This is a brief introduction to the theories of Lie groups, algebraic groups and their discrete subgroups, which is based on a lecture series given during the Summer School held in the Banach Centre in Poland in Summer 2011.
This is the lecture note of my invited lecture given at the International Conference on Number Theory at Harish-Chandra Research Institute in Allahabad (quite near the River Ganges), India on December 5, 2006. I gave an invited lecture on…
This text is an introduction to a few selected areas of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry written for the volume of the school/conference "Noncommutative Geometry 2005" held at IPM Tehran. It is an expanded version of my lectures which…
The goal of this work is twofold: (i) to provide a detailed analysis of some categories of inductive graded ring - a concept introduced in [DM98] in order to provide a solution of Marshall's signature conjecture in the algebraic theory of…
These notes expand a four-hour lecture course given in Heidelberg in March 2023, as part of the "Spring School on non-Archimedean Geometry and Eigenvarieties". They are designed for graduate students and other learners. We introduce Huber…
These are the lecture notes for a short course in topological string theory that I gave at Uppsala University in the fall of 2004. The notes are aimed at PhD students who have studied quantum field theory and general relativity, and who…
In this expository note, I present some of the key features of the lattice of torsion classes of a finite-dimensional algebra, focussing in particular on its complete semidistributivity and consequences thereof. This is intended to serve as…
The course was given at Peking University, Fall 2019. We discuss the following subjects: (1) Introduction to general topology, hyperspaces, metric and pseudometric spaces, graph theory. (2) Graphs in metric spaces, minimum spanning tree,…
The goal of these notes is to provide an informal introduction to Gromov-Witten theory with an emphasis on its role in counting curves in surfaces. These notes are based on a talk given at the Fields Institute during a week-long conference…
We introduce a notion of Mathieu-Zhao subspaces of vertex algebras. Among other things, we show that for a vertex algebra $V$ and its subspace $M$ that contains $C_2(V)$, $M$ is a Mathieu-Zhao subspace of $V$ if and only if the quotient…
This is an extended and corrected version of lecture notes originally written for a one semester course at Leibniz University Hannover. The main aim of the notes is to give an introduction to the mathematical methods used in describing…
This paper collects and extends the lectures I gave at the "XXIV International Fall Workshop on Geometry and Physics" held in Zaragoza (Spain) August 31 - September 4, 2015. Within these lectures I review the formulation of Quantum…
These are notes related to a 12-hour course of lectures given at the Centre de Recerca Mathem\`atica near Barcelona in February, 2010. The aim of the course was to explain results on curves and their Jacobians over function fields, with…
These notes are for the author's lectures, "Integral Reduction and Applied Algebraic Geometry Techniques" in the School and Workshop on Amplitudes in Beijing 2016. I introduce the applications of algebraic geometry methods on multi-loop…
These are notes of a series of lectures on sieves, presented during the Special Activity in Analytic Number Theory, at the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, during the period January--June 2002.
This is an expanded version of talks given by the author at the Trieste Spring School on Supergravity and Superstrings in April of 1997 and at the accompanying workshop. The manuscript is intended to be a mini-review of Matrix Theory. The…
We introduce invariant rings for forms (homogeneous polynomials) and for d points on the projective space, from the point of view of representation theory. We discuss several examples, addressing some computational issues. We introduce the…
These are notes for a Ph.D.\ course I held at SISSA, Trieste, in the Winter 2025. We review well-known topics in Riemannian geometry where Lie groups play a fundamental role. Part of the theory of compact connected Lie groups, their…
These lectures on supersymmetry and extra dimensions are aimed at finishing undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students with a background in quantum field theory and group theory. Basic knowledge in general relativity might be…
These are my notes for a talk at the The Tate Conjecture workshop at the American Institute of Mathematics in Palo Alto, CA, July 23--July 27, 2007, somewhat revised and expanded. The intent of the talk was to review what is known and to…
