Research Domains
The study of primitive spectrum of enveloping algebras and quantum groups particularly with respect to the construction of completely prime ideals, the determination of invariants such as Goldie rank and associated varieties.
The study of differential operators rings and their role in quantization.
The study of geometric objects associated to the orbit method, in particular orbital varieties, their inclusion relations and character formulae, ideals of definition particularly of orbital varieties and of B-orbits.
The use of crystal graphs to study representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras. In particularly the existence of Demazure flags and the structure of loop modules.
The study of KPRV determinants in the super, quantum and affine cases.
The determinantion of semiinvariants in the symmetric algebras of parabolic subalgebras and their maximal Poisson commutative subalgebras.
The study of invariant functionals on automorphic representations and of adelic variants of Frobenius reciprocity.
