Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Texas Tech University.

I am currently looking for Ph.D. students. Email me for additional information.

Email: dmitri.pavlov[remove this text]@ttu.edu.

Research interests: homotopy theory, higher differential geometry, factorization algebras, functorial quantum field theory, derived manifolds, synthetic differential geometry, Tomita–Takesaki theory, locales and toposes.

Invited talks I have given. A complete list of talks is also available.

Expository texts

A very gentle introduction to functorial field theory and Chern–Simons theory via bundle 2-gerbes. Handwritten notes of a series of lectures given at Texas Tech in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.

Classification of irreducible representations of Heisenberg groups and algebras, notes of a talk given on December 11, 2007 at QFT Mini Conference at UC Berkeley: TeX, DVI, PostScript, PDF.

Notes

Lectures on the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, notes for a Spring 2011 course by Peter Teichner.

Notes of Spring 2010 Physics for Topologists Seminar at UC Berkeley.

Scans of papers by other authors.

Software

Scripts for mathematics: automatic downloading of full texts and bibliographic information based on title or repository id.

tspell, a spell checker for TeX files like aspell (using libaspell), but with a much better support for TeX.

jbig2topdf, a program to assemble a bunch of JBIG2 files into a PDF file, which was used to produce the bilevel PDF files on the scans page.

Macros for Knuth's TeX system.

Git tutorial for mathematicians.
