Book cover: First Steps Towards a Symplectic DynamicsFirst Steps Towards a Symplectic Dynamics
by - arXiv
Both dynamical systems and symplectic geometry have rich theories and the time seems ripe to develop the common core with integrated ideas from both fields. We discuss problems which show how dynamical systems and symplectic ideas come together.

Book cover: Introduction to Braided Geometry and q-Minkowski SpaceIntroduction to Braided Geometry and q-Minkowski Space
by - arXiv
Systematic introduction to the geometry of linear braided spaces. These are versions of Rn in which the coordinates xi have braid-statistics described by an R-matrix. From this starting point we survey the author's braided-approach to q-deformation.

Book cover: Lectures on complex geometry, Calabi-Yau manifolds and toric geometryLectures on complex geometry, Calabi-Yau manifolds and toric geometry
by - arXiv
These are introductory lecture notes on complex geometry, Calabi-Yau manifolds and toric geometry. We first define basic concepts of complex and Kahler geometry. We then proceed with an analysis of various definitions of Calabi-Yau manifolds.
