In this page you will find informal writings,
and links.
Course Page
for my course Representation Theory of SL_2, Spring 2005.
A list of conferences
I've attended.
Informal Writings and Lecture Notes:
Here I put some informal rambling mathematical essays I've written (mainly
long ago).
Fill in major disclaimer of responsibility..
The very widely distributed email I sent
out about Taubes' talk "Witten's Magical Equation", announcing the birth
of Seiberg-Witten theory. (It found its way to John Baez's
This Week's Finds,
Week 44).
Another widespread email I wrote,
this one summarizing Kontsevich's talk "Motivic Galois Groups and
Deformation Quantization" at the 1998 ICM (TeXed up by
Misha Finkelberg.)
The Frobenius Page, an outdated
collection of
intuitive ways to think about raising to the p-th power..
My minor thesis (Harvard, 1995) on formal groups and Witt
vectors: formal.dvi
%Research
% proposals from '99, both %non-technical
% and %technical.
A series of VERY INFORMAL
surveys aimed at introducing the geometric Langlands
program, written long long ago (circa '95) and full of embarassing mistakes
- not to be taken seriously! (yeah I should take them down, but I figure they
shouldn't do THAT much damage right?)
- articles.bib, a list of references
in algebraic geometry, conformal field theory and representation theory
(mainly articles I have copies of) (as of 1997)
- lectures.txt, a list of seminars I
have notes for (copies of notes available on request) (updated 1996).
- mybooks.bib, my math books (updated 1996).
Links:
Here are some math links I find interesting or useful:
- The Los Alamos E-print Archive,
the universal source for math and physcs preprints. Also check out
the
Davis Front End for the
math part.
- Penn State's
List of Mathematics Information Servers
- John Baez' This Week's
Finds in Mathematical Physics, a wonderful collection of postings
about everything relating to the exciting world of math-physics,
written by a fellow 2D
alum!
- Yahoo's Superstring Theory page.
- Euclid, the server
of AGE and Europroj, the European networks of Algebraic Geometers.
Includes a useful list of links to algebraic geometers.
- Number Theory
Web, a list of number theorists on the web, with links to
papers and surveys.
- e.g., check out Paul Garrett,
who has various surveys about automorphic forms, L-functions and
representations (Langlands stuff) as well as an immense bibliography.
-
Dan Abramovic has (among other things) a
link
to Kontsevich's amazing course on
deformation theory.
-
Robert Langlands' works, collected in anticipation of publication of his
collected works
- Dragan Milicic has
a collection of articles, surveys and references relating to the
geometric (in particular, localization) approach to representation theory;
check also under Arbeitsgemeinschaft
.
-
The Net Advance of Physics is a compendium of links to many assorted
review and survey papers in physics..also accessible through
-
TIPTOP, The Internet Pilot TO
Physics.
- Berkeley
Lecture Notes sells lecture notes from some advanced
courses at Berkeley.
In particular
Alan Weinstein has
one on quantization (along with other interesting papers!).
- The American Mathematical Society
- a good starting point for lots of mathematical info.
- Another plug for the awesome
Geometry Center.
