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  • The Frobenius Page, an outdated collection of intuitive ways to think about raising to the p-th power..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?)
