Past, present and future

If you’re interested in doing a PhD in representation theory in Edinburgh, contact me! To get an idea of some of the things I work on you can see a talk I gave in December 2006 in Durham to prospective UK PhD students. Much of my work is concerned with Cherednik Algebras and I have written a survey article and another. You should also check the 24 seminar, which is our weekly meeting for the representation theorists to get better educated.

Maurizio Martino wrote his thesis on “Symplectic reflection algebras and Poisson geometry” and graduatedin 2006.

Katrin Gehles wrote her thesis on “Properties of Cherednik Algebras and Graded Hecke Algebras” and graduated in 2006. She’s now working for the GLS bank in Bochum.

 

Richard Vale wrote his thesis on “Category O for the rational Cherednik algebra of the complex reflection group (Z/lZ)\wr S_n”, defending it in early 2007. He was a predoc the University of Freiburg and he is currently a HC Wang Assisstant Professor of mathematics at Cornell University.

 

Gwyn Bellamy started in October 2006 in Edinburgh. His thesis was on "Generalized Calogero-Moser spaces and rational Cherednik algebras".
