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,…
This survey provides an overview of common applications, both implicit and explicit, of "tensors" and "tensor products" in the fields of data science and statistics. One goal is to reconcile seemingly distinct usages of the term "tensor" in…
This short introduction to positive geometries, targeted at a mathematical audience, is based on my talk at OPAC 2022.
The aim of this elaborate is presenting the classical symmetric tensors completion problem to an audience of graduate students. As main studying tool, we will introduce the theory of hypergraph rigidity which naturally mirrors the problem…
This text is a short but comprehensive introduction to the basics of supergeometry and includes some of the recent advances in colored supergeometry. We do not aim for a standard text that states results and proves them more or less…
We generalize the tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra previously developed in a series of papers by the first two authors to suitable module categories for a ``conformal vertex algebra'' or even more generally,…
The spectrum of a tensor-triangulated category carries a compact Hausdorff topology, called the constructible topology, also known as the patch topology. We prove that patch-dense subsets detect tt-ideals and we prove that any infinite…
This is the eighth part in a series of papers in which we introduce and develop a natural, general tensor category theory for suitable module categories for a vertex (operator) algebra. In this paper (Part VIII), we construct the braided…
Observations suggest that our universe is spatially flat on the largest observable scales. Exactly six different compact orientable three-dimensional manifolds admit flat metrics. These six manifolds are therefore the most natural choices…
We explicitly construct small triangulations for a number of well-known 3-dimensional manifolds and give a brief outline of some aspects of the underlying theory of 3-manifolds and its historical development.
This survey/expository article covers a variety of topics related to the "topology at infinity" of noncompact manifolds and complexes. In manifold topology and geometric group theory, the most important noncompact spaces are often…
The main objective of this thesis is a classification project for integral lattices. Using Kneser's neighbour method we have developed the computer program tn to classify complete genera of integral lattices. Main results are detailed…
These are expanded notes for a short series of lectures, presented at the University of Luxembourg in 2017, giving an introduction to some of the ideas of supersymmetry and supergeometry. In particular, we start from some motivating facts…
We study low T-phase-rank approximation of sectorial third-order tensors $\mathscr{A}\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n\times p}$ under the tensor T-product. We introduce canonical T-phases and T-phase rank, and formulate the approximation task as…
We introduce a new topological invariant of a rigidly-compactly generated tensor-triangulated category and two new notions of support. The first is based on smashing subcategories: it is unknown whether the frame of smashing subcategories…
We define a notion on preadditive categories which plays a role similar to the notion of a Grothendieck pretopology on an unenriched category. Each such additive pretopology defines an additive Grothendieck topology and suffices to define…
These notes constitute a survey on the geometric properties of globally subanalytic sets. We start with their definition and some fundamental results such as Gabrielov's Complement Theorem or existence of cell decompositions. We then give…
This note is a sequel to the previous series "Tensor Track I-III". Assuming some familiarity with the tensor track approach to quantum gravity, we provide a brief introduction to the developments of the last two years and to their…
We give a short introduction to the theory of twisted Alexander polynomials of a 3--manifold associated to a representation of its fundamental group. We summarize their formal properties and we explain their relationship to twisted…
We develop new techniques in the theory of convex surfaces to prove complete classification results for tight contact structures on lens spaces, solid tori, and T^2 X I. Erratum: In this note we seek to remedy errors which appeared in…
