We study some aspects of the geometric side of the Jacquet-Rallis relative trace formula. Globally, we compute each geometric term of the Jacquet-Rallis relative trace formula on the general linear group for regular supported test…
These are notes for my Takagi lecture at the University of Tokyo in November, 2016. I survey what is known about simple modules for reductive algebraic groups. The emphasis is on characteristic p>0 and Lusztig's character formula. I explain…
This is a non-standard paper, containing some problems, mainly in model theory, which I have, in various degrees, been interested in. Sometimes with a discussion on what I have to say; sometimes, of what makes them interesting to me,…
The theme of the article is the study of the unipotent part of Arthur's trace formula for general linear groups. The case of regular (or "regular by blocks") unipotent orbits has been essentially done in a previous paper. Here we are…
The first two lectures are devoted to describing the basic concepts of scattering theory in a very compressed way. A detailed presentation of the abstract part can be found in \cite{I} and numerous applications in \cite{RS} and \cite{Y2}.…
These notes are for the author's lectures, "Integral Reduction and Applied Algebraic Geometry Techniques" in the School and Workshop on Amplitudes in Beijing 2016. I introduce the applications of algebraic geometry methods on multi-loop…
These lecture notes are based on a set of six lectures that I gave in Edinburgh in 2008/2009 and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and conjectures and I hope they may…
These are notes related to a 12-hour course of lectures given at the Centre de Recerca Mathem\`atica near Barcelona in February, 2010. The aim of the course was to explain results on curves and their Jacobians over function fields, with…
These notes are the outgrowth of a series of lectures given at MSRI in January 1995 at the beginning of the special semester in complex dynamics and hyperbolic geometry. In these notes, the primary aim is to motivate the study of complex…
The present informal set of notes covers the material that has been presented by the author in a series of lectures for the Doctoral School in Mathematics of the Southern Federal State University of Rostov-on-Don in the Fall of 2020 and…
Quaternionic automorphic representations are one attempt to generalize to other groups the special place holomorphic modular forms have among automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2$. Here, we use "hyperendoscopy" techniques to…
We describe an approach to express the geometric side of the Arthur-Selberg trace formula in terms of zeta integrals attached to prehomogeneous vector spaces. This will provide explicit formulas for weighted orbital integrals and for the…
In a companion paper, we formulated a global conjecture for the automorphic period integral associated to the symmetric pairs defined by unitary groups over number fields, generalizing a theorem of Waldspurger's toric period for…
These are the lecture notes for a short course in topological string theory that I gave at Uppsala University in the fall of 2004. The notes are aimed at PhD students who have studied quantum field theory and general relativity, and who…
This paper is a set of lecture notes of my course "Special functions, KZ type equations, and representation theory" given at MIT during the spring semester of 2002. The notes do not contain new results, and are an exposition (mostly without…
These notes are based on a lecture course by L. Chekhov held at the University of Manchester in May 2006 and February-March 2007. They are divulgative in character, and instead of containing rigorous mathematical proofs, they illustrate…
These lecture notes concern information-theoretic notions of entropy. They are intended for, and have been successfully taught to, undergraduate students interested inresearch careers. Besides basic notions of analysis related to…
Lecture notes on an introductory course on arithmetic lattices (EPFL 2014).
These are notes from a three-lecture mini-course on free probability given at MSRI in the Fall of 2010 and repeated a year later at Harvard. The lectures were aimed at mathematicians and mathematical physicists working in combinatorics,…
A new approach to the Selberg trace formula, and more precisely to its spectral side, is developed. The approach relies on a notion of "Plancherel decomposition" of "asymptotically finite functions", and may generalize to obtain a general…
