Description of Research
We investigate the topology of manifolds and simplicial complexes and the geometry of locally symmetric spaces and Riemannian, Finslerian, algebraic and symplectic manifolds, together with extensions to general metric spaces. Abstract notions of curvature also link this area with stochastic and discrete structures. The geometry of locally symmetric spaces is connected with arithmetic problems. Geometrically defined variational problems, like harmonic maps, pseudoholomorphic curves or minimal submanifolds, require powerful tools from analysis. Some of these variational problems, in particular those involving Dirac operators, are inspired by quantum field and string theory.
