In these self-contained low prerequisite introductory notes we first present (in part 1) basic concepts of set theory and algebra without explicit category theory. We then present (in part 2) basic category theory involving a somewhat…
This set of notes re-proves known results on weighted automata (over a field, also known as multiplicity automata). The text offers a unified view on theorems and proofs that have appeared in the literature over decades and were written in…
These notes are loosely based on an introductory course in algebraic geometry given at Rutgers University in Spring of 2024. We introduce some relatively advanced topics at the expense of the technical details.
These lecture notes for the IAS/Park City Graduate Summer School in Geometric Combinatorics (July 2004) provide an overview of poset topology. These notes include introductory material, as well as recent developments and open problems. Some…
These are Notes prepared for nine lectures given at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, MSRI, Berkeley during the period January--March 1995. It is a pleasant duty to record here my gratitude to MSRI, and its staff, for making…
In this notebook, I present duality theory (or theories) of abelian groups with some categorical and categorical topological flavour. I consider writing this notebook as a longer-term project, and its current content and presentation is…
The purpose of this paper is to study deformation theory of Hom-associative algebra morphisms and Hom-Lie algebra morphisms. We introduce a suitable cohomology and discuss Infinitesimal deformations, equivalent deformations and…
First three sections of this overview paper cover classical topics of deformation theory of associative algebras and necessary background material. We then analyze algebraic structures of the Hochschild cohomology and describe the relation…
It is the goal of this article to extend the notion of quantization from the standard interpretation focused on non-commuting observables defined starting from classical analogues, to the topological equivalents defined in terms of…
We give a detailed proof of T. Willwacher's theorem arXiv:1009.1654 which links the cohomology of the full graph complex fGC to the cohomology of the deformation complex of the operad GER, governing Gerstenhaber algebras. We also present…
This paper is a continuation of ``Operads, Grothendieck topologies and deformation theory'' (alg-geom/9502010). We show how to develop a cohomology theory that would control deformations of a sheaf of associative algebras over a scheme by…
These are lectures notes for the introductory graduate courses on geometric complexity theory (GCT) in the computer science department, the university of Chicago. Part I consists of the lecture notes for the course given by the first author…
The study of $n$-Lie algebras which are natural generalization of Lie algebras is motivated by Nambu Mechanics and recent developments in String Theory and M-branes. The purpose of this paper is to define cohomology complexes and study…
These notes form an extended version of a minicourse delivered in Universite de Montreal (June 2002) within the framework of a NATO workshop ``Normal Forms, Bifurcations and Finiteness Problems in Differential Equations''. The focus is on…
These are significantly expanded lecture notes for the author's minicourse at MSRI in June 2012, as published in the MSRI lecture note series, with some minor additional corrections. In these notes, we give an example-motivated review of…
We review the open problems in the theory of deformations of zero-dimensional objects, such as algebras, modules or tensors. We list both the well-known ones and some new ones that emerge from applications. In view of many advances in…
These notes provide an explanation of the type classification of von Neumann algebras, which has made many appearances in recent work on entanglement in quantum field theory and quantum gravity. The goal is to bridge a gap in the literature…
We review work on `decomposition,' a property of two-dimensional theories with 1-form symmetries and, more generally, d-dimensional theories with (d-1)-form symmetries. Decomposition is the observation that such quantum field theories are…
These notes are based on three lectures given by the first author as part of an introductory workshop at MSRI for the program in Commutative Algebra, 2012-13. The notes follow the talks, but there are extra comments and explanations, as…
We analyze behaviors of generalized forgetful and Daletskii-Takhtajan's functors on perfect objects and crossed modules of Leibniz $n$-algebras. Then we give applications to homology and universal central extensions of Leibniz $n$-algebras.
