These lectures are a brief introduction to supersymmetry.

This note is an expansion of three lectures given at the workshop "Topology, Complex Analysis and Arithmetic of Hyperbolic Spaces" held at Kyoto University in December of 2006 and will appear in the proceedings for this workshop.

This is an informal set of lecture notes on moduli spaces of curves based on a set of lectures given at the ICTP last summer. It begins at an elementary level and discusses the genus 1 case in detail. The notes then give an informal…

This is the authors doctoral thesis written at the Humboldt-University Berlin. It contains material from the three separate papers: "On the Kodaira dimension of the moduli space of nodal curves", "On quotients of…

In this talk, some aspects of duality symmetries are presented.

Known or essentially known results about duals of interpolation spaces are presented, taking a point of view sometimes slightly different from the usual one. Particular emphasis is placed on Alberto Calderon's theorem describing the duals…

These notes are a companion to the article "Lorentz spacetimes of constant curvature" by Geoffrey Mess, which was first written in 1990 but never published. Mess' paper will appear together with these notes in a forthcoming issue of…

These notes reproduce the content of a short, 50-minutes, survey talk given at the Nice University in September, 2004. We added a few topics that have not been touched on in the lecture by lack of time.

We completely characterize the left-symmetric points, the right-symmetric points, and, the symmetric points in the sense of Birkhoff-James, in a Banach space. We obtain a complete characterization of the left-symmetric (right-symmetric)…

In this short note, based on the talk given at the 3rd Conference of the Polish Society on Relativity, I present the basic points of our recent paper "Symmetries of quantum spacetime in three dimensions", stressing their physical meaning,…

Pairs of metrics in a two-dimensional linear vector space are considered, one of which is a Minkowski type metric. Their simultaneous diagonalizability is studied and canonical presentations for them are suggested.

Recently delivered lectures on Self-Referential Mathematics, [2], at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Pretoria, are briefly presented. Comments follow on the subject, as well as on Inconsistent…

Lecture notes on Finsler Geometry

These lecture notes explain the construction and basic properties of the wonderful compactification of a complex semisimple group of adjoint type. An appendix discusses the more general case of a semisimple symmetric space.

These are my lecture notes from a minicourse I gave at the Universite de Nantes about many-body scattering. I also discuss the relationship between many-body scattering and higher rank symmetric spaces, whose description is the result of…

These notes represent a much expanded and updated version of the \textquotedblleft mini course\textquotedblright that the author gave at the ETH (Z\"{u}rich) and the University of Z\"{u}rich in February of 1995. The purpose of these notes…

This is an edited write-up of lecture notes of the 7-th Appalachian set theory workshop of the same title led by the first named author at the Cornell University on November 22, 2008. A draft version of the notes was prepared by the second…

This is a position paper written as an introduction to the special volume on quantum algorithms I edited for the journal Mathematical Structures in Computer Science (Volume 20 - Special Issue 06 (Quantum Algorithms), 2010).

These are notes from elementary lectures given in the summer of 2013 at the YMSC center at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
