We reply to Dukelsky, et al. regarding the article: L. A. Wu, M. S. Byrd and D. A. Lidar, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 057904 (2002).
We present a conceptually clear introduction to quantum theory, deriving the theory from scratch from the point of view of quantum information. Different subsets of these lectures were taught to a wide variety of audiences, including…
Quantum Poincar\'e-Weyl group in two dimensional quantum Minkowski space-time is considered and an appriopriate relativistic kinematics is investigated. It is claimed that a consistent approach to the above questions demands a kind of a…
These are introductory lecture notes on Mather's theory for Tonelli Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. They are based on a series of lectures given by the author at Universit\`a degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II" (April 2009), at…
This is the written version of my five lectures at the Banach Center mini-school on "Schubert Varieties", in Warsaw, May 18-22, 2003.
This is a chapter for the book "Understanding Quantum Phase Transitions" edited by Lincoln D. Carr (Taylor & Francis, Boca Raton, 2010)
These notes are an expanded version of lectures given at the Croatian School on Black Holes at Trpanj, June 21-25, 2010. The aim is to provide a practical introduction to quantum field theory in curved spacetime and related black hole…

These are notes from a 15 week course aimed at graduate mathematicians. They provide an essentially self-contained introduction to some of the ideas and terminology of QFT.
These notes are a transcript of Carlo Rovelli's lectures on Loop Quantum Gravity, given in Marseille in 2018, which (at present) can be entirely found on YouTube. I transcribed them in LaTeX in early 2020 as an exercise to get ready for my…
This is a survey of some aspects of the subject of approximation properties for locally compact quantum groups, based on lectures given at the {\it Topological Quantum Groups} Graduate School, 28 June - 11 July, 2015 in Bed\l{}ewo, Poland.…
This pre-print contains the abstracts of seminars (including key references) presented at the ESI workshop on mathematical problems in quantum gravity held during July and August of 1996. Contributors include A. Ashtekar, J. Baez, F.…
Orlicz-Lorentz spaces provide a common generalization of Orlicz spaces and Lorentz spaces. They have been studied by many authors, including Masty\l o, Maligranda, and Kami\'nska. In this paper, we consider the problem of comparing the…
Contrary to the opinion of J. Polchinski [Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf 66}, 397-400 (1991)], the phenomenon of superluminal messages in nonlinear versions of quantum mechanics is not a specific difficulty in a class of theories formulated by S.…
We investigate powerspace constructions on topological spaces, with a particular focus on the category of quasi-Polish spaces. We show that the upper and lower powerspaces commute on all quasi-Polish spaces, and show more generally that…
Pairs of metrics in a two-dimensional linear vector space are considered, one of which is a Minkowski type metric. Their simultaneous diagonalizability is studied and canonical presentations for them are suggested.
These are the notes from a survey talk given at Arbeitstagung 2001 covering the author's work with Lev Borisov and Sorin Popescu on toric varieties, modular forms, and equations of modular curves.
These notes offer a basic introduction to the primary mathematical concepts of quantum physics, and their physical significance, from the operator and Hilbert space point of view, highlighting more what are essentially the abstract…
In these informal lecture notes we outline different approaches used in doing calculations involving the Dirac equation in curved spacetime. We have tried to clarify the subject by carefully pointing out the various conventions used and by…
In this paper we present explicit formulas for the *-product on quantum spaces which are of particular importance in physics, i.e., the q-deformed Minkowski space and the q-deformed Euclidean space in 3 and 4 dimensions, respectively. Our…
