This paper is based on four lectures given at the Trieste Summer School 1994 on theories of fermion masses. The first two lectures introduce three mechanisms which have been used to construct models of fermion masses. We then discuss some…
In this lecture, I review some of the perspectives on the Higgs boson discussed at the Higgs Hunting 2012 Worshop and discuss the short- and long-term aspects of Higgs physics.
In a series of recent papers, we have introduced an object that was constructed on the connection but which was proven to be a tensor: this object, thus called tensorial connection, has been defined and some of its properties have been…

This paper is based on author's lectures at Kyoto University in 2010 Summer, and in the 6th MSJ-SI `Development of Moduli Theory' at RIMS in June 2013. The purpose of lectures was to review several results on Hilbert schemes of points which…
This is a survey paper based on my talk at the Workshop on Orbifolds and String Theory, the goal of which was to explain the role of groupoids and their classifying spaces as a foundation for the theory of orbifolds.
These lecture notes were prepared as a basic introduction to the theory of constrained systems which is how the fundamental forces of nature appear in their Hamiltonian formulation. Only a working knowledge of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian…
These are the notes accompanying three lectures given by the second author at the Motivic Geometry program at CAS, which aim to give an introduction and an overview of some recent developments in the field of reciprocity sheaves.
This article is a summary of four introductory lectures on ``Neutrino Experiments,'' given at the 2006 TASI summer school. The purposes were to sketch out the present questions in neutrino physics and to discuss the experimental challenges…
These are lecture notes for a mini-course on stochastic sewing, taught at the University of Edinburgh and Beijing Institute of Technology in Spring/Summer 2025. The aim is to introduce the reader to stochastic sewing techniques and to show…
These are notes based on a course that I gave at the University of Chicago in Fall 2016 on "Loop measures and the loop-erased random walk." This is not intended to be a comprehensive view but rather a personal selection of some key ideas…
