Geometry & Topology
Geometry and Topology: algebraic topology, homotopy theory, algebraic geometry, noncommutative geometry, differential geometry, symplectic geometry and topology, toric varieties, higher categories, homotopy type theory, parallel processing, data structures, mathematical physics.
The geometry and topology group at Western studies topics with connections to many areas of mathematics as well as to physics, computation and logic. The topics include algebraic topology, homotopy theory, algebraic geometry, noncommutative geometry, differential geometry, symplectic geometry and topology, toric varieties, higher categories, homotopy type theory, parallel processing, data structures, mathematical physics.
