Work in progress concerning alternative formalizations of arithmetic.
These notes represent approximately one semester's worth of lectures on introductory general relativity for beginning graduate students in physics. Topics include manifolds, Riemannian geometry, Einstein's equations, and three applications:…
These informal notes are based on the author's lecture at the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics workshop on "AI to Assist Mathematical Reasoning" in June 2023. The goal is to think through a path by which we might…
This is the draft of lecture notes for Phd students in Sichuan University. In this notes we expand Li-Ruan's paper with much more detailed explanations and calculations.
In this note some philosophical thoughts and observations about mathematics are expressed, arranged as challenges to some common claims.
The purpose of these notes is to collect in one place some facts on the category of finite totally ordered sets and some related categories. More specifically, we collect some results on them which will be useful for the study of iteratedly…
These lecture notes are an expanded write-up of my short lecture series "Noncommutative Resolutions" given to the MSRI Graduate Student Workshop "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" during June 2012. The notes include five chapters, an…
Some very elementary ideas about quantum groups and quantum algebras are introduced and a few examples of their physical applications are mentioned.
These lecture notes aim to provide a clear and comprehensive introduction to using open quantum system theory for quantum algorithms. The main arguments are Variational Quantum Algorithms, Quantum Error Correction, Dynamical Decoupling and…
A calculator program has been written to give confidence intervals on branching ratios for rare decay modes (or similar quantities) calculated from the number of events observed, the acceptance factor, the background estimate and the…
The number of research papers written has been growing at least linearly -- if not exponentially -- in recent years. In proportion, the amount of time a reader allocates per paper has been decreasing. While an accessible paper will be…
This lecture addresses some general ideas behind numerical computations ranging from representation of numbers in computers to stability and accuracy of standard algorithms for some simple mathematical problems.
Lectures notes in universal algebraic geometry for beginners
The purpose of this note is to raise two different questions, which are rarely if ever considered, and to which, it seems, we lack convincing, systematic answers. These questions can be posed as: - Why do we compute? - What do we compute?…
Though recent technological advances have enabled note-taking through different modalities (e.g., keyboard, digital ink, voice), there is still a lack of understanding of the effect of the modality choice on learning. In this paper, we…
This short note contains elementary evaluations of some Euler sums.
These are expanded notes from lectures given at the \'{E}tats de la Recherche workshop on "Derived algebraic geometry and interactions". These notes serve as an introduction to the emerging theory of Poisson structures on derived stacks.
This is the first of the proposed sets of notes to be published in the website Gonit Sora (http://gonitsora.com). The notes will hopefully be able to help the students to learn their subject in an easy and comprehensible way. These notes…
These are notes from an informal mini-course on factorization homology, infinity-categories, and topological field theories. The target audience was imagined to be graduate students who are not homotopy theorists.
In experimental physics, lab notebooks play an essential role in the research process. For all of the ubiquity of lab notebooks, little formal attention has been paid to addressing what is considered `best practice' for scientific…
