These are lecture notes for the course "MATS4120 Geometry of geodesics" given at the University of Jyv\"askyl\"a in Spring 2020. Basic differential geometry or Riemannian geometry is useful background but is not strictly necessary. Exercise…
These notes are a written version of a set of lectures given at TASI-02 on the topic of precision electroweak physics.
Geometric mechanics is usually studied in applied mathematics and most introductory texts are hence aimed at a mathematically minded audience. The present note tries to provide the intuition of geometric mechanics and to show the relevance…
Towards the end of nineteenth century, Celestial Mechanics provided the most powerful tools to test Newtonian gravity in the solar system, and led also to the discovery of chaos in modern science. Nowadays, in light of general relativity,…
