This text is aimed at undergraduates, or anyone else who enjoys thinking about shapes and numbers. The goal is to encourage the student to think deeply about seemingly simple things. The main objects of study are lines, squares, and the…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to emphasise that the class of Lie algebras with chain lattices of ideals are elementary blocks in the embedding or decomposition of Lie algebras with finite lattice of ideals. Secondly, to…
These are lecture notes that are based on the lectures from a class I taught on the topic of Randomized Linear Algebra (RLA) at UC Berkeley during the Fall 2013 semester.
Lecture notes. Introduction to the cohomology of algebras, Lie algebras, Lie bialgebras and quantum groups. Contains a new derivation of the classification of classical r-matrices in terms of deformation cohomology, and a calculation of the…
Poisson brackets provide the mathematical structure required to identify the reversible contribution to dynamic phenomena in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. This mathematical structure is deeply linked to Lie groups and their Lie algebras.…
These notes introduce some of the basic mathematical and physical tools neccessary for theoretical investigations into the thermodynamics properties of light in cavities. The notes were created while preparing for a project in this area…
These are the notes for an undergraduate course at the University of Edinburgh, 2021-2023. Assuming basic knowledge of ring theory, group theory and linear algebra, the notes lay out the theory of field extensions and their Galois groups,…
These Course Notes provide an introduction to mathematical proofs for undergraduate students transitioning from computational calculus to abstract mathematics. Topics include propositional logic, proof techniques, mathematical induction,…
Weil prolongations of a Lie group are naturally Lie groups. It is not known in the theory of infinite-dimensional Lie groups how to construct a Lie group with a given Lie algebra as its Lie algebra or whether there exists such a Lie group…

The study of the relation between Lie algebras and groups, and especially the derivation of new algebras from them, is a problem of great interest in mathematics and physics, because finding a new Lie group from an already known one also…
The aim of this short lecture series is to expose the students to the beautiful theory of lattices by, on one hand, demonstrating various basic ideas that appear in this theory and, on the other hand, formulating some of the celebrated…
We develop a graphical notation to introduce classical Lie algebras. Although this paper deals with well-known results, our pictorial point of view is slightly different to the traditional one. Our graphical notation is fairly elementary…
Group theory involves the study of symmetry, and its inherent beauty gives it the potential to be one of the most accessible and enjoyable areas of mathematics, for students and non-mathematicians alike. Unfortunately, many students never…
In 1968, Dashen and Sharp obtained a certain singular Lie algebra of local densities and currents from canonical commutation relations in nonrelativistic quantum field theory. The corresponding Lie group is infinite dimensional: the natural…
Advances in mathematical physics during the 20th century led to the discovery of a relationship between group theory and representation theory with the theory of special functions. Specifically, it was discovered that many of the special…
In the first section we recall some basic notions on Lie algebras. In a second time we study the algebraic variety of complex $n$-dimensional Lie algebras. We present different notions of deformations : Gerstenhaber deformations,…
Numerical simulations have become an important tool to understand and predict non-perturbative phenomena in particle physics. In this article we attempt to present a general overview over the field. First, the basic concepts of lattice…
This is a series of short teaching papers dealing with specific topics in a standard first-year undergraduate Physics course. ----- Este texto comp\~oe-se de quatro pequenas notas -- independentes entre si -- em que se discutem alguns…
This is a brief introduction to the study of growth in groups of Lie type, with $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ and some of its subgroups as the key examples. They are an edited version of the notes I distributed at the Arizona Winter School in 2016.…
