In the mid sixties, A. Grothendieck envisioned a vast generalization of Galois theory to systems of polynomials in several variables, motivic Galois theory, and introduced tannakian categories on this occasion. In characteristic zero,…
The main goal of these notes, compiled in 2008-2009, is to present a more-or-less self-contained discussion of some of the recent results and techniques of R. Berman and S. Boucksom in the setting of weighted pluripotential theory. We…
This article is part of a series of works by the authors with the goal of completing a far-reaching program propounded by Deligne, aiming to extend the codimension one part of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem from isomorphism classes…
Trace maps of two-letter substitution rules are investigated with special emphasis on the underlying algebraic structure and on the existence of invariants. We illustrate the results with the generalized Fibonacci chains and show that the…
The theory of bi-Hamiltonian systems has its roots in what is commonly referred to as the "Lenard recursion formula". The story about the discovery of the formula told by Andrew Lenard is the subject of this article.
In a recent paper A.Beardon and I.Short proposed to use chains of tangent horocycles as an extended tool describing continued fractions. We review the origin of such construction from the Moebius transformations point of view. Related…
Henri Poincare's work on mathematical features of the Lorentz transformations was an important precursor to the development of special relativity. In this paper I compare the approaches taken by Poincare and Einstein, aiming to come to an…
For a given arithmetic scheme, in this paper we will introduce and discuss the monodromy action on a universal cover of the \'etale fundamental group and the monodromy action on an \emph{sp}-completion constructed by the graph functor,…
This paper reviews a paper from 1906 by J. Henri Poincar\'e on statistical mechanics with a background in his earlier work and notable connections to J. Willard Gibbs. Poincar\'e's paper presents important ideas that are still relevant for…
Let $k$ be a field that is finitely generated over its prime field. In Grothendieck's anabelian letter to Faltings, he conjectured that sending a $k$-scheme to its \'{e}tale topos defines a fully faithful functor from the localization of…
A few recollections and afterthoughts on the development of the string picture of fundamental interactions out of the S-matrix program.
This is a survey of some problems in geometric group theory which I find interesting. The problems are from different areas of group theory. Each section is devoted to problems in one area. It contains an introduction where I give some…
The purpose of the present paper is to make a mathematical study of the differences and relations among possible structures inherent in an object, as well as of the whole structure constituted by them (i.e., the structure of structures),…
The pentagram map, introduced by R. Schwartz, is defined by the following construction: given a polygon as input, draw all of its "shortest" diagonals, and output the smaller polygon which they cut out. We employ the machinery of cluster…
We give a combinatorial description of closed curves on oriented surfaces in terms of certain permutations, called charts. We describe automorphisms of curves in terms of charts and compute the total number of curves counted with…
We discuss the notion of a power structure over a ring and the geometric description of the power structure over the Grothendieck ring of complex quasi-projective varieties and show some examples of applications to generating series of…
A generalization of topos theory is proposed giving an abstract realization of such categories as, say, the categories of manifolds and of Grothendieck schemes on the one hand, and permitting one, on the other hand, a view on…
This is a survey report for the Bourbaki Seminar (Exp. no. 1028, November 2010) concerning sieve and expanders, in particular the recent works of Bourgain, Gamburd and Sarnak introducing "sieve in orbits", and the related developments…
Following a formula found in the paper of Avramov, Iyengar, Lipman, and Nayak (2010) and ideas of Neeman and Khusyairi, we indicate that Grothendieck duality for finite tor-amplitude maps can be developed from scratch via the formula $f^!…
The implications of the original misunderstanding of the etymology of the word "ergodic" are discussed, and the contents of a not too well known paper by Boltzmann are critically examined. The connection with the modern theory of Ruelle is…
