We introduce a general class of Heisenberg groups motivated by applications of algebraic Fourier theory. Basic properties are examined from a homological perspective.

An informal guide to the history of Heisenberg's matrix mechanics. It is designed for mathematicians with only a minimal background in either physics or geometry, and it is based upon Heisenberg's original arguments.

Some very elementary ideas about quantum groups and quantum algebras are introduced and a few examples of their physical applications are mentioned.

We give a brief introduction to the notion of an 'approximate group' and some of its numerous applications.

This is a very short introduction to hierarchically hyperbolic spaces and groups. It is aimed at non-experts, including anyone who may encounter a group with some similarities to mapping class groups.
