These lecture notes are from a first course on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The level of the notes is introductory and pedagogical. Standard Model, basic supersymmetry algebra and its representations are considered as…
These are notes from a 15 week course aimed at graduate mathematicians. They provide an essentially self-contained introduction to some of the ideas and terminology of QFT.
Our paper originated from a generalization of the Volume Conjecture to multisums of $q$-hypergeometric terms. This generalization was sketched by Kontsevich in a problem list in Aarhus University in 2006; \cite{Ko}. We introduce the notion…
In terms of the difference operators, we establish several curious transformation and summation formulas for basic hypergeometric series. When the parameters are specified, they produce $q$-analogues of Ramanujan's three series for 1/$\pi$…
This is a set of lecture notes for a graduate-level course on quantum algorithms, with an emphasis on quantum optimization algorithms. It is developed for applied mathematicians and engineers, and requires no previous background in quantum…
The beta integral is applied to accelerate the hypergeometric function $2 F 1\left\{1, B; C ; w\right\}$ to derive new infinite series for constants such as $\pi$ and values of the gamma function. A compendium of new infinite series is…
$q$-analogs of sum equals integral relations $\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}f(n)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)dx$ for sinc functions and binomial coefficients are studied. Such analogs are already known in the context of $q$-hypergeometric series. This…
We prove new variants of the Lambert series factorization theorems studied by Merca and Schmidt (2017) which correspond to a more general class of Lambert series expansions of the form $L_a(\alpha, \beta, q) := \sum_{n \geq 1} a_n q^{\alpha…
This survey article (which will appear as a chapter in the book ``Computer Algebra in Quantum Field Theory: Integration, Summation and Special Functions'', Springer-Verlag) provides a small collection of basic material on multiple…
These notes give an elementary introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their representations. Designed to be accessible to graduate students in mathematics or physics, they have a minimum of prerequisites. Topics include definitions…
This text is aimed at undergraduates, or anyone else who enjoys thinking about shapes and numbers. The goal is to encourage the student to think deeply about seemingly simple things. The main objects of study are lines, squares, and the…
Building up on our previous works regarding $q$-deformed $P$-partitions, we introduce a new family of subalgebras for the ring of quasisymmetric functions. Each of these subalgebras admits as a basis a $q$-analogue to Gessel's fundamental…
A tutorial introduction is given to q-special functions and to q-analogues of the classical orthogonal polynomials, up to the level of Askey-Wilson polynomials.
From the simplest point of view, transseries are a new kind of expansion for real-valued functions. But transseries constitute much more than that--they have a very rich (algebraic, combinatorial, analytic) structure. The set of transseries…
Recently, various extensions and variants of Bessel functions of several kinds have been presented. Among them, the $(p,q)$-confluent hypergeometric function $\Phi_{p,q}$ has been introduced and investigated. Here, we aim to introduce an…
We derive a number of summation and transformation formulas for elliptic hypergeometric series on the root systems A_n, C_n and D_n. In the special cases of classical and q-series, our approach leads to new elementary proofs of the…
In the present paper, we establish three special $q$-Abel transformation formulae of $q$-series via the use of Abel's lemma on summation by parts. As direct applications, we set up the corresponding $q$-contiguous relations for three kinds…
This is a set of lecture notes suitable for a Master's course on quantum computation and information from the perspective of theoretical computer science. The first version was written in 2011, with many extensions and improvements in…
Foundations of the formal series $*$ -- calculus in deformation quantisation are discussed. Several classes of continuous linear functionals over algebras applied in classical and quantum physics are introduced. The notion of nonnegativity…
In this lecture notes we try to familiarize the audience with the theory of Bernoulli polynomials; we study their properties, and we give, with proofs and references, some of the most relevant results related to them. Several applications…
