Research at HU

Research concern

My research at HU Berlin concerned Riemannian geometry, more precisely G-structures and manifolds with special holonomy, together with the study of connections with torsion, Dirac operators and spinorial field equations; the relations of the aforementioned to theoretical physics (string theory).

Amongst the tools and techniques a prominent role was played by Lie groups, Lie algebras and representation theory (read: differential forms), giving the differential geometric approach an algebraic twist.
