Mirror symmetry is a phenomenon which inspired fundamental progress in a wide range of disciplines in mathe- matics and physics in the last twenty years; we will review here a number of results going from the enumerative geometry of curves to homological algebra. These advances justify the introduction of new techniques, which are interesting in their own right. Among them, Gromov{Witten theory and its variants allow us to provide a re ned statement of mirror symmetry. Of course this leads to further open questions (despite much e ort and progress, Gromov{Witten theory remains unknown in high genus for the quintic threefold). In this course, we will illustrate the natural problem of moving beyond the local mirror symmetry statement and completing a framework of global mirror symmetry which is gradually taking shape. We will show how the missing piece in this picture comes unexpectedly from a classical subject in algebraic geometry: the theory of curves with level structures.

In this course we give an introduction to the ergodic theory behind common number expansions, like expansions to integer and non-integer bases, Luroth series and continued fraction expansion. Starting with basic ideas in ergodic theory such as ergodicity, the ergodic theorem and natural extensions, we apply these to the familiar expansions mentioned above in order to understand the structure and global behaviour of different number theoretic expansions, and to obtain new and old results in an elegant and straightforward manner.

In the algebraic approach to quantum field theory on curved backgrounds, there exists a special class of quantum states for free fields, called of Hadamard form. These are of particular relevance since they yield finite quantum fluctuations of all observables and they can be used to implement interactions at a perturbative level. Although their existence is guaranteed on all globally hyperbolic spacetimes, for long time only few explicit examples were known. A way to bypass this problem exists on those manifolds which possess a null conformal boundary, such as all asymptotically flat spacetimes. In this talk we shall discuss this construction in particular for massless, conformally coupled scalar fields and for linearised gravity.
