This paper contains a set of lecture notes on manifolds with boundary and corners, with particular attention to the space of quantum states. A geometrically inspired way of dealing with these kind of manifolds is presented,and explicit examples are given in order to clearly illustrate the main ideas.

The Chevalley-Eilenberg differential calculus and differential operators over N-graded commutative rings are constructed. This is a straightforward generalization of the differential calculus over commutative rings, and it is the most general case of
the differential calculus over rings that is not the non-commutative geometry. Since any N-graded ring possesses the associated Z_2-graded structure, this also is the case of the graded differential calculus over Grassmann algebras and the supergeometry and field theory on graded manifolds.
Consider a non-relativistic quantum particle with wave function inside a region $Omegasubset mathbb{R}^3$, and suppose that detectors are placed along the boundary $partial Omega$. The question how to compute the probability distribution of the time
at which the detector surface registers the particle boils down to finding a reasonable mathematical definition of an ideal detecting surface; a particularly convincing definition, called the absorbing boundary rule, involves a time evolution for the particles wave function $psi$ expressed by a Schrodinger equation in $Omega$ together with an absorbing boundary condition on $partial Omega$ first considered by Werner in 1987, viz., $partial psi/partial n=ikappapsi$ with $kappa>0$ and $partial/partial n$ the normal derivative. We provide here a discussion of the rigorous mathematical foundation of this rule. First, for the viability of the rule it plays a crucial role that these two equations together uniquely define the time evolution of $psi$; we point out here how the Hille-Yosida theorem implies that the time evolution is well defined and given by a contraction semigroup. Second, we show that the collapse required for the $N$-particle version of the problem is well defined. Finally, we also prove analogous results for the Dirac equation.
The paper studies a class of quantum stochastic differential equations, modeling an interaction of a system with its environment in the quantum noise approximation. The space representing quantum noise is the symmetric Fock space over L^2(R_+). Using
the isomorphism of this space with the space of square-integrable functionals of the Poisson process, the equations can be represented as classical stochastic differential equations, driven by Poisson processes. This leads to a discontinuous dynamical state reduction which we compare to the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber model. A purely quantum object, the norm process, is found which plays the role of an observer (in the sense of Everett [H. Everett III, Reviews of modern physics, 29.3, 454, (1957)]), encoding all events occurring in the system space. An algorithm introduced by Dalibard et al [J. Dalibard, Y. Castin, and K. M{o}lmer, Physical review letters, 68.5, 580 (1992)] to numerically solve quantum master equations is interpreted in the context of unravellings and the trajectories of expected values of system observables are calculated.
A gauge-invariant formulation of constrained variational calculus, based on the introduction of the bundle of affine scalars over the configuration manifold, is presented. In the resulting setup, the Lagrangian is replaced by a section of a suitable
principal fibre bundle over the velocity space. A geometric rephrasement of Pontryagins maximum principle, showing the equivalence between a constrained variational problem in the state space and a canonically associated free one in a higher affine bundle, is proved.
We consider differential operators between sections of arbitrary powers of the determinant line bundle over a contact manifold. We extend the standard notions of the Heisenberg calculus: noncommutative symbolic calculus, the principal symbol, and the
contact order to such differential operators. Our first main result is an intrinsically defined subsymbol of a differential operator, which is a differential invariant of degree one lower than that of the principal symbol. In particular, this subsymbol associates a contact vector field to an arbitrary second order linear differential operator. Our second main result is the construction of a filtration that strengthens the well-known contact order filtration of the Heisenberg calculus.
