Edinburgh Lectures on Geometry, Analysis and Physics
by Michael Atiyah
Publisher: arXiv 2010
Number of pages: 41
Description:
These lecture notes are based on a set of six lectures that I gave in Edinburgh in 2008/2009 and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and conjectures and I hope they may stimulate readers to investigate them.

Introduction to Braided Geometry and q-Minkowski Spaceby Shahn Majid - 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.

The Geometrization of Physicsby Richard S. Palais - University of California at Irvine
The major goal of these notes is to develop an observation that not only can gauge fields of the Yang-Mills type be unified with the Einstein model of gravitation, but also that when this unification is made they are described by pure geometry.
