These are notes for a five lecture series intended to uncover large-scale phenomena in the homotopy groups of spheres using the Adams-Novikov Spectral Sequence. The lectures were given in Strasbourg, May 7-11, 2007.
These lectures provide an introduction to lattice methods for nonperturbative studies of quantum field theories, with an emphasis on Quantum Chromodynamics. Lecture 1 (Ch. 2): gauge field basics Lecture 2 (Ch. 3): Abelian duality with a…
This is an extended and corrected version of lecture notes originally written for a one semester course at Leibniz University Hannover. The main aim of the notes is to give an introduction to the mathematical methods used in describing…
Since the subject of noncommutative geometry is now entering maturity, we felt there is need for presentation of the material at an undergraduate course level. Our review is a zero order approximation to this project. Thus, the present…
We study collective T-duality transformations along one, two and three directions of isometry for the three-sphere with H-flux. Our aim is to obtain new non-geometric backgrounds along lines similar to the example of the three-torus.…
These notes closely correspond to a series of lectures given by the first author in Toulouse, on the recent extension of the theory of ODE well-posedness to abstract spaces, jointly obtained by the two authors. In the last part, we describe…
These are expanded lecture notes for the summer school on Berkovich spaces that took place at the Institut de Math\'ematiques de Jussieu, Paris in 2010. They serve to illustrate some techniques and results from the dynamics on…
This talk, dedicated to the memory of G. Giacomelli, introduced the round table on neutrinos held in February 2014. The topics selected for the discussion are: 1) the neutrinoless double beta decay rate (interpretation in terms of light…
Late Winter Lecture Notes, Short Course (10 hours) of Relativistic Astrophysics held at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padova, March 13-17, 2017. Third version.
Two discrete N-level alternatives to the popular imaginary cubic oscillator are proposed and studied. In a certain domain ${\cal D}$ of parameters $a$ and $z$ of the model, the spectrum of energies is shown real (i.e., potentially,…
These notes, based on a graduate course I gave at Hamburg University in 2003, are intended to students having basic knowledges of differential geometry. Their main purpose is to provide a quick and accessible introduction to different…
This is a short write-up of lectures at UK Theory Institute, Swansea UK, Sept.99; and XVII School ``QCD: Perturbative or Non-perturbative?'' Lisbon,Portugal, Oct.99. The covered topic include (i) discussion of the scales at which…
These are notes from a 3-lecture course given by V. Dokchitser at the ICTP in Trieste, Italy, 1st--5th of September 2014, as part of a graduate summer school on "L-functions and modular forms". The course is meant to serve as an…
These notes are an account of a series of lectures given at the Les Houches Summer School "Active Matter and Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics" during August and September 2018.
In this paper we construct new classes of mixed singularities that provide realizations of real algebraic links in the $3$-sphere. Classifications and characterizations of real algebraic links are still open. These new classes of mixed…
Talk at the International Workshop "New Non Perturbative Methods and Quantization on the Light Cone", Les Houches, France, Feb.24-March 7, 1997
Motivated by recent experimental and theoretical results on optical X-waves, we propose a new type of waveforms in 2D and 3D discrete media -- multi-legged extended nonlinear structures (ENS), built as arrays of lattice solitons (tiles or…
We analyse the moduli space and the structure of noncommutative 3-spheres. We develop the notion of central quadratic form for quadratic algebras, and prove a general algebraic result which considerably refines the classical homomorphism…
An early result of Noncommutative Geometry was Connes' observation in the 1980's that the Dirac-Dolbeault cycle for the $2$-torus $\mathbb{T}^2$, which induces a Poincar\'e self-duality for $\mathbb{T}^2$, can be 'quantized' to give a…
We introduce both an exactly solvable model and a coupled-layer construction for an exotic, three-dimensional phase of matter with immobile topological excitations that carry a protected internal degeneracy. Unitary transformations on this…
