About the Role
To work with Dr Scott Balchin on the EPSRC funded project “Point-free methods in tensor-triangular geometry.”
This EPSRC funded research project aims to use tools coming from point-free topology (i.e., the theory of frames and lattices) to tackle questions arising in tensor-triangular geometry. There is a particular focus on computing specific examples arising from stable equivariant homotopy theory, commutative algebra, and representation theory.
