Lecture notes given at the summer school ``Applications of random matrices to physics", Les Houches, June 2004.
These are lecture notes compiled for a short lecture series at the 2023 Condensed Matter Summer School at the University of Minnesota. They are designed to be conversational and fun, and not to take the place of review articles that do a…
Chapters 1 to 4 are the lecture notes of my course "Real Algebraic Geometry I" from the winter term 2020/2021. Chapters 5 to 8 are the lecture notes of its continuation "Real Algebraic Geometry II" from the summer term 2021. Chapters 9 and…
There is recent interest in finding a potential formulation for Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs). The rationale behind this idea lies in obtaining all the dynamical information of the system under study from one single…
We present a method to learn mean residence time and escape probability from data modeled by stochastic differential equations. This method is a combination of machine learning from data (to extract stochastic differential equations as…
In this paper, we introduce a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with fractional time-derivatives, and study the $L_2$-theory of the equations. This class of SPDEs can be used to describe random effects on transport…
The European School of High-Energy Physics is intended to give young physicists an introduction to the theoretical aspects of recent advances in elementary particle physics. These proceedings contain lecture notes on the Standard Model of…
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…
Lectures deliverd at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on QCD Perspectives on Hot and Dense Matter, Cargese, Aug. 6 - 18, 2001. Dedicated to the memory of Dominique Vautherin.
These are the extended lecture notes of my lecture about ``Linear Operators on Polynomials, $K$-Positivity Preserver, and their Generators''. The lecture was given at the University of Konstanz in the winter semester 2025/26.
These lecture notes in Lie Groups are designed for a 1--semester third year or graduate course in mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry or biology. This landmark theory of the 20th Century mathematics and physics gives a rigorous…
The two-body potential of systems with long-range interactions decays at large distances as $V(r)\sim 1/r^\alpha$, with $\alpha\leq d$, where $d$ is the space dimension. Examples are: gravitational systems, two-dimensional hydrodynamics,…
We present a novel approach to investigate the long-time stochastic dynamics of multi-dimensional classical systems, in contact with a heat-bath. When the potential energy landscape is rugged, the kinetics displays a decoupling of short and…
This is the write-up of the talk I gave at the 23rd International Symposium on Mathematical Programming (ISMP) in Bordeaux, France, July 6th, 2018. The talk was a general overview of the state of the art of time-varying, mainly convex,…
Early in 2011 Sam Evens acting on behalf of the organizers of the summer school on quantization at Notre Dame asked me to give a short series of lectures on geometric quantization. These lectures were meant to prepare a group of graduate…
This is a set of lecture notes of a course on statistical physics and thermodynamics, which is oriented, to a certain extent, towards electrical engineering students. The main body of the lectures is devoted to statistical physics, whereas…
This is a writeup of lectures on "statistics" that have evolved from the initial version for the 2009 Hadron Collider Physics Summer School at CERN to versions for other venues and, most recently, for the African School of Fundamental…
Statistical physics and dynamical systems theory are key tools to study high-impact geophysical events such as temperature extremes, cyclones, thunderstorms, geomagnetic storms and many more. Despite the intrinsic differences between these…
These notes are based on a series of lectures given first at the University of Warwick in spring 2008 and then at the Courant Institute, Imperial College London, and EPFL. It is an attempt to give a reasonably self-contained presentation of…
These lectures present results and problems on the characterization of structurally stable dynamics. We will shed light those which do not seem to depend on the regularity class (holomorphic or differentiable). Furthermore, we will present…
