Publications and preprints available online are below, mostly in pdf format. The papers are ordered by date of release. Comments are very welcome. Starting around 2015, journals began to decline publishing minor errata and, as a result, I started making minor corrections after formal publication. These should in theory be noted by a version date below that is after publication date.
