We review the polyhedral realizations of crystal bases in the former half and in the latter half, we introduce braid-type isomorphisms for some rank 2 finite type crystals. Using this isomorphisms, for semi-simple Lie algebra we can show…

This note is the sequel of "Geometric structures as variational objects, I." It generalizes the main result and perspectives of that work to a class of geometric structures that includes integrable almost-complex structures.

This is an expository paper on rationally connected varieties. The aim is to provide an introduction to the subject, as well as to discuss a recent result by T. Graber, J. Harris and J. Starr. The paper is based on the talk I gave at the…

This is a follow-up on the bibliometric evaluation of Finnish astronomy presented by the author at the LISA V conference in 2006. The data from the previous study are revisited to determine how a wider institutional base and mergers affect…

We shall realize certain affine geometric crystal of type $G^{(1)}_2$ explicitly in the fundamental representation $W(\varpi_1)$. Its explicit form is rather complicated but still keeps a positive structure.

A collection of short expository essays by the author on various topics in quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology, and physics in general.

We give a brief survey of some of the geometry of mirror symmetry, written in 2004 for the "Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Physics". Probably a little bit out of date now in a few places, but hey.

This article reviews recent progress on the geometry dependence of Casimir interactions and presents some applications to nanosystems. The article consists of three parts: (i) Some examples for geometry dependence: structured surfaces,…

The goal of this short article is to summarize some of the recent developments in the quiver Yangians and crystal meltings. This article is based on a lecture delivered by the author at International Congress on Mathematical Physics (ICMP),…

This is the first of a series of papers in which we initiate and develop the theory of reflection monoids, motivated by the theory of reflection groups. The main results identify a number of important inverse semigroups as reflection…

This text is an introduction to a few selected areas of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry written for the volume of the school/conference "Noncommutative Geometry 2005" held at IPM Tehran. It is an expanded version of my lectures which…

We realize the crystal associated to the quantized enveloping algebras with a symmetric generalized Cartan matrix as a set of Lagrangian subvarieties of the cotangent bundle of the quiver variety. As a by-product, we give a counterexample…

Summary talk given at the 24th International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics, Italy, September 1994 -- This summary talk only reviews a small sample of topics featured at this symposium: 1. Introduction 2. The Geometry and Geography of…

In this note we point out links between the Shimura - Taniyama conjecture and certain ideas in physics. Since all the seminal references are by strange coincidence Japanese we wish to call this the Japanese approach. The note elaborates on…

These are notes from a lecture course on symmetric spaces by the second author given at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall of 2010.

This article is an introduction to newly discovered relations between volumes of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces or super Riemann surfaces, simple models of gravity or supergravity in two dimensions, and random matrix ensembles. (The…

This document contains notes from the graduate lecture course, "Symmetries in QFT" given by J.F.Wheater at Oxford University in Hilary term. The course gives an informal introduction to QFT.

These informal notes deal with some basic properties of metric spaces, especially concerning lengths of curves.

An explicit description of the virtualization map for the (modified) Nakajima monomial model for crystals is given. We give an explicit description of the Lusztig data for modified Nakajima monomials in type $A_n$.

This is a brief reminder, with extensions, from a different angle and for a less specialized audience, of my presentation at WGMP32 in July 2013, to which I refer for more details on the topics hinted at in the title, mainly deformation…
