We revisit the geometrical meaning of statistical isotropy that is manifest in excursion sets of smooth random fields in two dimensions. Using the contour Minkowski tensor, $\W_1$, as our basic tool we first examine geometrical properties…
Gravitational waves with a space-translation Killing field are considered. In this case, the 4-dimensional Einstein vacuum equations are equivalent to the 3-dimensional Einstein equations with certain matter sources. This interplay between…
We will see how to define the metric $\beta$, which turns the topological space of continuous functions whose domains are open subsets of a locally compact and second countable space $X$ to values in a polish space $Y$, called…
This lecture note surveys the gamma matrices in general dimensions with arbitrary signatures, the study of which is essential to understand the supersymmetry in the corresponding spacetime. The contents supplement the lecture presented by…
This note was written for the proceedings of the conference "Symplectic Geometry and Anosov Flows" held in Heideleberg in July 2024. It is meant as an invitation to the study of certain families of contact structures, centering around the…
In this series of lectures presented at the CIMPA Winter School on Discrete Integrable Systems in Pondicherry, India, in February, 2003 we give a review of the application of Lie point symmetries, and their generalizations to the study of…
This survey on the topology of Stein manifolds is an extract from our recent joint book. It is compiled from two short lecture series given by the first author in 2012 at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, and the Alfred Renyi…
This is a survey on the various notions of Kodaira dimension in low dimensional topology. The focus is on progress after the 2006 survey [78].
These are lecture notes mainly aimed at graduate students on selected aspects of generalized geometry: in particular generalized complex and Kaehler structures and generalized holomorphic bundles. They are based on lectures given in March…
This paper develops the geometry of locally bounded rational functions on non-singular real algebraic varieties. First various basic geometric and algebraic results regarding these functions are established in any dimension, culminating…
The space of unitary $C_{0}$-semigroups on separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space, when viewed under the topology of uniform weak convergence on compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}_{+}$, is known to admit various interesting residual…
A review of our results on the asymptotic structure of gravity at spatial infinity in four spacetime dimensions is given. Finiteness of the action and integrability of the asymptotic Lorentz boost generators are key criteria that we…
These lectures on supersymmetry and extra dimensions are aimed at finishing undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students with a background in quantum field theory and group theory. Basic knowledge in general relativity might be…
In this paper we extend the construction of the Niemytzki plane to dimension $n \geq 3$. Further, we consider a poset of topologies on the closed $n$-dimensional Euclidean half-space similar to one from \cite{AAK} which is related to the…
Bethe/Gauge correspondence as it is usually stated is ill-defined in five dimensions and needs a "non-perturbative" completion; a related problem also appears in three dimensions. It has been suggested that this problem, probably due to…
We discuss the asymptotic structure of null infinity in five dimensional space-time. Since it is known that the conformal infinity is not useful for odd higher dimensions, we shall employ the coordinate based method like the Bondi…
We present a systematic procedure to renormalize the symplectic potential of the electromagnetic field at null infinity in Minkowski space. We work in $D\geq6$ spacetime dimensions as a toy model of General Relativity in $D\geq4$…
These are notes for a five lecture series intended to uncover large-scale phenomena in the homotopy groups of spheres using the Adams-Novikov Spectral Sequence. The lectures were given in Strasbourg, May 7-11, 2007.
This is the written version of the supersymmetry lectures delivered at the 30th and 31st British Universities Summer Schools in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics (BUSSTEPP) held in Oxford in September 2000 and in Manchester in…
It is relatively easy to construct a finitely generated group with infinite asymptotic dimension: the restricted wreath product of $\mathbb{Z}$ by $\mathbb{Z}$ provides an example. In light of this, it becomes interesting to consider the…
