Research Interests

I am interested in commutative algebra and singularities in algebraic geometry. The problems I am currently working on are closely related to absolute integral closures with applications to all characteristics.

Publications and Preprints

• ``Vanishing of Tors of absolute integral closures in equicharacteristic zero.'' arxiv. To appear in Trans. of Amer. Math. Soc.

  Slides for a talk I gave at C.A.T.S (Alabama).

• ``Coherence of absolute integral closures'' arxiv. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. Ser. B 9 (2022), 75-89.

  I presented a poster on this at mini-AGNTS 2021 and KUMUNU 2022. I gave a 10-minute beamer talk on this at the FRG workshop in Seattle.
  

  Erratum: there is a mistake in the paper which affects none of the main (or new) results.
