RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS

My work concerns exact methods in theoretical and mathematical physics. I am particularly interested in the connections between supersymmetric gauge theories, integrable models and special functions.

Research directions

Supersymmetric gauge theories

Partition functions and supersymmetric indices make it possible to compare dual descriptions of quantum field theories. I study these exact quantities and use Bailey-type constructions to generate new families of identities and dualities.

Integrability & special functions

I work on Yang–Baxter equations, star–triangle and pentagon relations, and hypergeometric sums and integrals. These problems connect solvable statistical models with the algebraic structures behind supersymmetric dualities.

Hamiltonian systems

My interests include Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of nonlinear equations, constrained dynamics and soliton equations. Recent work addresses supersymmetric extensions and the Dirac–Bergmann analysis of constraints.

String field theory & topology

I am also interested in analytic solutions of open string field theory and in relations between supersymmetric indices, triangulated three-manifolds and knot theory.
