These are lecture notes on Floer and Rabinowitz-Floer homology written for a graduate course at UNICAMP August-December 2016 and a mini-course held at IMPA in August 2017.
This paper contains the material discussed in the series of three lectures that I gave during the workshop of the ICRA 2018 in Prague. I will introduce the reader to some of the techniques used in the study of the geometry of quiver…
We obtain an explicit crystal isomorphism between two realizations of crystal bases of finite dimensional irreducible representations of simple Lie algebras of type A and D. The first realization we consider is a geometric construction in…
n this paper I introduce a new description of the crystal $B(\Lambda_0)$ of $\hat{\mathfrak{sl}_\ell}$. As in the Misra-Miwa model of $B(\Lambda_0)$, the nodes of this crystal are indexed by partitions and the $i$-arrows correspond to…
Lecture notes of a course on birational geometry (taught at College de France, Winter 2011, with the support of Fondation Sciences Math\'ematiques de Paris). Topics covered: introduction into the subject, contractions and extremal rays,…
This is a set of expository lecture notes created originally for a graduate course on holomorphic curves taught at ETH Zurich and the Humboldt University Berlin in 2009/2010. The notes are still incomplete, but due to recent requests from…
This report is a combined version of two talks presented by the authors at the Edinburgh $b$-physics Workshop, December 1991. It presents the ideas of heavy quark symmetry and gives an introduction to some applications. The references…
In three articles published in CNJ in 2012 and 2016 , we discussed some links between mathematical sciences, coin minting and numismatics. This article is a continuation of this cycle. It tells the story of selected important developments…
We define geometric/unipotent crystal structure on unipotent subgroups of semi-simple algebraic groups. We shall show that in $A_n$-case, their ultra-discretizations coincide with crystals obtained by generalizing Young tableaux.
These are notes from the mini-course given by W. Schmid in June 2003 in the Brussels PQR2003 Euroschool.
We present explicit descriptions of the crystals $\mathcal{B}(\infty)$ and $\mathcal{B}(\lambda)$ over special linear Lie algebras in the language of \emph{extended Nakajima monomials}. There is a natural correspondence between the monomial…
These are notes based on a series of talks that the author gave at the "Interactions between hyperbolic geometry and quantum groups" conference held at Columbia University in June of 2009.
This is an extended version of a talk on October 4, 2004 at the research seminar ``Differential geometry and applications'' (headed by Academician A. T. Fomenko) at Moscow State University. The paper contains an overview of available (but…
We describe an explicit crystal morphism between Nakajima monomials and monomials which give a realization of crystal bases for finite dimensional irreducible modules over the quantized enveloping algebra for Lie algebras of type A and C.…
Let B(\infty) be the crystal corresponding to the nilpotent part of a quantized Kac-Moody algebra. We suggest a general way to represent B(\infty) as the set of integer solutions of a system of linear inequalities. As an application, we…
This is an expository article on the techniques of quantization as they are applied to Gromov-Witten theory and related areas.
Rewriting methods have been developed for the study of coherence for algebraic objects. This consists in starting with a convergent presentation, and expliciting a family of generating confluences to obtain a coherent presentation -- one…
We develop a combinatorial model of networks on orientable surfaces, and study weight and homology generating functions of paths and cycles in these networks. Network transformations preserving these generating functions are investigated.…
Lecture notes on selected topics in the theory of gravitation.
This is an expanded version of the notes for the two lectures at the 2004 International Mathematics Conference (Chonbuk National University, August 4-6, 2004). The first lecture discusses the origins of cluster algebras, with the focus on…
