These notes give an introduction to the Gabriel-Roiter measure of a finite dimensional algebra. They are based on a series of four lectures at the "Advanced School and Conference on Representation Theory and Related Topics" in Trieste…
These notes grew out of lectures given at the LMS-EPSRC Short Course on Asymptotic Methods in Infinite Group Theory, University of Oxford, 9-14 September 2007, organised by Dan Segal.
This is a slightly edited version of my talk on Mathematische Arbeitstagung 2011, Bonn. I present a result relating noncommutative Laurent polynomials with algebraic functions, and show examples of integrability and Laurent phenomenon for…
These are lecture notes on Floer and Rabinowitz-Floer homology written for a graduate course at UNICAMP August-December 2016 and a mini-course held at IMPA in August 2017.
Lecture notes for the minicourse "Holonomy Groups in Riemannian geometry", a part of the XVII Brazilian School of Geometry, to be held at UFAM (Amazonas, Brazil), in July of 2012.
Lectures given at International School of Physics ``Enrico Fermi'', Varenna, Villa Monastero, June 28-July 7 1994
These are lecture notes that arose from a representation theory course given by the first author to the remaining six authors in March 2004 within the framework of the Clay Mathematics Institute Research Academy for high school students,…
These are introductory lecture notes on Mather's theory for Tonelli Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. They are based on a series of lectures given by the author at Universit\`a degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II" (April 2009), at…
This survey is based on lectures given by the authors during the program "Noncommutative algebraic geometry and representation theory" at the MSRI, Berkeley, in the spring of 2013. It covers the recent work of the authors on noncommutative…
This contribution to the Proceedings is based on the talk given at the Conference on Birth of the Universe and Fundamental Physics, Rome, May 18-21, 1994. Some selected topics of the subject are reviewed: Models of Primordial Fluctuations;…
Free probability theory was created by Dan Voiculescu around 1985, motivated by his efforts to understand special classes of von Neumann algebras. His discovery in 1991 that also random matrices satisfy asymptotically the freeness relation…
This is the full text of a survey talk for nonspecialists, delivered at the 66th Annual Meeting of the German Physical Society in Leipzig, March 2002. We have not taken pains to suppress the colloquial style. References are given only…
Recently delivered lectures on Self-Referential Mathematics, [2], at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Pretoria, are briefly presented. Comments follow on the subject, as well as on Inconsistent…
These notes are a record of lectures given in the Workshop on Connections Between Algebra and Geometry at the University of Regina, May 29--June 1, 2012. The lectures were meant as an introduction to current research problems related to fat…
These are notes from a 15 week course aimed at graduate mathematicians. They provide an essentially self-contained introduction to some of the ideas and terminology of QFT.
We discuss an unfortunate mistake, for a Dirac free particle, in the last Fermi lecture notes on quantum mechanics, in a course given at the University of Chicago in winter and spring of 1954. As is demonstrated, the correct result can be…
Lecture notes of a course on birational geometry (taught at College de France, Winter 2011, with the support of Fondation Sciences Math\'ematiques de Paris). Topics covered: introduction into the subject, contractions and extremal rays,…
Geometric complexity theory (GCT) is an approach to the $P$ vs. $NP$ and related problems. A high level overview of this research plan and the results obtained so far was presented in a series of three lectures in the Institute of Advanced…
An article based on a four-lecture introductory minicourse on minimal surface theory given at the 2013 summer program of the Institute for Advanced Study and the Park City Mathematics Institute.
