These are yet another lecture notes on Seiberg-Witten invariants, where no claim of originality is made, they contain a discussion of some related results from the recent literature.
An algebraic formulation of Riemannian geometry on quantum spaces is presented, where Riemannian metric, distance, Laplacian, connection, and curvature have their counterparts. This description is also extended to complex manifolds.…
These notes are based on a series of lectures given first at the University of Warwick in spring 2008 and then at the Courant Institute, Imperial College London, and EPFL. It is an attempt to give a reasonably self-contained presentation of…
This is lecture notes for a course given at the PCMI Summer School "Quantum Field Theory and Manifold Invariants" (July 1 -- July 5, 2019). I describe basics of gauge-theoretic approach to construction of invariants of manifolds. The main…
These are the lecture notes of a set of lectures delivered at the 1995 Trieste summer school in June. I review some recent work on duality in four dimensional Maxwell theory on arbitrary four manifolds, as well as a new set of topological…
We study a (relativistic) Wiener process on a complexified (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold. Using Nelson's stochastic quantization procedure, we derive three equivalent descriptions for this problem. If the process has a purely real quadratic…
This text is a support for different courses of the master of Mechanics of the University Paris-Saclay. The content of this text is an introduction, for graduate students, to tensor algebra and analysis. Far from being exhaustive, the text…
This is an extended and corrected version of lecture notes originally written for a one semester course at Leibniz University Hannover. The main aim of the notes is to give an introduction to the mathematical methods used in describing…
Over the past six years, a detailed framework has been constructed to unravel the quantum nature of the Riemannian geometry of physical space. A review of these developments is presented at a level which should be accessible to graduate…
Differentiable structure ensures that many of the basics of classical convex analysis extend naturally from Euclidean space to Riemannian manifolds. Without such structure, however, extensions are more challenging. Nonetheless, in…
Malliavin Calculus can be seen as a differential calculus on Wiener spaces. We present the notion of stochastic manifold for which the Malliavin Calculus plays the same role as the classical differential calculus for the differential…
We review the status of (scalar) quantum field theory on curved spacetimes using a novel formulation in terms of non linear functionals over the smooth configuration fields. In particular, this entails also a new foundation of locally…
A study on the notion of covariant derivatives in flat and curved space-time via It\^o-Wiener processes, when subjected to stochastic processes, is presented. Going into details, there is an analysis of the following topics: (i) Besov…
These are the lecture notes that accompanied the course of the same name that I taught at the Eindhoven University of Technology from 2021 to 2023. The course is intended as an introduction to neural networks for mathematics students at the…
This manuscript, titled Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in Three-dimensional Euclidean Space, is intended for undergraduate students of mathematics and other sciences with the need of use of Euclidean differential geometry. We…
This is the introduction and bibliography for lecture notes of a course given at the Summer School on Noncommutative Geometry and Applications, sponsored by the European Mathematical Society, at Monsaraz and Lisboa, Portugal, September…
A theory of graded manifolds can be viewed as a generalization of differential geometry of smooth manifolds. It allows one to work with functions which locally depend not only on ordinary real variables, but also on $\mathbb{Z}$-graded…
In these lecture notes, we provide an introduction to the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, a fundamental concept in the theories of 2D quantum gravity, topological string theory, and matrix models. We begin by reviewing some basic results…
In this work we study differential geometry in $N$ dimensional Riemann curved spaces using Pfaff derivatives. Avoiding the classical partial derivative the Pfaff derivatives are constructed in a more sophisticated way and make evaluations…
In this paper I present a comparison theorem for the waist of Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature. The main theorem of this paper gives a partial positive answer to a conjecture formulated by M.Gromov in [8]. The content…
