The paper consists of lecture notes for a mini-course given by the authors at the G\"okova Geometry \& Topology conference in May 2014. We start the exposition with tropical curves in the plane and their applications to problems in…
Primarily this paper presents an expository report on alternatives to the traditional methods of classifying representations of finite dimensional algebras. Some new results illustrating such alternatives for algebras with only finitely…
This article surveys the development of the theory of algebraic geometry codes since their discovery in the late 70's. We summarize the major results on various problems such as: asymptotic parameters, improved estimates on the minimum…
These are notes to accompany four lectures that I gave at the School on Additive Combinatorics, held in Montreal, Quebec between March 30th and April 5th 2006. My aim is to introduce ``quadratic fourier analysis'' in so far as we understand…
A bottleneck of a smooth algebraic variety $X \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ is a pair of distinct points $(x,y) \in X$ such that the Euclidean normal spaces at $x$ and $y$ contain the line spanned by $x$ and $y$. The narrowness of bottlenecks is a…
In this survey we discuss the results on the finitistic dimension of various stratified algebras. We describe what is already known, present some recent estimates, and list some open problems.
This survey of some of the more topological aspects of the placement problem for complex curves in complex surfaces was originally published in L'Enseignement Mathematique 29 (1983). The present LaTeXed redaction corrects several…
We present a list of problems in arithmetic topology posed at the June 2019 PIMS/NSF workshop on "Arithmetic Topology". Three problem sessions were hosted during the workshop in which participants proposed open questions to the audience and…
ICM lecture on minimal models and moduli of varieties.
This article provides an exposition to the topic of formal moduli problems, emphasizing its connections with differential graded Lie algebras, and mainly following from Jacob Lurie's DAG X: Formal Moduli Problems. As such, this paper should…
A variety is a category of ordered (finitary) algebras presented by inequations between terms. We characterize categories enriched over the category of posets which are equivalent to a variety. This is quite analogous to Lawvere's classical…
We present 35 open problems on combinatorial, geometric and algebraic aspects of k-orbit abstract polytopes. We also present a theory of rooted polytopes that has appeared implicitly in previous work but has not been formalized before.
In this note, we propose some open problems and questions about bounded convex domains in $\mathbb C^N$, specifically about visibility and iteration theory.
In this survey we give a brief introduction to, and review the progress made in the last decade in understanding the geometry of the moduli spaces A_g of principally polarized abelian varieties and its compactifications. Topics surveyed…
These lecture notes for the 2013 CIME/CIRM summer school Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry deal with manifestly infinite-dimensional algebraic varieties with large symmetry groups. So large, in fact, that subvarieties stable under those…
This paper surveys some applications of moduli theory to issues concerning the distribution of rational points on algebraic varieties. It will appear on the proceedings of the Fano Conference.
We study obstructed deformation problems for two-dimensional residual Galois representations arising from weight~$2$ newforms of level~$N$. Using Poitou-Tate duality, we isolate local and global sources of obstructions and give concrete…
This note is based on a lecture delivered by the author at the Second Conference on Differential Geometry, held in Fez in October 2024. It offers an accessible introduction to biharmonic and biconservative submanifolds, exploring the…

A brief survey of real algebraic structures on topological spaces is given. This article is written for the Gokova Gemetry/Topology Conference proceedings.
