in fluid dynamics, magnetic Sobolev spaces and semi-linear elliptic problems.

Je participe à la recherche de l’équipe de théorie des catégories. Notre recherche se concentre sur l'algèbre catégorique: plus particulièrement, nous développons certains nouveaux aspects de la théorie des catégories utiles en algèbre homologique non abélienne, algèbre homotopique de dimension supérieur, algèbre universelle et algèbre topologique, théorie de la descente et théorie de Galois, théorie des algèbres de Hopf et des quandle.

Marco Abbadini
I am interested in the connections between logic, algebra, order and topology that emerged starting with M. H. Stone’s celebrated representation theorem for Boolean algebras in 1936. The main topics of my research are Stone-like dualities and their applications, with a particular focus on MV-algebras and lattice-ordered groups.

Hidde Schönberger
My main research areas are calculus of variations and partial differential equations. I work on problems motivated by modeling applications, such as materials science or image processing, and my focus lies on establishing existence results for solutions or minimizers, the convergence of parameter-dependent problems via Gamma-convergence and variational problems involving nonlocality.

Laura Constant
I am currently working on the bicategory of chain complexes of symmetric categorical groups. My first goal is to determine whether this bicategory is 2-abelian. More generally, I am investigating whether the bicategory of chain complexes of an 2-abelian bicategory is itself 2-abelian. Finally, I am studying whether this bicategory admits a model bicategory structure in the sense of Descotte.

Working in the area of homological algebra in a non-abelian context. More precisely, I am working a non-additive version of the left derived functors. This leads me to the study of homotopy of chain complex and a bit of model theory.

My PhD-topic is to develop a non-abelian theory of spectral sequences. Double semi-simplicial groups have certain spectral sequences associated to them. The motivating question is how much can we generalize this to the semi-abelian context.

I investigate a cosimplicial space retrieving the homotopy type of embedding spaces. The main objective is to compute the rational cohomology of (framed) embedding spaces of small dimensional manifolds into euclidean spaces. Side questions are also on the menu, such as the invariance under change of smooth structure or a generalization to factorization homology.

Did my masters thesis in topos theory.
Currently writing about Lyapunov theory in categorical terms, specifically the converse lyapunov theorem that a system with an equilibrium point must have a corresponding "energy function" (lyapunov fucntion, ie a function that decrease on trajectory and "sufficiently" smooth) that serve as a certificate for the stability.

I am working on open problems regarding Sobolev mappings (valued in a manifold), in particular on their trace theory. The set of all Sobolev mappings is in general not a vector space and its study is therefore very different from a vector valued Sobolev space. Most of the linear constructions which work wonders in the vector valued case (e.g. by convolution) cannot be used in the manifold valued case.
