These notes are loosely based on an introductory course in algebraic geometry given at Rutgers University in Spring of 2024. We introduce some relatively advanced topics at the expense of the technical details.
This is the written version of a short talk given at the University of Leipzig in December 1998. It reviews some general aspects of string theory from the viewpoint of the search for an unifying theory. Here, special emphasis lies on the…
We study the linear periods on $GL_{2n}$ twisted by a character using a new relative trace formula. We establish the relative fundamental lemma and the transfer of orbital integrals. Together with the spectral isolation technique of…
Summary talk at the Lepton-Photon Symposium, Cornell University, Aug. 10-15, 1993.
An edited version is given of the text of G\"odel's unpublished manuscript of the notes for a course in basic logic he delivered at the University of Notre Dame in 1939. G\"odel's notes deal with what is today considered as important…
These are notes of a graduate course on representations of non-compact semisimple Lie groups given by the author at MIT.
These are the lecture notes for the introductory graduate course I taught at Yale during Spring 2007. I mostly followed [GS], [BGV], [AB], [Par2], and there are no original results in these notes.
In this article, we develop an arithmetic analogue of Fourier--Jacobi period integrals for a pair of unitary groups of equal rank. We construct the so-called Fourier--Jacobi cycles, which are algebraic cycles on the product of unitary…
This note is an expansion of three lectures given at the workshop "Topology, Complex Analysis and Arithmetic of Hyperbolic Spaces" held at Kyoto University in December of 2006 and will appear in the proceedings for this workshop.
Over the past decades, a great body of theoretical and mathematical work has been devoted to random-matrix descriptions of open quantum systems. In these notes, based on lectures delivered at the Les Houches Summer School "Stochastic…
These notes are a written version of a set of lectures given at TASI-02 on the topic of effective field theories. They are meant as an introduction to some of the latest techniques and applications in the field.
Timely feedback is an important part of teaching and learning. Here we describe how a readily available neural network transformer (machine-learning) model (BERT) can be used to give feedback on the structure of the response to an…
These are the expanded and detailed notes of the lectures given by the authors during the school and workshop entitled "Liaison and Related Topics," held at the Politecnico di Torino during the period October 1-5, 2001. In these notes we…
In this note, we derive a relative trace formula (RTF) using classical methods. We obtain a closed formula for the second moment of the central values of holomorphic cusp forms, a result originally established in Kuznetsov's preprint.
We express the discrete noncuspidal terms in the spectral side of the trace formula for GL(2) in terms of orbital integrals, obtaining a geometric expansion for the cuspidal part of the trace formula. Assuming the Ramanujan conjecture for…
These lecture notes are meant to serve as an introduction to some geometric constructions and techniques (in particular the ones of toric geometry) often employed by the physicist working on string theory compactifications. The emphasis is…
Let $G$ be a connected quasi-split reductive group over $\mathbb{R}$, and more generally, a quasi-split $K$-group over $\mathbb{R}$. Arthur had obtained the formal formula for the spectral side of the stable local trace formula, by using…
For the group G=PGL_2 we perform a comparison between two relative trace formulas: on one hand, the relative trace formula of Jacquet for the quotient T\backslash G/T, where T is a non-trivial torus, and on the other the Kuznetsov trace…
Lectures given at the Trieste Summer School, 1992. These notes are an update of my review article "Classical and Quantum W-Gravity", preprint QMW-92-1, published in in "Strings and Symmetries 1991", with some extra material on W-geometry,…
These notes expand a four-hour lecture course given in Heidelberg in March 2023, as part of the "Spring School on non-Archimedean Geometry and Eigenvarieties". They are designed for graduate students and other learners. We introduce Huber…
