Lie algebra theory without algebra
S. K. Donaldson
This is an expository paper in which we explain how basic, standard, results about simple Lie algebras can be obtained by geometric arguments, following ideas of Cartan, Richardson…

Fundamental groups of complements of plane curves and symplectic invariants
D. Auroux, S. K. Donaldson, L. Katzarkov +1
Introducing the notion of stabilized fundamental group for the complement of a branch curve in , we define effectively computable invariants of symplectic 4-manifolds that ge…
