Notes of an introductory course given at the conference "Torsors: Theory and Applications" in Edinburgh, January 2011.
These notes provide an introductory exposition of the Seiberg-Witten gauge theory. They collect the material presented in a series of seminars given by the author at the University of Milano.
Lecture notes on selected topics in the theory of gravitation.
These notes accompany some lectures given at the autumn school "Tresses in Pau" in October 2009. The abelian Reidemeister torsion for 3-manifolds, and its refinements by Turaev, are introduced. Some applications, including relations between…
This is a (mostly expository) paper on Reidemeister classes, twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory, congruences, R-infinity property and all that. It was written in 2005 and published in 2008. We post it as it was, only the bibliography data is…
These are yet another lecture notes on Seiberg-Witten invariants, where no claim of originality is made, they contain a discussion of some related results from the recent literature.
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.
These are lecture notes of a course on Calogero-Moser systems and their connections with representation theory and geometry, given by the author in Zurich in May-June 2005.
These are the lecture notes of a "Nachdiplomvorlesung" course taught at ETH Zurich in the Spring of 2013. They appeared in the EMS series Zurich Lectures in Advanced Mathematics.
These are course notes I wrote for my Fall 2013 graduate topics course on geometric structures, taught at ICERM. The notes rework many of proofs in William P. Thurston's beautiful but hard-to-understand paper, "Shapes of Polyhedra". A…
Brief lecture notes for a course about random matrices given at the University of Cambridge.
In this expository note, I present some of the key features of the lattice of torsion classes of a finite-dimensional algebra, focussing in particular on its complete semidistributivity and consequences thereof. This is intended to serve as…
Notes for the author's MSRI lecture in January 2014.
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…
These lecture notes are based on a set of six lectures that I gave in Edinburgh in 2008/2009 and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and conjectures and I hope they may…
This is an updated version of the lectures notes for a course on condensed mathematics taught in the summer term 2019 at the University of Bonn. The material presented is joint work with Dustin Clausen. This is intended as a stable citable…
In these lectures I will discuss the following topics: (1) Twistors in 4 flat dimensions: Massless particles; constrained phase space (x,p) versus twistors; Physical states in twistor space. (2) Introduction to 2T-physics and derivation of…
The notes contain a streamlined account on stability of univariate polynomials and related problems
These are lecture notes from a mini-course taught at Winterbraids XIII (Montpellier, 2024). The main character of these notes are curves in the complex projective plane, viewed from a topological perspective.
These are lecture notes for a 4h mini-course held in Toulouse, May 9-12th, at the thematic school on "Quantum topology and geometry". The goal of these lectures is to (a) explain some incarnations, in the last ten years, of the idea of…
