Remark: These documents are still in development, to varying degrees. I'll probably edit them into 2026 (at least), after which point they may become some kind of book. Certainly all of the texts above are full of typos. So, I don't really need to know about those kinds of things. However, I would be happy to receive any comments concerning errors, misstatements, sections which might be confusing, historical remarks, etc. etc., all of which can be sent to me via email.
In my own estimations, Part I is in ok shape, Part III is probably serviceable, though it could use some work, and Part II is simply incomplete.

-- Short Biography
I completed my undergrad work at the University of Virginia, then attended the University of Washington for grad school. At UW I worked under my advisor James Zhang. I did postdoc work at Louisiana State University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Hausdorff Institute at Bonn, and the Mathematical Science Research Institute at Berkeley. I was previously an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina (2019-2021).
