Notes for the course Gauge theory and topology - an introduction in Pisa:

Lecture 1 - From magnetostatics to gauge theory.
Lecture 2 - Curvature and characteristic classes.
Lecture 3 - Yang-Mills theory on Riemannian manifolds.
Lecture 4 - Instantons, monopoles, vortices.

I am interested in Floer homology, hyperbolic geometry, spectral theory, and their mutual interactions. I think a lot about the equations of Maxwell and Dirac in three dimensions.

Publication list and preprints:

Dirac spectral flow and Floer theory of hyperbolic three-manifolds, with M. Lipnowski (spectral movie).
Adjunction inequalities and the Davis hyperbolic four-manifold, with B. Martelli.
Divergence-free framings of three-manifolds via eigenspinors, Documenta Mathematica.
Topology of the Dirac equation on spectrally large three-manifolds.
