We provide an up-to-date review of the recent constructive program for field theories of the vector, matrix and tensor type, focusing not on the models themselves but on the mathematical tools used.
In this paper are briefly outlined the motivations, mathematical ideas in use, pre-formalization and assumptions, object-as-functor construction, `soft' types and concept constructions, case study for concepts based on variable domains,…
This survey on flexible Weinstein manifolds is, essentially, an extract from our recent joint book.
This is the first in a series of papers dedicated to the study of Poisson manifolds of compact types (PMCTs). This notion encompasses several classes of Poisson manifolds defined via properties of their symplectic integrations. In this…
We provide an explicit description of symplectic leaves of a simply connected connected semisimple complex Lie group equipped with the standard Poisson-Lie structure. This sharpens previously known descriptions of the symplectic leaves as…
This is a written-up version of eight introductory lectures to the Hodge theory of projective manifolds. The table of contents should be self-explanatory. The only exception is section 8 where I discuss, in a simple example, a technique for…
This report on the topics in the title was written for a lecture series at the Southwestern Center for Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry at the University of Arizona.It may serve as an introduction to certain conjectural relations between…
This paper is part of series on self-contained papers in which a large part, if not the full extent, of the asymptotic limit theory of summands of independent random variables is exposed. Each paper of the series may be taken as review…
Six-dimensional superconformal field theories (6D SCFTs) occupy a central place in the study of quantum field theories encountered in high energy theory. This article reviews the top down construction and study of this rich class of quantum…
We present some plausible definitions for the tangent grupoid of a manifold M, as well as some of the known applications of the structure. This is a kind of introductory note.
This is a survey on rectifiability. I discuss basic properties of rectifiable sets, measures, currents and varifolds and their role in complex and harmonic analysis, potential theory, calculus of variations, PDEs and some other topics.
In this note, we extend to the singular case some results on the birational geometry of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds.
Simple constructions are given for finite semifields that include as special cases both old semifields and recently constructed semifields.
This contains a list of (mostly very minor) corrections to the book Introduction to Symplectic Topology, Clarendon Press, Oxford, (1995), together with rewritten versions of two lemmas and some additional comments.
In this paper, we study connections between the structure of a group and the structure of the group (under pointwise product) of its polynomial functions.
The goal of the paper is an exposition of the simplest $(2+1)$-TQFTs in a sense following a pictorial approach. In the end, we fell short on details in the later sections where new results are stated and proofs are outlined. Comments are…
In the first part of this paper we begin the study of polysymplectic manifolds, and of their relationship with PDE's. This notion provides a generalization of symplectic manifolds which is very well suited for the geometric study of PDE's…
Density functional theory (DFT) is an essential building block for modern theoretical physics, chemistry, and engineering, especially those concerning electronic properties. Through decades of development, various program packages for…
This is the foreword to the special volume on localization techniques in quantum field theory. We summarize the individual chapters and their relation.
