These notes contain a survey of some aspects of the theory of graded differential algebras and of noncommutative differential calculi as well as of some applications connected with physics. They also give a description of several new…
The aim of this paper is to give upper bounds for the Euclidean minima of abelian fields of odd prime conductor. In particular, these bounds imply Minkowski's conjecture for totally real number fields of conductor p^r, where p is an odd…
Structures in low-dimensional topology and low-dimensional geometry -- often combined with ideas from (quantum) field theory -- can explain and inspire concepts in algebra and in representation theory and their categorified versions. We…
In this paper we present a variant of the well known Skorokhod Representation Theorem. In our main result, given $S$ a Polish space, to a given continous path $\alpha$ in the space of probability measures on $S$, we associate a continuous…
In this article, we discuss and survey the recent progress towards the Schottky problem, and make some comments on the relations between the Andr{\'e}-Oort conjecture, Okounkov convex bodies, Coleman's conjecture, stable modular forms,…
This paper but section 6 is essentially my lecture at The Eighth Congress of Romanian Mathematicians, June 26 - July 1, 2015, Iasi, Romania. The paper summarizes the definitions and the properties of the invariants associated to a real or…
I review some recent work where ideas and methods from Quantum Field Theory have proved useful in probability and vice versa. The topics discussed include the use of Renormalization Group theory in Stochastic Partial Differential Equations…
We describe the (equivariant) intersection cohomology of certain moduli spaces ("framed Uhlenbeck spaces") together with some structures on them (such as e.g.\ the Poincar\'e pairing) in terms of representation theory of some vertex…
It is a review of some results in Odd symplectic geometry related to the Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism
An overview of the accomplishments of constructive quantum field theory is provided.
In a companion article we have introduced a notion of multiscale functional inequalities for functions $X(A)$ of an ergodic stationary random field $A$ on the ambient space $\mathbb R^d$. These inequalities are multiscale weighted versions…
We establish an arithmetic intersection theory in the framework of Arakelov geometry over adelic curves. To each projective scheme over an adelic curve, we associate a multi-homogenous form on the group of adelic Cartier divisors, which can…
As an alternative to the well-known methods of "chaining" and "bracketing" that have been developed in the study of random fields, a new method, which is based on a stochastic maximal inequality derived by using It\^o's formula and on a new…
This is an introduction to the basic ideas and to a few further selected topics in conformal quantum field theory and in the theory of Kac-Moody algebras.
A degree of a module $M$ is a numerical measure of information carried by $M$. We highlight some of Vasconcelos' outstanding contributions to the theory of degrees, bridging commutative algebra and computational algebra. We present several…
An overview is given of the various expansions of fields and fusions of strongly minimal sets obtained by means of Hrushovski's amalgamation method, as well as a characterization of the groups definable in these structures.
PhD Thesis under the supervision of Professor Nedyalko Nenov.
This paper gives an overview of Fred Cohen's work and is a summary of the talk which I gave during his 60th birthday conference, held at the University of Tokyo in July 2005.
This is an expanded version of my Shaw Prize Lecture delivered at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
The axiomatic foundation of probability theory presented by Kolmogorov has been the basis of modern theory for probability and statistics. In certain applications it is, however, necessary or convenient to allow improper (unbounded)…
