Let T be a split torus over local or global function field. The theory of Brylinski-Deligne gives rise to the metaplectic central extensions of T by a finite cyclic group. The representation theory of these metaplectic tori has been…

To appear in Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, published by Elsevier in early 2006. Comments/corrections welcome. The article surveys topological aspects in gauge theories.

Partial generalizations of virtual polyhedra theory (sometimes under different names) appeared recently in the theory of torus manifolds. These generalizations look very different from the original virtual polyhedra theory. They are based…

In this paper, we establish a derived Torelli Theorem for twisted abelian varieties. Starting from this, we explore the relation between derived isogenies and classical isogenies. We show that two abelian varieties of dimension $\geq 2$ are…

This is a survey article, based on the author's lectures in the 2015 Current developments in Mathematics meeting; published in "Current developments in Mathematics". Version 2, references corrected and added.

Torelli's theorem is proven by the study of the convolution product of the intersection cohomology sheaf of the thetadivisor.

We systematically study the moduli theory of symplectic varieties (in the sense of Beauville) which admit a resolution by an irreducible symplectic manifold. In particular, we prove an analog of Verbitsky's global Torelli theorem for the…

Foundational cases of the generalized Stokes' theorem are visualized using geometric algebra. From considering bivector valued fields, two seldom used instances of the theorem are obtained. Graphical representations are given, showing a…

We give a selective survey of topics in algebraic deformation theory ranging from its inception to current times. Throughout, the numerous contributions of Murray Gerstenhaber are emphasized, especially the common themes of cohomology,…

These lecture notes are written for a PhD mini-course I gave at the CIRM in Luminy in 2019. Their intended purpose was to present, in the context of smooth toric varieties, a relatively self-contained and elementary introduction to the…

This text is a survey of derived algebraic geometry. It covers a variety of general notions and results from the subject with a view on the recent developments at the interface with deformation quantization.

This paper introduces the notion of twisted toric manifolds which is a generalization of one of symplectic toric manifolds, and proves the weak Delzant type classification theorem for them. The computation methods for their fundamental…

In recent years a series of remarkable advances in tropical geometry and in non-archimedean geometry have brought new insights to the moduli theory of algebraic curves and their Jacobians. The goal of this survey, an expanded version of my…

We introduce a notion of probabilistic convexity and generalize some classical globalization theorems in Alexandrov geometry. A weighted Alexandrov's lemma is developed as a basic tool.

This article is an expository account of the theory of twisted commutative algebras, which simply put, can be thought of as a theory for handling commutative algebras with large groups of linear symmetries. Examples include the coordinate…

The global and semi-global analytic hypoellipticity on the torus is proved for two classes of sums of squares operators, introduced in "Analytic Hypoellipticity for Sums of Squares and the Treves Conjecture" by P. Albano and A. Bove and M.…

Finite simple graphs are a playground for classical areas of mathematics. We illustrate this by looking at some theorems. These are slightly enhanced preparation notes for a talk given at the joint AMS meeting of January 16, 2014 in…

I discuss gauge and global symmetries in particle physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum gravity. In a modern understanding, global symmetries are approximate and gauge symmetries may be emergent. (Based on a lecture at the April,…

This is a slightly edited version of the transparencies for a seminar at UCL, May 7, 2003. It is intended to give a quick view of background, ideas, and some calculations, in the applicatioon of some non commutative methods to algebraic…
