These are the notes for my 2017 Takagi lectures on DT counts of curves in algebraic threefolds. We discuss the fundamentals of the subject, its origins, open questions, and certain recent advances.
In this survey we recognize Enrique Arrondo's contributions over the whole of its career, recalling his professional history and collecting the results of his mathematical production.
It is proposed to exploit the decay of the meson ${B}^+ \rightarrow p \pi^+ \pi^+ \bar{\Sigma}_c^{--}$ and of its charge conjugate $B^-$ copiously produced at LHC to obtain a sample of $\Lambda_c$ baryons through the strong decay $\Sigma_c…
This is a condensed exposition of the results of a future work, based on a talk of the second author at the Oberwolfach workshop "Poisson Geometry", April 30--4 May 2007.
This article presents a whirlwind tour of some results surrounding the Koebe-Andre'ev-Thurston Theorem, Bill Thurston's seminal circle packing theorem that appears in Chapter 13 of The Geometry and Topology of Three-Manifolds. It will…
A short review of recent results of authors on sigma-model approach in multidimensional gravity with p-branes is presented.
Nonlinear analysis has played a prominent role in the recent developments in geometry and topology. The study of the Yang-Mills equation and its cousins gave rise to the Donaldson invariants and more recently, the Seiberg-Witten invariants.…
The supersymmetric Poisson Sigma model is studied as a possible worldsheet realization of generalized complex geometry. Generalized complex structures alone do not guarantee non-manifest N=(2,1) or N=(2,2) supersymmetry, but a certain…
Conferences are deeply connected to research fields, in this case bibliometrics. As such, they are a venue to present and discuss current and innovative research, and play an important role for the scholarly community. In this article, we…
Symplectic and Poisson geometry emerged as a tool to understand the mathematical structure behind classical mechanics. However, due to its huge development over the past century, it has become an independent field of research in…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author. It will be replaced, substantially modified, by sections of the author's completed PhD thesis.
This article is based on a lecture at the Journal of Differential Geometry Conference, Harvard 2017. We discuss closed and torsion-free $G_{2}$-structures on a 7-manifold with boundary, with prescribed $3$-form on the boundary. Much of the…
On Saturday 26 September, around 4am, John Barrow died aged 67, with his wife Elizabeth and son Roger at his side. From a scientific perspective, it is hard to conceive a more premature end. During lockdown alone, whilst undergoing…
Foreward to the Bolyai-Gauss-Lobachevsky 2022 special issue, published in ${\it Symmetry}$, in lieu of the 12${}^{\rm th}$ International Conference on Non-Euclidean Geometry, ``BGL-2022''.
Alessandro Fig\`a-Talamanca (1938-2023) was an influential Italian mathematician, scientific leader of the Italian group of harmonic analysis for many years. Since the late 1970ies, his interest focussed on harmonic analysis on free groups…
The present volume is the written version of the series of lectures the author delivered at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium during the period of June-July, 1990. The main purpose of these talks is to present some of author's work…
This is a pedagogical introduction into theories with branes and extra dimensions. We first discuss the construction of such models from an effective field theory point of view, and then discuss large extra dimensions and some of their…
I review some of the important and exciting recent advances that were presented at the 2007 conference on Extragalactic Jets in Girdwood, Alaska, using as a framework the scientific challenges presented by R. Blandford at the beginning of…
This volume contains the accepted papers at the third Workshop on Membrane Computing and Biologically Inspired Process Calculi, held in Bologna on 5th September 2009. The papers are devoted to both membrane computing and biologically…
