This paper, yet another account of Seiberg-Witten theory and its consequences for algebraic surfaces, is the written version of the author's talk at the Santa Cruz conference.

We present a class of Poisson structures on trivial extension algebras which generalize some known structures induced by Poisson modules. We show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between such a class of Poisson structures and…

We discuss several rigidity and flexibility phenomena in the context of Poisson geometry.

This note is an overview of the Poisson sigma model (PSM) and its applications in deformation quantization. Reduction of coisotropic and pre-Poisson submanifolds, their appearance as branes of the PSM, quantization in terms of L-infinity…

In this note, we discuss the role played by the techniques from the "foundations of geometry" and in particular by Desargues' Theorem in the work of Busemann. This note is part of a forthcoming edition of Busemann's collected papers.

Seventy years ago, John Marstrand published a paper which, among other things, relates the Hausdorff dimension of a plane set to the dimensions of its orthogonal projections onto lines. For some time this paper attracted little attention,…

Numerical evidence suggests that the Random Field Ising Model loses Parisi-Sourlas SUSY and the dimensional reduction property somewhere between 4 and 5 dimensions, while a related model of branched polymers retains these features in any…

The notion of monodromy was introduced by J. J. Duistermaat as the first obstruction to the existence of global action coordinates in integrable Hamiltonian systems. This invariant was extensively studied since then and was shown to be…

We describe the results in the trigonometry of tetrahedra obtained by Joseph Wolstenholme in the last few years of his life. 'The late Professor Wolstenholme, M.A., Sc.D., shortly before his death, handed to me a scrap of paper, on which he…

These are lecture notes on cut-and-paste methods in 3-dimensional contact geometry.

In a recent study by Tenner, the concept of the interval poset of a permutation was introduced to effectively represent all intervals and their inclusions within a permutation. In this paper, we present a new geometric viewpoint on interval…

Theoretical physics suffered a major loss with the death of my dear friend Jan Zaanen on January 18. This note is my remembrance of him.

We describe recent links between two topics: geometric structures on manifolds in the sense of Ehresmann and Thurston, and dynamics "at infinity" for representations of discrete groups into Lie groups.

We study higher-degree generalizations of symplectic groupoids, referred to as {\em multisymplectic groupoids}. Recalling that Poisson structures may be viewed as infinitesimal counterparts of symplectic groupoids, we describe "higher''…

This set of lecture notes on local theta correspondence is the written version of a mini-course the author gave in March of 2025 for the program ``Representation Theory and Noncommutative Geometry" at the Institut Henri Poincar\'e, Paris.…

We study gauge transformations of Dirac structures and the relationship between gauge and Morita equivalences of Poisson manifolds. We describe how the symplectic structure of a symplectic groupoid is affected by a gauge transformation of…

Deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds is studied within the framework of an expansion in powers of derivatives of Poisson structures. We construct the Lie group associated with a Poisson bracket algebra which defines a second order…

The theory of the last multipliers as solutions of the Liouville's transport equation, previously developed for vector fields, is extended here to general multivectors. Characterizations in terms of Witten and Marsden differentials are…

Playing off against each other the real and complex structures, we elucidate the local structure of certain representation spaces in the world of Poisson geometry. Particular cases of these spaces arise as moduli spaces of semistable…

We summarise the talks presented in the working group on diffraction and vector mesons at the DIS 2009 workshop.
