These lecture notes have been prepared as a course in fluid mechanics up to the presentation of the millennium problem listed by the Clay Mathematical Institute. At the end, a very modern aspect of fluid mechanics is covered concerning the…
Torsion appears in literature in quite different forms. Generally, spin is considered to be the source of torsion, but there are several other possibilities in which torsion emerges in different contexts. In some cases a phenomenological…
These are lecture notes, which summarize the current status of the Semiclassical theory, as well as Monopoles, Instantons, Instanton-dyons and Flux tubes. The emphasis is on QCD and QCD-like theories (deformed QCD), although relevant points…
These notes expound the recent use of the signature transform and rough path theory in data science and machine learning. We develop the core theory of the signature from first principles and then survey some recent popular applications of…
These are the notes from lectures I gave at the Oberwolfach Seminar "Tensor Triangular Geometry and Interactions" which was held in October 2025. The aim of these notes is twofold: We develop notions of support for triangulated categories,…
Lectures given at the Trieste Summer School, 1992. These notes are an update of my review article "Classical and Quantum W-Gravity", preprint QMW-92-1, published in in "Strings and Symmetries 1991", with some extra material on W-geometry,…
Understanding how torsion theories are described and constructed is crucial to the study of torsion theory. Mutations of torsion theories have been studied as a method of constructing another torsion theory from a given one. We have already…
These lectures are a brief introduction to supersymmetry.
These are expanded notes of a seminar held in Columbia university during the Spring and Fall of 2024 about the theory of analytic stacks of Clausen and Scholze, with a focus in the theory of solid mathematics. The seminar is inspired from…
These lecture notes concern information-theoretic notions of entropy. They are intended for, and have been successfully taught to, undergraduate students interested inresearch careers. Besides basic notions of analysis related to…
In two previous papers with Yi-Jen Lee, we defined and computed a notion of Reidemeister torsion for the Morse theory of closed 1-forms on a finite dimensional manifold. The present paper gives an a priori proof that this Morse theory…
These notes contain part of the lectures of an introductory course on orthogonal polynomials and special functions that I gave in the joint PhD Program in Mathematics UC|UP in the academic years 2015-2016 (at University of Porto) and…
These are the expanded lecture notes from the author's mini-course during the graduate summer school of the Park City Math Institute in 2015. The main topics covered are: geometry of Springer fibers, affine Springer fibers and Hitchin…
These lecture notes in the De Rham-Hodge theory are designed for a 1-semester undergraduate course (in mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry or biology). This landmark theory of the 20th Century mathematics gives a rigorous…
These notes are loosely based on an introductory course in algebraic geometry given at Rutgers University in Spring of 2024. We introduce some relatively advanced topics at the expense of the technical details.
These lecture notes give an introduction to the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of rational points, focusing on the interplay between theory and computation.
These are notes of lectures on spinning particles and the worldline formalism originally given by Olindo Corradini and Christian Schubert at the School on Spinning Particles in Quantum Field Theory: Worldline Formalism, Higher Spins, and…
A 2008 general overview on Weil-Petersson geometry is offered. A preliminary plan for the subsequent CBMS lectures at Central Connecticut State University is included. Mirzakhani's solution of Witten-Kontsevich is not included - this work…
In this paper, we study the torsion subgroup, which is denoted by ${\rm TK}_1(E)$, of the Whitehead group $E^*/[E^*,E^*]$ of a graded division algebra $E$ which is finite dimensional over its center. In particular, we provide formulas for…
This is a short summary of my lectures given at the Fourth Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics. These lectures gave a brief introduction to black holes in string theory, in which I primarily focussed on describing some of…
