In joint work with M. Hopkins and C. Teleman we find a new description of the Verlinde algebra associated to a compact Lie group. In this expository account we describe twisted K-theory, prove the theorem for the group SU(2), and motivate…
This is a textbook about elementary number theory, with emphasis on classical topics around the Euklidean Algorithm.
This book provides an inviting tour through sheaf theory, from the perspective of applied category theory and pitched at a less specialized audience than is typical with introductions to sheaves. The book makes it as easy as possible for…
Equivariant $K$-theory is a generalized equivariant cohomology theory which is a hybrid of the $K$-theory of a topological space and the representation theory of the group acting on it. In this article, we review the basics of equivariant…
$ $[This paper is a (self contained) chapter in a new book, Mathematics and Computation, whose draft is available on my homepage at https://www.math.ias.edu/avi/book ]. We survey some concrete interaction areas between computational…
A very elementary introduction to quantum algebras is presented and a few examples of their physical applications are mentioned.
We construct a sequence of $n-1$ cyclic exact sequences that can be used to compute the $K$-theory of the $C^\star$-algebra crossed product $A \ltimes {\mathbb Z}_n$.
This book provides a self-contained introduction to geometric group theory. The topics range from an introduction of Cayley and Schreier graphs to Gromov's theorem on groups of polynomial growth and amenability. We discuss the ping-pong…
The concept of a k-translatable groupoid is introduced. Those k-translatable quadratical quasigroups induced by the additive group of integers modulo m, where k<40, are listed for m<1200. The fine structure of quadratical quasigroups is…
We use equivariant methods to establish basic properties of orbifold K-theory. We introduce the notion of twisted orbifold K-theory in the presence of discrete torsion, and show how it can be explicitly computed for global quotients.
These notes are based on lecture courses I gave to third year mathematics students at Cambridge. They could form a basis of an elementary one--term lecture course on integrable systems covering the Arnold-Liouville theorem, inverse…
This is a pedagogical article cited in the foregoing research note, quant-ph/9911050
The paper examines the construction of a course in mathematical analysis at a pedagogical university, aimed at developing the ability of future mathematics teachers to detect and solve problems related to finding proofs. Key words: teaching…
Commutative K-theory, a cohomology theory built from spaces of commuting matrices, has been explored in recent work of Adem, G\'{o}mez, Gritschacher, Lind, and Tillman. In this article, we use unstable methods to construct explicit…
These lecture notes have been converted to a book titled Network Information Theory published recently by Cambridge University Press. This book provides a significantly expanded exposition of the material in the lecture notes as well as…
We provide a framework for abstract reconstruction problems using the $K$-theory of categories with covering families, which we then apply to reformulate the edge reconstruction conjecture in graph theory. Along the way, we state some…
The goal of this expository paper is to present the basics of geometric control theory suitable for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students with a solid background in advanced calculus and ordinary differential equations.
Brief Description: The book provides a unique highly self-contained text introducing the reader to the classical and modern theory of polyanalytic functions and their generalizations. This is a subbranch of complex analysis of several…
Contribution: In this study, an alternative educational approach for introducing quantum computing to a wider audience is highlighted. The proposed methodology considers quantum computing as a generalized probability theory rather than a…
The Chern isomorphism determines the free part of the K-groups from ordinary cohomology. Thus to really understand the implications of K-theory for physics one must look at manifolds with K-torsion. Unfortunately there are not many explicit…
