This is a short introductory course to Set Theory, based on axioms of von Neumann--Bernays--G\"odel (briefly NBG). The text can be used as a base for a lecture course in Foundations of Mathematics, and contains a reasonable minimum which a…
These are introductory lecture notes on Mather's theory for Tonelli Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. They are based on a series of lectures given by the author at Universit\`a degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II" (April 2009), at…
In these self-contained low prerequisite introductory notes we first present (in part 1) basic concepts of set theory and algebra without explicit category theory. We then present (in part 2) basic category theory involving a somewhat…
This is a non-standard paper, containing some problems in set theory I have in various degrees been interested in. Sometimes with a discussion on what I have to say; sometimes, of what makes them interesting to me, sometimes the problems…
A breakthrough took place in the von Neumann algebra theory when the Tomita-Takesaki theory was established around 1970. Since then, many important issues in the theory were developed through 1970's by Araki, Connes, Haagerup, Takesaki and…
This is a non-standard paper, containing some problems, mainly in model theory, which I have, in various degrees, been interested in. Sometimes with a discussion on what I have to say; sometimes, of what makes them interesting to me,…
The order topology $\tau_o(P)$ (resp. the sequential order topology $\tau_{os}(P)$) on a poset $P$ is the topology that has as its closed sets those that contain the order limits of all their order convergent nets (resp. sequences). For a…
These notes are from a 4-lecture mini-course taught by the author at the conference on von Neumann algebras as part of the ``Geometrie non commutative en mathematiques et physique'' month at CIRM in 2004.
We provide a formal introduction into the classic theorems of general topology and its axiomatic foundations in set theory. Starting from ZFC, the exposition in this first part includes relation and order theory as well as a construction of…
We take up Dedekind's question ''Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen?'' (''What are numbers, and would should they be?''), with the aim to describe the place that Conway's (Surreal) Numbers and Games take, or deserve to take, in the whole of…
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…
We study relations between subsets of integers that are large, where large can be interpreted in terms of size (such as a set of positive upper density or a set with bounded gaps) or in terms of additive structure (such as a Bohr set). Bohr…
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 lecture notes were written during a mini-course on noncommutative Lp-spaces at the Basque Center of Applied Mathematics. It starts presenting the theory of weights and traces in von Neumann algebra, followed by the theory of…
A new algebraic treatment of dependent type theory is proposed using ideas derived from topos theory and algebraic set theory.
We provide a formal introduction into the classic theorems of general topology and its axiomatic foundations in set theory. In this second part we introduce the fundamental concepts of topological spaces, convergence, and continuity, as…
Presented here is a transcription of the lecture notes from Professor Allan N. Kaufman's graduate statistical mechanics course at Berkeley from the 1972-1973 academic year. Part 1 addresses equilibrium statistical mechanics with topics:…
Different notions for order convergence have been considered by various authors. Associated to every notion of order convergence corresponds a topology, defined by taking as the closed sets those subsets of the poset satisfying that no net…
These notes are based on my four lectures given at the Newton Institute in April 2004 during the Recent Perspectives in Random Matrix Theory and Number Theory Workshop. Their purpose is to introduce the reader to the analytic number theory…
