The aim of this short lecture series is to expose the students to the beautiful theory of lattices by, on one hand, demonstrating various basic ideas that appear in this theory and, on the other hand, formulating some of the celebrated…
This paper is based on three hours of lectures given by the first author in the "Focus Program on Analytic Function Spaces and their Applications" July 1 -- December 31, 2021, organized by the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical…
In this lectures various methods which give a possibility to extend an area of applicability of perturbation series and hence to omit their local character are analysed. While applying asymptotic methods as a rule the following situation…
These lecture notes provide an informal introduction to the theory of nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares. We highlight the history and some recent developments, especially the new connections with classical (complex) algebraic…
In this paper, we relate the notions of remote almost periodicity and quasi-asymptotical almost periodicity; in actual fact, we observe that a remotely almost periodic function is nothing else but a bounded, uniformly continuous…

The raking-ratio method is a statistical and computational method which adjusts the empirical measure to match the true probability of sets of a finite partition. We study the asymptotic behavior of the raking-ratio empirical process…
An analytical method is advanced for constructing interpolation formulae for complicated problems of statistical mechanics, in which just a few terms of asymptotic expansions are available. The method is based on the self-similar…
We present a solution of the problem of multiplication of Schwartz distributions by embedding the space of distributions into a differential algebra of generalized functions, called in the paper ``asymptotic function'', similar to but…
We explain the notion of the {\em entropy} of a discrete random variable, and derive some of its basic properties. We then show through examples how entropy can be useful as a combinatorial enumeration tool. We end with a few open…
Let m be a positive integer, and let A be the set of all positive integers that belong to a union of r distinct congruence classes modulo m. We assume that the elements of A are relatively prime, that is, gcd(A) = 1. Let p_A(n) denote the…
Here we examine the number of ways to partition an integer $n$ into $k$th powers when $n$ is large. Simplified proofs of some asymptotic results of Wright are given using the saddle-point method, including exact formulas for the expansion…
This article is an introduction to newly discovered relations between volumes of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces or super Riemann surfaces, simple models of gravity or supergravity in two dimensions, and random matrix ensembles. (The…
We study various asymptotic approximations of Good's special functions arising in atomic physics. These special functions are situated beyond Anger's functions to which they are closely related. Our major tool is the method of the…
Various aspects including the construction and the symmetries of Abelian Chern-Simons vortices are reviewed. Extended version of the Lectures delivered at NIKHEF (Amsterdam), July 2006. Typos corrected, some refernces added.
These expository lectures focus on the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function. The topics include the prime number theorem, the Riemann hypothesis, mean value theorems, and random matrix models.

These lectures are a brief introduction to supersymmetry.
The main aim of this paper is twofold: (1) Suggesting a statistical mechanical approach to the calculation of the generating function of restricted integer partition functions which count the number of partitions --- a way of writing an…
Some aspects of asymptotic freedom are discussed in the context of a simple two-particle non-relativisitic confining potential model. In this model asymptotic freedom follows from the similarity of the free-particle and bound state radial…
