Permanent Faculty in
Algebra & Algebraic Geometry
- Daniel
Allcock
<allcock at math.utexas.edu>
Groups, especially discrete subgroups of Lie groups, groups arising in
geometry and topology (such as Coxeter groups, Artin groups, and
monodromy groups in algebraic geometry), and some finite groups.
- David Ben-Zvi
<benzvi at math.utexas.edu>
My interests are representation theory and algebraic geometry. More
specifically I am currently most interested in the geometry of derived
categories of various kinds, as arise in the geometric Langlands
program, noncommutative geometry and topological field theory.
- Raymond
Heitmann <heitmann at math.utexas.edu>
I work in commutative algebra, particularly homological questions about
modules over Noetherian rings.
- Sean M.
Keel <keel
at math.utexas.edu>
I am currently working on Mori theory, moduli spaces, and particularly
Mori theory of moduli spaces themselves.
- David J. Saltman
<saltman at math.utexas.edu>
My primary interests are division algebras, Brauer groups, Galois
Theory
and birational invariant theory. More broadly, I am interested in
fields (algebraic) and associated subjects in Ring Theory, Algebraic
and
Diophantine Geometry, Invariant Theory, Integral Representations,
Algebraic
K-Theory, and more.
- John Tate
<tate at math.utexas.edu>
Algebraic Number Theory (local and global fields), Class Field Theory,
Galois cohomology, Galois Representations, Elliptic curves and Abelian
varieties, Sklyanin algebras.
- Felipe Voloch <voloch
at math.utexas.edu>
My research interests include arithmetic of function fields.
Diophantine geometry over function fields. Geometry of algebraic
curves. Arithmetic analogues of geometric methods. Modular forms,
elliptic curves and abelian varieties. Applications to coding theory.
Temporary Faculty in Algebra & Algebraic Geometry
- Louiza Fouli <lfouli at math.utexas.edu>
My research interests lie in the
area of commutative algebra and more specifically in the study of Rees
algebras, residual intersection theory and cores of ideals and modules.
