In this work, we study symplectic structures on graded manifolds and their global counterparts, higher Lie groupoids. We begin by introducing the concept of graded manifold, starting with the degree 1 case, and translating key geometric…
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…
Quantum graphity is a background independent model for emergent geometry, in which space is represented as a complete graph. The high-energy pre-geometric starting point of the model is usually considered to be the complete graph, however…
In this series of lectures directed towards a mainly mathematically oriented audience I try to motivate the use of operator algebra methods in quantum field theory. Therefore a title as ``why mathematicians are/should be interested in…
Over the past six years, a detailed framework has been constructed to unravel the quantum nature of the Riemannian geometry of physical space. A review of these developments is presented at a level which should be accessible to graduate…
We present a systematic collection of spectral surgery principles for the Laplacian on a metric graph with any of the usual vertex conditions (natural, Dirichlet or $\delta$-type), which show how various types of changes of a local or…
This paper records my opening remarks at Nobel Symposium 148, on Graphene and Quantum Matter, at Saltsj\"obaden, Sweden, in June 2010. After some broad comments on the quantum theory of matter as a frontier of physics, and some slightly…
I hesitated for a long time before giving shape to these notes, originally intended for preliminary reading by the attendees to the Summer School "New paths towards quantum gravity" (Holbaek Bay, Denmark, May 2008). At the end, I decide…
To unify general relativity and quantum theory is hard in part because they are formulated in two very different mathematical languages, differential geometry and functional analysis. A natural candidate for bridging this language gap, at…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are the subject of intense focus by the machine learning community for problems involving relational reasoning. GNNs can be broadly divided into spatial and spectral approaches. Spatial approaches use a form of…
The paper deals with some spectral properties of (mostly infinite) quantum and combinatorial graphs. Quantum graphs have been intensively studied lately due to their numerous applications to mesoscopic physics, nanotechnology, optics, and…
Heat kernel coefficients encode the short distance behavior of propagators in the presence of background fields, and are thus useful in quantum field theory. We present a Mathematica program for computing these coefficients and their…
We present an overview of the history of the heat kernel and eigenfunctions on Riemannian manifolds and how the theory has lead to modern methods of analyzing high dimensional data via eigenmaps and other spectral embeddings. We begin with…
Geometrization of physical theories have always played an important role in their analysis and development. In this contribution we discuss various aspects concerning the geometrization of physical theories: from classical mechanics to…
Notes from lectures given at the Autumn School on Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universit\"at Mainz in October 2017.
These notes were originally prepared as additional material for the lessons I have given at the summer school Gamma-ray Astrophysics and Multifrequency: Data analysis and astroparticle problems, organized by the Department of Physics of the…
These are the lecture notes that accompanied the course of the same name that I taught at the Eindhoven University of Technology from 2021 to 2023. The course is intended as an introduction to neural networks for mathematics students at the…
These are the lecture notes for a short course on geometric quantization given by the author at the XVIII Modave Summer School on Mathematical Physics, Sep 5 - Sep 9.
We study the spectral geometry of the Riemann curvature tensor for Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and provide some examples illustrating the phenomena which can arise in the higher signature setting. Dedication: This paper is dedicated to the…
We study integral kernels of strongly continuous semigroups on Lebesgue spaces over metric measure spaces. Based on semigroup smoothing properties and abstract Morrey-type inequalities, we give sufficient conditions for H\"older or…
