About the group
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has selected the research group in Geometry and Topology as an emphasized research area, or more specifically as an "emerging top-tier research group". A large part of the group's research concentrates on algebraic topology and algebraic K-theory, with applications to geometric topology. The group is also involved in relating homotopy theory at large to other subjects. Motivic homotopy theory is an in-vogue example of a homotopy theory that arises in algebraic geometry. An emerging example is a new homotopy theory of C*-algebras. Members of the group are also doing research related to Floer homology, manifolds of dimension 4 and symplectic geometry.
Projects
Equations in Motivic Homotopy, 2021-2025: Funded by RCN, this project aims at studying motivic homotopy theory, a relatively new subject that allows us to utilize algebraic topology methods to understand the objects of interest in algebraic geometry.
Motivic Hopf Equation, 2016 -2020: This is a project funded of RCN. The research aims at formulating and solving ground-breaking problems in motivic homotopy theory. As a relatively new field of research this subject has quickly turned into a well-established area of mathematics drawing inspiration from both algebra and topology.
