Research interests

In our group, mathematical physics is often practiced as a part of mathematics which can take inspiration from (but is not limited to) theoretical physics or aims at providing a rigorous understanding of physical models, in particular those coming from quantum field theory or string theory in which a mathematical framework (or even: definition) is lacking. This covers a rich array of techniques and problems, from combinatorics and algebra, geometry and topology, representation theory, probability and functional analysis, with an emphasis on their interrelations. Recent topics of interests include topological recursion, geometry of moduli spaces of curves, conformal field theory and supersymmetric gauge theories via AGT, free probability.
