This is a set of lecture notes that developed out of courses on the lambda calculus that I taught at the University of Ottawa in 2001 and at Dalhousie University in 2007 and 2013. Topics covered in these notes include the untyped lambda…
I present a method of quantization using cohomology groups extended via coefficient groups of different types. This is possible according to the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT). I also show that by using this method new features of…
This is an expository paper on the subject of the title. It assumes basic scheme theory, commutative and homological algebra.
These notes are an expanded version of an introductory lecture on contact geometry given at the 2001 Georgia Topology Conference. They are intended to present some of the "topological" aspects of three dimensional contact geometry.
This paper presents a preliminary version of the deformation theory of expressions of elements of algebras. The notion of *-functions is given. Several important problems appear in simplified forms, and these give an intuitive bird's-eye of…
In this paper, deformations of $L_\infty$-algebras are defined in such a way that the bases of deformations are $L_\infty$-algebras, as well. A universal and a semiuniversal deformation is constructed for $L_\infty$-algebras, whose…
These are lecture notes from the Clay Mathematics Institute summer school ``Floer Homology, Gauge Theory, and Low Dimensional Topology'' Alfred Renyi Institute; www.claymath.org/programs/summer_school/2004/. The main goal of these notes is…
These are the lecture notes of a 2-hour mini-course on Lie groups over local fields presented at the "Workshop on Totally Disconnected Groups, Graphs and Geometry" at the Heinrich-Fabri-Institut Blaubeuren in May 2007. The goal of the notes…
This survey provides an elementary introduction to operads and to their applications in homotopical algebra. The aim is to explain how the notion of an operad was prompted by the necessity to have an algebraic object which encodes higher…
These informal notes are concerned with spaces of functions in various situations, including continuous functions on topological spaces, holomorphic functions of one or more complex variables, and so on.
These are expanded and revised notes for a minicourse entitled "Affine W-algebras", which took place as part of the thematic month "Quantum Symmetries" at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques in Montreal, Canada in October 2022. The first…
This is an introduction to Grothendieck's descent theory, with some stress on the general machinery of fibered categories and stacks.
These notes, based on a graduate course I gave at Hamburg University in 2003, are intended to students having basic knowledges of differential geometry. Their main purpose is to provide a quick and accessible introduction to different…
The goal of this note is to describe a class of formal deformations of a symplectic manifold $M$ in the case when the base ring of the deformation problem involves parameters of non-positive degrees. The interesting feature of such…
These are expanded notes of author's talk at the ECM 2008 attempting to give an elementary introduction into the main ideas of the theory of wheeled props for beginners, and also a survey of its most recent major applications (ranging from…
These are notes on de Jong's proof of the period=index theorem over fields of transcendence degree two. They are actually about the simplified proof sketched by de Jong in the last section of his paper. These notes were meant as support for…
The purpose of this paper is to study global deformations of Hom-Leibniz algebras. We introduce a cohomology for Hom-Leibniz algebras with values in a Hom-module, characterize versal deformations and provide examples.
Lectures notes in universal algebraic geometry for beginners
Various connections between the theory of permutation groups and the theory of topological groups are described. These connections are applied in permutation group theory and in the structure theory of topological groups. The first draft of…
A little general abstract combinatorial nonsense delivered in this note is a presentation of some old and basic concepts, central to discrete mathematics, in terms of new words. The treatment is from a structural and systematic point of…
