These are notes of my lectures held at the first School & Workshop on Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory and its Applications, September 2001 in Tehran, Iran. These notes cover only selected parts of the by now quite extensive knowledge on…
In the talk at the workshop my aim was to demonstrate the usefulness of graph techniques for tackling problems that have been studied predominantly as problems on the term level: increasing sharing in functional programs, and addressing…
Over 50 years of work on group actions on $4$-manifolds, from the 1960's to the present, from knotted fixed point sets to Seiberg-Witten invariants, is surveyed. Locally linear actions are emphasized, but differentiable and purely…
These lecture notes consist of an introduction to moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, with a strong emphasis placed on examples related to the theory of quiver representations. The goal is to provide the background necessary to understand…
The conference Unexpected Phenomena in Energy Minimization and Polarization, held in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2024, provided a platform for researchers to discuss and propose challenging open questions across various fields, such as potential…
These notes are an expanded version of the author's lectures at the graduate workshop "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in June 2012. The main topics discussed are Artin-Schelter regular…
The development of computational techniques in the last decade has made possible to attack some classical problems of algebraic geometry. In this survey, we briefly describe some open problems related to algebraic curves which can be…
This paper presents fifteen problems about mapping class groups. It is an expanded and updated version of the author's preprint "Ten problems on the mapping class groups". The paper will appear in the book "Problems on Mapping Class Groups…
This text proposes geometrical descriptions of all variational problems invariant by conformal transformations in two variables. First a characterisation in terms of C-Finsler manifolds, a suitable generalization of Finsler manifolds, is…
This is a condensed write-up of a talk delivered at the Ramanujan International Symposium on Kac-Moody Lie algebras and Applications in Chennai in January 2002. The talk introduces special coideal subalgebras of quantum affine algebras…
In this report I will give a summary of some of the main topics covered in Session A3, mathematical studies of the field equations, at GRG18, Sydney. Unfortunately, due to length constraints, some of the topics covered at the session will…
Motivated by a theorem of Groves and Wilton, we propose the study of the lattice of numberings of isomorphism classes of marked groups as a rigorous and comprehensive framework to study global decision problems for finitely generated…
This is a survey of M-regularity for coherent sheaves on abelian varieties and its applications, based on lectures given by the second author at the Seattle conference, in August 2005, and at the Luminy GAC workshop in October 2005. Section…
This paper is for the proceedings of the Chen-Chow Conference held in Tianjin, China in October 2000. The goal of the paper is to produce and survey evidence for a connection between Chen's work on iterated integrals on the one hand, and…
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,…
This paper is an attempt to survey the current state of our knowledge on the Caccetta-Haggkvist conjecture and related questions. In January 2006 there was a workshop hosted by the American Institute of Mathematics in Palo Alto, on the…
We present detailed summaries of the talks that were given during a week-long workshop on Arithmetic Groups at the Banff International Research Station in April 2013. The vast majority of these reports are based on abstracts that were…
This note is a survey of the enumerative geometry of rational curves on Calabi-Yau threefolds, based on a talk given by the author at the May 1991 Workshop on Mirror Symmetry at MSRI. An earlier version appeared in "Essays on Mirror…
We provide a survey of past research and a list of open problems regarding central simple algebras and the Brauer group over a field, intended both for experts and for beginners.
This is an informal discussion on one of the basic problems in the theory of empirical processes, addressed in our preprint "Combinatorics of random processes and sections of convex bodies", which is available at ArXiV and from our web…
