This set of lecture notes covers a general model of adverse selection as well as a leading example— that of a price discriminating monopolist— due to Maskin and Riley (1984). At the end of this unit, students should understand the application of the revelation principal to this class of models, the general solution techniques, and the key economic trade-o¤— e¢ ciency versus information rent sav...

These lecture notes provide a full discussion of certain analytic aspects of the uniformisation theory of foliations by curves on compact Kähler manifolds, with emphasis on their consequences on positivity properties of the corresponding canonical bundles.

In this paper, we highlight two q-series identities arising from the “five guidelines” approach to enumerating lecture hall partitions and give direct, qseries proofs. This requires two new finite corollaries of a q-analog of Gauss’s second theorem. In fact, the method reveals stronger results about lecture hall partitions and anti-lecture hall compositions that are only partially explained com...

The previous lecture showed that, for self-reducible problems, the problem of estimating the size of the set of feasible solutions is equivalent to the problem of sampling nearly uniformly from that set. This lecture explores the applications of that result by developing techniques for sampling from a uniform distribution. Specifically, this lecture introduces the concept of Markov Chain Monte ...

In this lecture I give a pedagogical introduction to inflationary cosmology with a special focus on the quantum generation of cosmological perturbations. The basic outline of the lecture is as follows: The lecture was first presented to astronomy undergraduate students at Princeton in 2005.

This lecture continues to study the questions introduced last time. Do strategic players reach an equilibrium of a game? How quickly? By what learning processes? Positive results on these questions justify equilibrium analysis, including bounds on the price of anarchy. Last lecture focused on best-response dynamics. These dynamics are most relevant for potential games, which cover many but not ...
