These are notes of a series of lectures on sieves, presented during the Special Activity in Analytic Number Theory, at the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, during the period January--June 2002.
These notes expand a four-hour lecture course given in Heidelberg in March 2023, as part of the "Spring School on non-Archimedean Geometry and Eigenvarieties". They are designed for graduate students and other learners. We introduce Huber…
This is an exposition of some recent developments related to the object in the title, particularly the combinatorial computation of the (genus 0) Gromov-Witten invariants of the flag manifold and the quadratic algebra approach. The notes…
These notes contain a survey of some aspects of the theory of graded differential algebras and of noncommutative differential calculi as well as of some applications connected with physics. They also give a description of several new…
The present notes contain the material of the lectures given by the author at the summer school on ``Modular Forms and their Applications'' at the Sophus Lie Conference Center in the summer of 2004.
We introduce the notion of a cominuscule point in a Schubert variety in a generalized flag variety for a semisimple group. We derive formulas expressing the Hilbert series and multiplicity of a Schubert variety at a cominuscule point in…
These are notes from a lecture course on symmetric spaces by the second author given at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall of 2010.
We apply the previous calculations of Chow-Witt rings of Grassmannians to develop an oriented analogue of the classical Schubert calculus. As a result, we get complete diagrammatic descriptions of the ring structure in Chow-Witt rings and…
These are expanded lecture notes from the author's minicourse at the 2022 Poisson Geometry Summer School, which took place at the Centre de Recerca Matematica in Barcelona, Spain. After giving a general introduction to wonderful varieties,…
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.
Lecture notes from the mini-course "Topics in Lorentz Geometry" taught at the University of S\~{a}o Paulo, in March/2019. The text has three parts: (i) an overall view of linear algebra in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n_\nu$, with…

We illuminate the relation between the Bruhat order on the symmetric group and structure constants (Littlewood-Richardson coefficients) for the cohomology of the flag manifold in terms of its basis of Schubert classes. Equivalently, the…
Springer fibers are subvarieties of the flag variety parametrized by partitions; they are central objects of study in geometric representation theory. Schubert varieties are subvarieties of the flag variety that induce a well-known basis…
The puzzle rules for computing Schubert calculus on $d$-step flag manifolds, proven in [Knutson Tao 2003] for $1$-step, in [Buch Kresch Purbhoo Tamvakis 2016] for $2$-step, and conjectured in [Coskun Vakil 2009] for $3$-step, lead to vector…
These are lecture notes for lectures at the Park City Math Institute, summer 2007. We cover aspects of the dimer model on planar, periodic bipartite graphs, including local statistics, limit shapes and fluctuations.
These notes are based on lectures given in Valencia in October 2008 and in Stockholm in November 2008, in the framework of the Nordita workshop "Geometrical aspects of String Theory". We introduce the notion of a metric 3-Lie algebra and…
We present a combinatorial and computational commutative algebra methodology for studying singularities of Schubert varieties of flag manifolds. We define the combinatorial notion of *interval pattern avoidance*. For "reasonable" invariants…
These lecture notes were prepared for the workshop ``Algebraic Geometry: Presentations by Young Researchers'' in Snowbird, Utah, July 2004, and for the autumn school in Lukecin, Poland, September 2004. In six lectures I attempted to present…
We propose a theory of combinatorially explicit Schubert polynomials which represent the Schubert classes in the Borel presentation of the cohomology ring of orthogonal flag varieties. We use these polynomials to describe the arithmetic…
