These notes have been written as a support for the course about temporal logics taught at MPRI (Master Parisien de Recherche en Informatique) during the first semester of year 2006-2007. They contain most of what will be studied during the course, most often with detailled proofs, and several exercises, ranked from easy ( ) to hard ( ).

The possible predictors, derived from the theoretical work of 10 suicidologists, were as follows: unbearable psychological pain, interpersonal relations, rejection-aggression, inability to adjust...

These notes are my continuing effort to provide a sort of working mathematician’s guide to the derived category and perverse sheaves. They began as handwritten notes for David Mond and his students, and then I decided to type them for possible inclusion as an appendix in a paper.

I have tried to make the style rather more ‘flowi...

These notes are from the Database of Automorphic L-functions at http://www.math.rutgers.edu/∼sdmiller/l-functions . They were written up by Stephen Miller, and are based on discussions with Freydoon Shahidi, Purdue University. They are meant to serve as an introduction to the Langlands-Shahidi method of studying L-functions through the Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series.
