These notes are an account of a series of lectures I gave at the LMS-CMI Research School `Homotopy Theory and Arithmetic Geometry: Motivic and Diophantine Aspects', in July 2018, at the Imperial College London. The goal of these notes is to…
The purpose of this note is to announce the results of our investigation into the role played by the continuous spectrum in the development of the Selberg trace formula vis-\`a-vis a pair $(G,\Gamma)$. For the sake of simplicity, we shall…
These informal notes are closely based on a series of eight lectures given by J.-P. Serre at the University of Oregon in October 1998. Professor Serre gave two talks per week for four weeks. The first talk each week was concerned with…
These lecture notes provide an introduction to free probability theory, with a focus on tools and techniques useful in the study of large random matrices. Topics include freeness, free cumulants, additive and multiplicative free…
These notes were written as supplementary material for a five-hour lecture series presented at the Centre de Recerca Mathem\`atica at the Universitat Aut\`onoma de Barcelona from the 13th to the 17th of March 2017. The intention of these…
Talk presented by the second author at the Inaugural Coference of the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics, Seoul, June 1996. The purpose of this note is to give a resume of the Seiberg-Witten theory in the simplest possible…
These lecture notes provide a short review of the status of time dependent backgrounds in String theory, and in particular those that contain space-like singularities. Despite considerable efforts, we do not have yet a full and compelling…
This is an expanded version of talks given by the author at the Trieste Spring School on Supergravity and Superstrings in April of 1997 and at the accompanying workshop. The manuscript is intended to be a mini-review of Matrix Theory. The…
In this report I will give a summary of some of the main topics covered in Session A3, mathematical studies of the field equations, at GRG18, Sydney. Unfortunately, due to length constraints, some of the topics covered at the session will…
Lecture notes on selected topics in the theory of gravitation.
This material complements David Chandler's Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics (Oxford University Press, 1987) in a graduate-level, one-semester course I teach in the Department of Chemistry at Duke University. Students enter this…
These notes were originally prepared as additional material for the lessons I have given at the summer school Gamma-ray Astrophysics and Multifrequency: Data analysis and astroparticle problems, organized by the Department of Physics of the…
These notes combine material from short lecture courses given in Paris, France, in July 2001 and in Srni, the Czech Republic, in January 2003. They discuss groups of symplectomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds (M,\om) from various…
The aim of these notes is to provide a succinct, accessible introduction to some of the basic ideas of category theory and categorical logic. The notes are based on a lecture course given at Oxford over the past few years. They contain…
Trace formula is an important method to study the Langlands program. Arthur obtains the existence of stable trace formula for connected reductive group. In this paper, we will give the explicit coarse trace formula of GL(4). In general…
This paper is around the topics I discussed in the lecture I gave at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, July 2009, in the Introductory Workshop. This paper can be read as a companion to my paper [Sa\"i di], where detailed proofs can…
We deduce from Arthur's trace formula a formula with only orbital integrals on the geometric side.
These notes grew out of two lectures I have given on CAT(0) cube complexes. I've tried to keep the material elementary and self-contained in order to keep the material easily accessible and to provide an elementary introduction on the topic…
These notes reproduce the content of a short, 50-minutes, survey talk given at the Nice University in September, 2004. We added a few topics that have not been touched on in the lecture by lack of time.
We first study geometrically oriented truncation associated with stability along the line of Arthur's analytic truncation. Then, we give a detailed discussion on the so-called Abelian Parts of non-abelian L functions, using an advanced…
