In this article we give a survey on open problems and conjectures concerning L^2-invariants. We cover the whole portfolio and not only certain aspects as they are considered in the previous more specialized (and within their scope more…
A pre-Lie algebroid is an anchored bundle provided with an almost Lie bracket such that the anchor is compatible with the Lie bracket of vector fields. We firstly show how most geometrical structures intensively studied in the framework of…
Projective spaces for finite-dimensional vector spaces over general fields are considered. The geometry of these spaces and the theory of line bundles over these spaces is presented. Particularly, the space of global regular sections of…
In the last twenty years a number of papers appeared aiming to construct locally free replacements of the sheaf of principal parts for families of Gorenstein curves. The main goal of this survey is to present to the widest possible audience…
This paper is the third in a series dedicated to the fundamentals of sub-Riemannian geometry and its implications in Lie groups theory: "Sub-Riemannian geometry and Lie groups. Part I", math.MG/0210189, available at…
I begin by explaining how Riemannian geometry can be understood in terms of principal fibre bundles and connections thereon. I then introduce and motivate the definition of a spinor structure in terms of familiar geometrical ideas. The…
In this paper we develop a geometric approach to higher order mechanics on graded bundles in both, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, via the recently discovered weighted algebroids. We present the corresponding Tulczyjew triple for…
Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…
This paper is based on my talk at ICM on recent progress in a number of classical problems of linear algebra and representation theory, based on new approach, originated from geometry of stable bundles and geometric invariant theory.
This thesis opens with an introductory discussion, where the reader is gently led to the world of topological combinatorics, and, where the results of this Habilitationsschrift are portrayed against the backdrop of the broader philosophy of…
Special class of Finsler metrics that can be decomposed to the product of two Riemannian metrics is considered. Based on such decomposition a new kind of Finsler gravity is suggested. Physical applications of Finsler decomposed metric are…
The thesis concerns Hilbert schemes of points and apart from mathematical results, contains small open problems and history sections, see the introduction for more details. The thesis has not been edited since 2017, see first page for more…
These notes contain a survey of some aspects of the theory of differential modules and complexes as well as of their generalization, that is, the theory of $N$-differential modules and $N$-complexes. Several applications and examples coming…
This is the first version of a submission made to vixra back in August 2009. It is concerned with the exploration of various ideas due to Roy Frieden of the University of Arizona in his manuscript "Physics from Fisher Information", which…
This is an invited survey article on higher gauge theory for the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, 2nd edition. In particular, we provide a lightning introduction to higher structures and to the construction of the kinematical data of…
In this paper, we introduce a broad class of metrics on the slit tangent bundle of Finsler manifolds, termed \emph{$F$-natural metrics}. These metrics parallel the well-established $g$-natural metrics on the tangent bundles of Riemannian…
In this short pedagogical presentation, we introduce the spin groups and the spinors from the point of view of group theory. We also present, independently, the construction of the low dimensional Clifford algebras. And we establish the…
This thesis contains work which appeared in several papers. Additionally to the results in the papers it contains a detailed introduction and some further proofs and remarks. The dissertation gives a description of the topology and…
We present a brief review of discrete structures in a finite Hilbert space, relevant for the theory of quantum information. Unitary operator bases, mutually unbiased bases, Clifford group and stabilizer states, discrete Wigner function,…
We give an overview on the status and on the perspectives of Finsler gravity, beginning with a discussion of various motivations for considering a Finslerian modification of General Relativity. The subjects covered include Finslerian…
