In this note we study the convergence of recursively defined infinite series. We explore the role of the derivative of the defining function at the origin (if it exists), and develop a comparison test for such series which can be used even…

In this paper, we elaborate ring theoretic properties of nodal orders. In particular, we prove that they are closed under taking crossed products with finite groups.

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we collect the author's various conjectures on congruences modulo $p$ or $p^2$, which are concerned with sums of binomial coefficients, Lucas sequences, power residues and special binary quadratic…

These are notes of my lecture courses given in the summer of 2024 in the School on Number Theory and Physics at ICTP in Trieste and in the 27th Brazilian Algebra Meeting at IME-USP in S\~ao Paulo. We give an elementary account of $p$-adic…

Normal and composition series of modules enumerated by ordinal numbers are studied. The Jordan-Holder theorem for them is discussed.

Formal concepts and closed itemsets proved to be of big importance for knowledge discovery, both as a tool for concise representation of association rules and a tool for clustering and constructing domain taxonomies and ontologies.…

Summability methods for ultraholomorphic classes in sectors, defined in terms of a strongly regular sequence $\mathbb{M}=(M_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}_0}$, have been put forward by A. Lastra, S. Malek and the second author [1], and their validity…

These notes are concerned with harmonic and holomorphic functions on Euclidean spaces, using quaternions and Clifford algebras in higher dimensions. The main themes are weak solutions, the mean-value property, and subharmonicity.

This is a self-contained set of lecture notes covering various aspects of the theory of open quantum system, at a level appropriate for a one-semester graduate course. The main emphasis is on completely positive maps and master equations,…

These are lecture notes from a mini-course taught at Winterbraids XIII (Montpellier, 2024). The main character of these notes are curves in the complex projective plane, viewed from a topological perspective.

Monads are of interest both in semantics and in higher dimensional algebra. It turns out that the idea behind usual notion finitary monads (whose values on all sets can be computed from their values on finite sets) extends to a more general…

These notes are an extension of the rough notes provided for my four lecture graduate level course on "Quadratic Forms and Automorphic Forms" at the March 2009 Arizona Winter School on Quadratic Forms. They are meant to give a survey of…

We explain the notion of the {\em entropy} of a discrete random variable, and derive some of its basic properties. We then show through examples how entropy can be useful as a combinatorial enumeration tool. We end with a few open…

Shapiro's notations for natural numbers, and the associated desideratum of acceptability - the property of a notation that all recursive functions are computable in it - is well-known in philosophy of computing. Computable structure theory,…

We study properties that allow first-order theories to be disjointly combined, including stable infiniteness, shininess, strong politeness, and gentleness. Specifically, we describe a Galois connection between sets of decidable theories,…

In this short note we will explore some recent connections between positivity, singularities, and boundedness in various contexts focusing on birational geometry.

A solution is proposed for the problem of composition of ordinary generating functions. A new class of functions that provides a composition of ordinary generating functions is introduced; main theorems are presented; compositae are written…

These lecture notes give a very short introduction to coarsening phenomena and summarize some recent results in the field. They focus on three aspects: the super-universality hypothesis, the geometry of growing structures, and coarsening in…

These are the lecture notes for my course at the 2011 Park City Mathematics Graduate Summer School. The first two lectures covered the basics of the Torelli group and the Johnson homomorphism, and the third and fourth lectures discussed the…

This article is based on a series of lectures on toric varieties given at RIMS, Kyoto. We start by introducing toric varieties, their basic properties and later pass to more advanced topics relating mostly to combinatorics.
