We study vertex algebras and their modules associated with possibly degenerate even lattices, using an approach somewhat different from others. Several known results are recovered and a number of new results are obtained. We also study…
Two lectures given at the UK-Japan Winter School on 'Geometry and Analysis Towards Quantum Theory', Durham, January 2004.
A rigid isotopy of real algebraic curves of a certain class is a path in the space of curves of this class. The paper's study completes the rigid isotopic classification of nonsingular real algebraic curves of bidegree (4,3) on a…
Based on Burnside's parametrization of the algebraic curve $y^2=x^5-x$ we provide remaining attributes of its uniformization: Fuchsian equations and their solutions, accessory parameters, monodromies, conformal maps, fundamental polygons,…
This is an expanded version of my talk given at the workshop "Hot Topics: Thin Groups and Super-strong Approximation" (MSRI, Berkeley, February 6-10, 2012).
This paper is based on the author's talk at the Grothendieck conference at Chapman university on 26-05-2022. It is not a survey of anabelian geometry but rather exposes some of the personal views and experiences of the author with the…
We employ two-dimensional chiral algebra techniques to produce solutions of certain differential and integral equations which occur in the context of the Analytic Geometric Langlands Program.
These are course notes I wrote for my Fall 2013 graduate topics course on geometric structures, taught at ICERM. The notes rework many of proofs in William P. Thurston's beautiful but hard-to-understand paper, "Shapes of Polyhedra". A…
We have recently show that Poincare series of Hyperbolic Lie algebras have the form of a ratio between Poincare series of a chosen finite Lie algebra and a polynomial of finite degree. By the aid of some properly chosen examples, we now…
Lecture notes from the mini-course "Topics in Lorentz Geometry" taught at the University of S\~{a}o Paulo, in March/2019. The text has three parts: (i) an overall view of linear algebra in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n_\nu$, with…
These are the notes for my 2017 Takagi lectures on DT counts of curves in algebraic threefolds. We discuss the fundamentals of the subject, its origins, open questions, and certain recent advances.
This is a (mostly expository) paper on Reidemeister classes, twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory, congruences, R-infinity property and all that. It was written in 2005 and published in 2008. We post it as it was, only the bibliography data is…
We present a construction of vertex algebra bundles and spaces of conformal blocks over families of logarithmic smooth curves. This work generalizes some earlier results by Frenkel and Ben-Zvi on vertex algebra bundles over complex smooth…
This is the second part of the revised versions of the notes of three consecutive expository lectures given by Chongying Dong, Haisheng Li and Yi-Zhi Huang in the conference on Monster and vertex operator algebras at the Research Institute…
Dirac proved that each $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph with minimum degree at least $k$ contains a cycle of length at least $\min\{2k, n\}$. We consider a hypergraph version of this result. A Berge cycle in a hypergraph is an alternating…
In this lecture we give a brief introduction to Weierstrass points of curves and computational aspects of $q$-Weierstrass points on superelliptic curves.
This is an expanded version of my Shaw Prize Lecture delivered at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
We change the definition of the vertex representations. As a result the vertex representations has one parameter.
Mostly aimed at an audience with backgrounds in geometry and homological algebra, these notes offer an introduction to derived geometry based on a lecture course given by the second author. The focus is on derived algebraic geometry, mainly…
This article accompanies my June 1998 seminaire Bourbaki talk on Givental's work. After a quick review of descendent integrals in Gromov-Witten theory, I discuss Givental's formalism relating hypergeometric series to solutions of quantum…
