The present notes are based on a course on Cherednik algebras given by the first author at MIT in the Fall of 2009. Their goal is to give an introduction to Cherednik algebras, and to review the web of connections between them and other…
We give an overview of results on irregular complex surfaces of general type, discussing in particular the distribution of the numerical invariants self-intersection of a canonical divisor and holomorphic Euler characteristic for the…
In this pages I give an overview of the relationship between Model Theory, Arithmetic and Algebraic Geometry. The topics will be the basic ones in the area, so this is just an invitation, in the presentation of topics I mainly follow the…
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 short note gives an overview of how a few conjectures and theorems of the author and collaborators fit together. It was prepared for Oberwolfach's workshop Differentialgeometrie im Gro{\ss}en, 28 June - 4 July 2015, and contains no new…
This is a very brief introduction to quantum computing and quantum information theory, primarily aimed at geometers. Beyond basic definitions and examples, I emphasize aspects of interest to geometers, especially connections with asymptotic…
To what extent can we distinguish one probability distribution from another? Are there quantitative measures of distinguishability? The goal of this tutorial is to approach such questions by introducing the notion of the "distance" between…
These are informal lecture notes for a three-hour minicourse on Kac-Moody groups, given at the workshop "Kac-Moody geometry" in July 2023 in Kiel. They provide a concise overview of the book "An introduction to Kac-Moody groups over…
