From Monge to Higgs: a survey of distance computations in noncommutative geometry
This is a review of explicit computations of Connes distance in noncommutative geometry, covering finite dimensional spectral triples, almost-commutative geometries, and spectral triples on the algebra of compact operators.

Enumerative geometry and geometric representation theory [PDF]
This is an introduction to: (1) the enumerative geometry of rational curves in equivariant symplectic resolutions, and (2) its relation to the structures of geometric representation theory. Written for the 2015 Algebraic Geometry Summer Institute.

Branched holomorphic Cartan geometry on Sasakian manifolds [PDF]
We extend the notion of (branched) holomorphic Cartan geometry on a complex manifold to the context of Sasakian manifolds. Branched holomorphic Cartan geometries on Sasakian Calabi-Yau manifolds are investigated.

General Geometry and Geometry of Electromagnetism [PDF]
It is shown that Electromagnetism creates geometry different from Riemannian geometry. General geometry including Riemannian geometry as a special case is constructed. It is proven that the most simplest special case of General Geometry is geometry underlying Electromagnetism.

An asymptotic dimension for metric spaces, and the 0-th Novikov-Shubin invariant
A nonnegative number d_infinity, called asymptotic dimension, is associated with any metric space. Such number detects the asymptotic properties of the space (being zero on bounded metric spaces), fulfills the properties of a dimension, and is invariant ...

Abel Prize 2009 as a necessitation to discussion on geometry, or physicist versus geometers [PDF]
Contemporary geometers do not acknowledge nonaxomatizable geometries. This fact means that our knowledge of geometry is poor. A perfect knowledge of geometry is important for "consumers of geometry" (physicists dealing with geometry of microcosm), because poor knowledge of geometry forces physicists to refuse from the orthodox geometrical paradigm and ...

Relations Among Universal Equations For Gromov-Witten Invariants [PDF]
In this paper, we study relations among known universal equations for Gromov-Witten invariants at genus 1 and 2.
