In this talk we discuss how ideas from the theory of mixed Hodge structures can be used to find differential equations for Feynman integrals. In particular we discuss the two-loop sunrise graph in two dimensions and show that these methods…
Hysteresis can be defined from a dynamical systems perspective with respect to equilibrium points. Consequently, hysteresis naturally lends itself as a topic to illustrate and extend concepts in a dynamical systems course. A number of…
Two items are reproduced herein: my `Outlook' talk, an amended version of which was presented at the 1991 joint Lepton--Photon and EPS Conference in Geneva, and an Open Letter addressed to HEPAP. One is addressed primarily to the European…
The most commonnly used methods of the theoretical analysis of electromagnetic oscillations and waves are described. The lectures are given for the fourth-year students of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. These lectures can be…
In this set of lectures, we give a pedagogical introduction to the subject of anyons. We discuss 1) basic concepts in anyon physics, 2) quantum mechanics of two anyon systems, 3) statistical mechanics of many anyon systems, 4) mean field…
We construct and study a triangulated category of motives with modulus $\mathbf{MDM}_{\mathrm{gm}}^{\mathrm{eff}}$ over a field $k$ that extends Voevodsky's category $\mathbf{DM}_{\mathrm{gm}}^{\mathrm{eff}}$ in such a way as to encompass…
We describe the origins of recurrence relations between field theory amplitudes in terms of the construction of Feynman diagrams. In application we derive recurrence relations for the amplitudes of QED which hold to all loop orders and for…
We define a notion of colimit for diagrams in a motivic category indexed by a presheaf of spaces (e.g. an \'etale classifying space), and we study basic properties of this construction. As a case study, we construct the motivic analogs of…
Public lecture given at The Fields Institute, June 2, 2005.
We establish a $v_1$-periodicity theorem in Ext over the complex-motivic Steenrod algebra. The element $h_1$ of Ext, which detects the homotopy class $\eta$ in the motivic Adams spectral sequence, is non-nilpotent and therefore generates…
These lecture notes accompany a one-semester graduate course on information and learning in economic theory. Topics include common knowledge, Bayesian updating, monotone-likelihood ratio properties, affiliation, the Blackwell order, cost of…
Lecture notes prepared for the 2021 SAGEX PhD School in Amplitudes hosted by the University of Copenhagen August 10th through 13th. Topics covered include: the manifestation of asymptotic symmetries via soft theorems, their organization…
We give a nontechnical description of the behaviour of dynamical systems governed by two distinct time scales. We discuss in particular memory effects, such as bifurcation delay and hysteresis, and comment the scaling behaviour of…
Notes from lectures given at the Autumn School on Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universit\"at Mainz in October 2017.
Informal lecture notes with examples on sheaf theory and the derived category of sheaves; sheaves and Morse theory; perverse sheaves, and some applications to representation theory. Added Oct 2021: cellular perverse sheaves. Proofs are…
I summarise the concluding remarks I gave at the Multifrequency Behaviour of High Energy Cosmic Sources - XIII Workshop. That was not a summary talk and was meant to be provocative. I first give what I think the main message of the workshop…
We study the overdamped motion of a Brownian particle in a driven double-well system to understand various physical phenomena observed experimentally. These phenomena include hysteresis, stochastic resonance, and net unidirectional motion…
Chapters 1 to 4 are the lecture notes of my course "Real Algebraic Geometry I" from the winter term 2020/2021. Chapters 5 to 8 are the lecture notes of its continuation "Real Algebraic Geometry II" from the summer term 2021. Chapters 9 and…
Dynamical and thermal characterizations of excited nuclear systems produced during the collisions between two heavy ions at intermediate incident energies are presented by means of a review of experimental and theoretical work performed in…
In the present work, electroencephalographic recordings of healthy human participants were performed to study the entrainment of brainwaves using a variety of stimulus. First, periodic entrainment of the brainwaves was studied using two…
