Key terms
- Algebraic geometry
- A branch of geometry that studies shapes defined by algebraic equations. Its objects of study include singularities and Fano varieties
- Automorphic representations
- Representations of reductive groups, which are a kind of matrix group. They are a broad generalization of classical modular forms
- Fano varieties
- A special class of algebraic varieties that is studied as a distinct object
ResearchResearch themes
Faculty members of the Algebra Lab work in number theory, algebraic geometry, complex geometry, mathematical physics, representation theory, topology, combinatorics, and other fields. This section presents the research of faculty members whose work is described on the university's faculty profile pages.
*Illustrative imageSingularities of Algebraic Varieties
Professor Takehiko Yasuda focuses on singularities of algebraic varieties, which he studies using tools such as motivic integration and jet schemes. Recently, he has been studying the wild McKay correspondence, in which number theory and singularities are closely connected.
*Illustrative imageAutomorphic Representations and the Theta Correspondence
Associate Professor Shuichiro Takeda studies automorphic representations, which are representations of reductive groups, using a method called the theta correspondence. This method constructs representations of one reductive group from those of another, which makes it possible to compare representations of different groups.
*Illustrative imageResearch on Fano Varieties
Associate Professor Kento Fujita studies Fano varieties, a special class of algebraic varieties, mainly from the viewpoint of birational geometry. Recently, his main focus has been the K-stability of Fano varieties.
