This note is an expository account of the theory of staggered sheaves, based on a series of lectures given by the author at RIMS (Kyoto) in October 2008.
The purpose of these notes is to collect in one place some facts on the category of finite totally ordered sets and some related categories. More specifically, we collect some results on them which will be useful for the study of iteratedly…
In this paper we discuss various philosophical aspects of the hyperstructure concept extending networks and higher categories. By this discussion we hope to pave the way for applications and further developments of the mathematical theory…
We provide an account of the construction of the moduli stack of elliptic curves as an analytic orbifold. While intimately linked to Thurston's point of view on the subject (discrete groups acting properly and effectively on differentiable…
The present text is a collection of notes about differential geometry prepared to some extent as part of tutorials about topics and applications related to tensor calculus. They can be regarded as continuation to the previous notes on…
We prove some basic results on the dimension theory of algebraic stacks, and on the multiplicities of their irreducible components, for which we do not know a reference.
In this note I introduce a new approach to (or rather a new language for) representation theory of groups. Namely, I propose to consider a (complex) representation of a group $G$ as a sheaf on some geometric object (a stack). This point of…
In these expository notes we draw together and develop the ideas behind some recent progress in two directions: the treatment of finite type partial differential operators by prolongation, and a class of differential complexes known as…
Several possible presentations for the homotopy theory of (non-hypercomplete) $\infty$-stacks on a classical site S are discussed. In particular, it is shown that an elegant combinatorial description in terms of diagrams in S exists,…
The goal of this article is to invite the reader to get to know and to get involved into higher Teichm\"uller theory by describing some of its many facets.
The development of mathematics has been characterized by the increasing interconnectivity of seemingly separate disciplines. Such interplay has been facilitated by a massive development in formalism; category theory has provided a common…
These lecture notes are a personal introduction to signed graphs, concentrating on the aspects that have been most persistently interesting to me. They are just a few corners of signed graph theory; I am leaving out a great deal. The…
This is the first paper in a series of eight where in the first three we develop a systematic approach to the geometric algebras of multivectors and extensors, followed by five papers where those algebraic concepts are used in a novel…

The aim of this article is to develop the theory of motivic integration over Deligne-Mumford stacks and to apply it to the birational geometry of stacks.
The purpose of this informal article is to introduce the reader to some of the objects and methods of the theory of p-adic representations. My hope is that students and mathematicians who are new to the subject will find it useful as a…
These lecture notes for the IAS/Park City Graduate Summer School in Geometric Combinatorics (July 2004) provide an overview of poset topology. These notes include introductory material, as well as recent developments and open problems. Some…
In this paper, we develop several techniques for computing the higher G-theory and K-theory of quotient stacks. Our main results for computing these groups are in terms of spectral sequences. We show that these spectral sequences degenerate…
The past decade has witnessed two important new developments in the study of linear series on algebraic varieties. First, vector bundles have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing linear series on curves and surfaces. More recently, the…
We survey several recent examples of derived structures emerging in connection with the Langlands correspondence. Cases studies include derived Galois deformation rings, derived Hecke algebras, derived Hitchin stacks, and derived special…
