…
These are the lecture notes of a course given by the first author on December 27, 2012 - January 4, 2013, held at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
These are short notes of three introductory lectures on recently proposed matrix models of Superstrings and M theory given at 5th Nordic Meeting on Supersymmetric Field and String Theories in Helsinki (March 10-12, 1997). Contents: M(atrix)…
These notes give an introduction to the Gabriel-Roiter measure of a finite dimensional algebra. They are based on a series of four lectures at the "Advanced School and Conference on Representation Theory and Related Topics" in Trieste…
This text grew up from the notes of a graduate course I gave at the University of Roma ``Tor Vergata'' in the academic year 2018--19. The subject is the classification of complex algebraic surfaces following Mori's theory. It includes the…
This paper is based on a course given by the author at the University of Rome ``La Sapienza'' in the Academic year 2000/2001. The intended aim of the course was to rapidly introduce, although not in an exhaustive way, the non-expert PhD…
I have merged the lecture notes (in french) of two 24 hour courses I taught at the university Pierre-et-Marie Curie (Paris 6) during the first semester of the academic year 2013-2014. The first one was devoted to the general material that…
An outline is sketched, of applications of the ideas and the mathematical methods presented at the 19th symposium of the Hellenic Nuclear Physics Society (HNPS) in Thessaloniki, May 2010
These notes basically contain a material of two mini--courses which were read in G\"{o}teborg in April 2015 during the author visit of Chalmers & G\"{o}teborg universities and in Beijing in November 2015 during "Chinese--Russian Workshop on…
The theme of this book chapter is to discuss algorithms for identifying and reconstructing groups and clusters of galaxies out of the general galaxy distribution. I review the progress of detection techniques through time, from the very…
