In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the Hilbert functions and the associated properties of the graded modules. To attain this, we construct the graded modules from the sets of points in projective space, $\mathbb{P}_k^n$…
This is a note on toroidalization, formulated as the problem of resolution of singularities of morphisms in the logarithmic category. It is submitted to the proceedings of the Barrett conference held at the University of Tennessee at…
I review some recent results on four-manifold invariants which have been obtained in the context of topological quantum field theory. I focus on three different aspects: (a) the computation of correlation functions, which give explicit…
This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…
This is an introduction to linear algebra and group theory. We first review the linear algebra basics, namely the determinant, the diagonalization procedure and more, and with the determinant being constructed as it should, as a signed…
This is author's Habilitation Thesis (Dr. Sci. dissertation) submitted at the beginning of September 2004. It is written in Russian and is posted due to the continuing requests for the manuscript. The content: 1. Introduction, 2. Nonlinear…
This article is a short introduction to the theory of the groups of points of elliptic curves over finite fields. It is concerned with the elementary theory and practice of elliptic curves cryptography, the new generation of public key…
In this dissertation we study basic local differential geometry, projective differential geometry, and prolongations of overdetermined geometric partial differential equations. It is simple to prolong an n-th order linear ordinary…
The purpose of the paper is to give a new approach to tamely-ramified descent in Bruhat-Tits theory. This descent was first studied by Guy Rousseau in his thesis.
This manuscript represents the author's PhD dissertation thesis.The first part studies decision problems in Thompson's groups F,T,V and some generalizations. The simultaneous conjugacy problem is determined to be solvable for Thompson's…
This article is the first report of an ongoing project aimed at finding a geometric interpretation of the Witten genus and other tmf classes. Section 2 reviews the sheaves of chiral differential operators (CDOs) over a complex manifold,…
Frederick William Gehring was a hugely influential mathematician who spent most of his career at the University of Michigan. Gehring's major research contributions were to Geometric Function Theory, particularly in higher dimensions…
In this exposition we discuss the theory of algebraic extensions of valued fields. Our approach is mostly through Galois theory. Most of the results are well-known, but some are new. No previous knowledge on the theory of valuations is…
This thesis delves into the geometry of abstract tropical curves, exploring their complete linear system and associated tropical submodules. We establish a lower bound on the dimension of tropical submodules in terms of the Baker-Norine…
This is the Habilitation Thesis manuscript presented at Besan\c{c}on on January 5, focusing on Matrix Analysis, Matrix Inequalities and Matrix Decompositions. There are also some topics in (Hilbert space) Operator Theory. The text should be…
Recently we have discussed a new approach to the problem of quantum gravity in which the quantum mechanical structures that are traditionally fixed, such as the Fubini-Study metric in the Hilbert space of states, become dynamical and so…
This is an expository article, based on a lecture course given at CRM Barcelona in December 2009. The purpose of these notes is to prove, in a reasonably self-contained way, that finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich group implies the parity…
In his earlier work, the author introduced a group theory question that arises in the study of iterated Galois groups of post-critically finite quadratic polynomials. In this paper, we prove the first non-trivial results on this question.
When undergraduates ask me what geometric group theorists study, I describe a theorem due to Gromov which relates the groups with an intrinsic geometry like that of the hyperbolic plane to those in which certain computations can be…
These are the notes for my 2017 Takagi lectures on DT counts of curves in algebraic threefolds. We discuss the fundamentals of the subject, its origins, open questions, and certain recent advances.
