The lab studies topology through diffeomorphism groups and knot invariants.

AboutAbout the lab
Investigating the spaces formed by deformations of shapes through topology.
The lab studies diffeomorphism groups and spaces of embeddings in the field of topology.
Finite type invariants of 3-manifolds and knots are also among its research themes.
Through collaborative research, it works on distinguishing families of deformations of shapes using invariants constructed from graphs.
Key terms
- Diffeomorphism group
- The group of all maps that deform a shape smoothly and reversibly
- Finite type invariant
- Among the quantities that distinguish knots and 3-manifolds, one that is determined at some finite stage
- Embedding
- Placing one shape inside another without any overlap
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the topology of diffeomorphism groups and spaces of embeddings, as well as finite type invariants of 3-manifolds and knots.
