Algebraic Topology

Our research lies in homotopy theory and its interaction with related subjects, like algebraic geometry, combinatorics, differential topology and logic.

Research interests

  • Chromatic and telescopic homotopy theory, both stable and unstable
  • Derived algebraic geometry
  • Equivariant homotopy theory
  • Goodwillie calculus
  • Higher category theory
  • Infinity-Operads (especially through the lens of dendroidal sets)
  • Moduli of elliptic curves
  • Spectral Lie algebras
  • Topological modular forms

Our members are part of the Dutch cluster on Geometry and Quantum Theory (GQT).
