My main area of expertise is in geometric and combinatorial aspects of representation theory in particular in connection with topology and category theory.
My current and recent research is centered around a better and, if possible, an explicit understanding of categories with geometric origin which play important roles in representation theory. One family of examples are Fukaya categories arising from Kleinian singularities or from Springer theory, but also from convolution algebras obtained from moduli spaces of representations of quivers and from quiver flag varieties. Besides an explicit description the focus is on axiomatic definitions and the comparision of structural properties of the resulting categories.
A second focus of my research is on braid group actions on derived categories, in particular for braid groups of affine or hyperbolic type outside type A and their relevance in topology. In particular we expect here a connection with knot invariants in orbifolds which then should have a nice categorification using categories arising naturally in Lie theory. This would generalize Khovanov homology in a nontrivial way. The underlying analogue of a Reshethikin-Turaev theory is hereby one of the main goal.
Another current research interest is the representation theory of super groups (like the orthosyplectic famiies, but also the socalled strange families) and make them accessible to more classical representation theoretic techniques, in particular with the goal to provide a geometric description of the involved categories of representations. These should also provide techniques which are also applicable to the representation theory of algebraic groups in positive characteristics.
Finally I am working on finite and affine Schur algebras and their generalizations, in particular I like to describe them using graded versions arising from Quiver Hecke algebras. Hereby general homological properties as well as decomposition numbers over fields of positive characteristics are important and of interest. The general results will be applied explicitly to the representation theory of the general linear p-adic groups and the local Langlands program as well as to the representation theory of the classical alternating groups over fields in positive characteristics. In both cases a good interplay between geometric and combinatorial tools will be used and hopefully further developed.

Fusion rings and categorification questions are of interest for mathematicians and physicists. In particular allows categorification the interpretation of inverted quantum numbers and formal power series in q as as Euler characteristics of infinite complexes of graded vector spaces. We used this to categorify parts of the Reshethikin-Turaev-Viro invariants for 3-manifolds, [1], [2], [3]. Fusion rings arising from quantum groups at roots of unities were studied from an integrable systems point of view in [4], from an algebraic point of view in [5] and where used to study the famous Brauer centralizer algebras in [6] , [7]. One of the first successful categorifications was the famous Khovanov homology of links. It categorifies the Jones polynomial and lifts to an invariant of cobordisms of tangles up to signs. We addressed these sign issues in two papers describing a slightly twisted version of Khovanov homology which is functorial, see [8], [9]. | Research Area F*
One of my research interests is the interaction of geometry with representation theory and combinatorics. I studied in particular categories of representations of Lie superalgebras [10], [11] with its connections to the geometry of perverse sheaves on Grassmannians [12], Springer fibers [13] and its connections to algebras arising in classical invariant theory [14]. |
