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.

Lecture given at the Landau Institute Seminar, Col de Port, March 1994, intended for a qualitative discussion of recent theoretical results in the physics of 1D quantum wires. The consideration is mainly focused on observable quantities,…
These lecture notes are meant to provide a pedagogical introduction, and present the latest theoretical and experimental developments on the physics of vortices in type II superconductors.
These notes contain a survey of some aspects of the theory of graded differential algebras and of noncommutative differential calculi as well as of some applications connected with physics. They also give a description of several new…

This set of four lectures was originally given at the VI Training Course in the Physics of Correlated Electron systems and High-Tc Superconductors, at Vietri Sur Mare, Italy (Oct 2001). The lectures are at an introductory level with…
In this talk I give a brief update on the recent progress in the SO(5) theory of high T_c superconductivity (Science, 275: 1089,1997). Reviewed topics include SO(5) ladders, the unification of BCS and SDW quasi-particles in the SO(5) theory…
The first version of these lecture notes is based on the hand-written notes I prepared for the cosmology course taught to graduate students of PPGFis and PPGCosmo at the Federal University of Esp\'irito Santo (UFES), starting in 2014. The…
This is an extended version of the talk given by the author at the NATO Advanced Study Institute "Supersymmetry and Trace Formulae" (Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge, UK, 8-19 Septemebr 1997). Contains the following sections: 1.…
These notes are from a series of lectures given at the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogot\'a, Colombia on some topics of current interest in quantum information. While they aim to be self-contained, they are necessarily incomplete and…
While in XX century the theory of superconductivity has focused on a homogeneous metal with a rigid lattice which can be reduced to a single effective conduction band in the dirty limit. Today in the XXI century, the physics of…
These are the lecture notes of a "Nachdiplomvorlesung" course taught at ETH Zurich in the Spring of 2013. They appeared in the EMS series Zurich Lectures in Advanced Mathematics.
Lectures given at the Summer School on "Modern perspectives in lattice QCD", Les Houches, August 3-28, 2009
These are extended notes of the course given by the author at RIMS, Kyoto, in October 2016. The aim is to give a self-contained overview on the recently developed approach to differential calculus on metric measure spaces. The effort is…
Status of hard/perturbative QCD phenomena is briefly reviewed. Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect is discussed as a means for establishing links between particle and nuclear high-energy physics.
The lectures are a practical introduction to perturbative calculations in QED and QCD. I discuss methods of calculation of one- and two-loop diagrams in dimensional regularization, MSbar and on-shell renormalization schemes, decoupling of…
