This volume constitutes the pre-proceedings of the 26th International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2016), held on 6-8th September 2016 in Edinburgh, Scotland UK, and co-located with the 18th…
These are (not updated) notes from the lectures I gave at the NATO ASI ``Symmetric Functions 2001'' at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge (June 25 -- July 6, 2001). Their goal is an informal introduction to asymptotic combinatorics…
This paper serves to elucidate the nature of toric duality dubbed in hep-th/0003085 in the construction for world volume theories of D-branes probing arbitrary toric singularities. This duality will be seen to be due to certain permutation…
These are introductory lecture notes on Mather's theory for Tonelli Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. They are based on a series of lectures given by the author at Universit\`a degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II" (April 2009), at…
In these expository notes we draw together and develop the ideas behind some recent progress in two directions: the treatment of finite type partial differential operators by prolongation, and a class of differential complexes known as…
These lecture notes are based on an introductory course given by the author at the summer school "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" at MSRI in June 2012. The emphasis throughout is on examples to illustrate the many different facets of…
This is the written version of a talk given on 1 July 2009 at the XXV Max Born Symposium: the Planck Scale, held in Wroclaw, Poland. I review the possible transverse geometries to supersymmetric M2-brane configurations and discuss the…
These notes provide a short, focused introduction to modelling stochastic gene expression, including a derivation of the master equation, the recovery of deterministic dynamics, birth-and-death processes, and Langevin theory. The notes were…
These are the contributed papers presented at the 20th International Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and Practice (LFMTP 2025), at Birmingham, UK on 19 July as a satellite event of the FSCD conference. The program…
Gestures are an expressive input modality for controlling multiple robots, but their use is often limited by rigid mappings and recognition constraints. To move beyond these limitations, we propose roleplaying metaphors as a scaffold for…
In this final report, I briefly reflect on two parallel teaching experiences as tutor. Besides, I briefly view such experiences in interaction with my research work, private life and new teaching position. In harmony with my conception of…
This document collects the lecture notes from my course "Communication Complexity (for Algorithm Designers),'' taught at Stanford in the winter quarter of 2015. The two primary goals of the course are: 1. Learn several canonical problems…
I provide a summary of the theoretical talks in Hard Probes 2012 together with some personal thoughts about the present and the future of the field.
The subjects in the title are interwoven in many different and very deep ways. I recently wrote several expository accounts [64-66] that reflect a certain range of developments, but even in their totality they cannot be taken as a…
The First International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education, TFPIE 2012, was held on June 11, 2012 at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, professors, teachers, and all…
Ever faster computers are enabling us to extend our standard land use transportation interaction (LUTI) models to systems of cities within which individual cities compete for resources within the wider environment in which they interact.As…
These lecture notes are based on lectures given in 2019 Saint-Flour Probability School.
The second of the annual BritGrav meetings on current research in Gravitational Physics in Britain took place at the School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary, University of London on June 10/11, 2002. 47 plenary talks of 12min duration…
These notes are the second half of the contents of the course given by the second author at the Bachelier Seminar (8-15-22 February 2008) at IHP. They also correspond to topics studied by the first author for her Ph.D.thesis.
Right before Nolan's movie was released, I gave a talk on Oppenheimer, trying to anticipate what elements of Bird and Sherwin's biography on which the movie is based would make it into the movie. In this article, written for the October…
