A new type of sectional curvature is introduced. The notion is purely algebraic and can be located in linear algebra as well as in differential geometry.
In this article we will represent some ideas and a lot of new theorems in Euclidean plane geometry.
We formulate a number of new results in Algebraic Geometry and outline their derivation from Theorem 2.12 which belongs to Algebraic Combinatorics.
A brief survey of real algebraic structures on topological spaces is given. This article is written for the Gokova Gemetry/Topology Conference proceedings.
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…
Here I share a few notes I used in various course lectures, talks, etc. Some may be just calculations that in the textbooks are more complicated, scattered, or less specific; others may be simple observations I found useful or curious.
We introduce orbifolds from the classical point of view, using charts, and present orbifold versions of elementary objects from Algebraic Topology, such as the fundamental group, coverings and Euler characteristic; Differential…
We study the notion of geometric structures for toposes: This generalizes the notion of (X,G) manifolds. We give some applications to algebraic geometry
We develop a graphical notation to introduce classical Lie algebras. Although this paper deals with well-known results, our pictorial point of view is slightly different to the traditional one. Our graphical notation is fairly elementary…
The paper is a survey of some results about Weil algebras applicable in differential geometry, especially in some classification questions on bundles of generalized velocities and contact elements. Mainly, a number of claims concerning a…
This paper presents a brief but comprehensive introduction to certain mathematical techniques in General Relativity. Familiar mathematical procedures are investigated taking into account the complications of introducing a non trivial…
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 lecture notes provide an informal introduction to the theory of nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares. We highlight the history and some recent developments, especially the new connections with classical (complex) algebraic…
This article provides a simple geometric interpretation of the quadratic formula. The geometry helps to demystify the formula's complex appearance and casts it into a much simpler existence, thus potentially benefits early algebra students.
In this note we introduce a new technique to answer an issue posed in [7] concerning geometric properties of the set of non-surjective linear operators. We also extend and improve a related result from the same paper.
This lecture note is hopefully helpful to undergraduate and postgraduate students or beginning Ph.D students both in theoretical physics and in applied mathematics. Modern terminology in differential geometry has been discussed in the book…
Universal algebraic geometry is generalised from solutions of equations in a single algebra to the study of $\varphi$- or $K$-spectra, akin to the prime spectrum of a ring. We explore their basic properties and constructions, give a…
There are versions of "calculus" in many settings, with various mixtures of algebra and analysis. In these informal notes we consider a few examples that suggest a lot of interesting questions.
Homological algebra is often understood as the translator between the world of topology and algebra. However, this branch of mathematics is worth studying by itself, given that it provides fascinating perspectives about other disciplines,…
We present an introduction to the theory of algebraic geometry codes. Starting from evaluation codes and codes from order and weight functions, special attention is given to one-point codes and, in particular, to the family of Castle codes.
