This is an extended abstract of my talk at the Oberwolfach Workshop "Representation Theory of Quivers and Finite-Dimensional Algebras" (February 12 - February 18, 2023 ). It is based on a joint work with R. Bennett-Tennenhaus…
This expository essay is focused on the Shafarevich-Tate set of a group $G$. Since its introduction for a finite group by Burnside, it has been rediscovered and redefined more than once. We discuss its various incarnations and properties as…
This survey paper, based on a talk at the International Congress of Basic Science in Beijing in July 2025, summarizes joint work of the authors with M. Kontsevich [1408.2673] establishing the relation between the ``Algebra of the Infrared"…
This is the text of the lecture given by the author in Naples at "Giornata IndAM", June 7, 2005. The lecture is addressed at the general mathematical audience and reviews several topics in deformation theory of associative algebras.
This is an intrusion in the life and the mathematics of Norbert A'Campo, intended to be a tribute to him and an acknowledgement of his impact on those who know him and his work. The final version of this paper appears in the book ``Essays…
This paper is based on author's lectures at Kyoto University in 2010 Summer, and in the 6th MSJ-SI `Development of Moduli Theory' at RIMS in June 2013. The purpose of lectures was to review several results on Hilbert schemes of points which…

A short informal survey on the topics listed in the title. For the proceedings of the International Conference on Rings and Algebras X.
The paper is an extended version of the talk which I gave at the XIX Congresso dell'UMI in Bologna in September 2011. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to give an overview on the recent development in the classification of surfaces…
In this paper we survey the main results about Golod-Shafarevich groups and their applications in algebra, number theory and topology.
All current techniques for showing that a number field has an infinite p-class field tower depend on one of various forms of the Golod-Shafarevich inequality. Such techniques can also be used to restrict the types of p-groups which can…
We present several recent developments on ELSV-type formulae and topological recursion concerning Chiodo classes and several kind of Hurwitz numbers. The main results appeared in D. Lewanski, A. Popolitov, S. Shadrin, D. Zvonkine, "Chiodo…
The note complements topological aspects of the theory of chiral algebras.
In this paper, we study two topics. One is the divisibility problem of class groups of quadratic number fields and its connections to algebraic geometry. The other is the construction of Selmer group and Tate-Shafarevich group for an…
