Francesco Sala
I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pisa and a Visiting Scientist at Kavli IPMU (Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe), the University of Tokyo, Japan.
My research interests originate from the interplay between representation theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. In recent years, I have been focusing on the study of Hall algebras and their refined versions (cohomological, K-theoretical, categorified), and their relation to the theory of quantum groups. For more details, you can check out my publications page or see my full CV.
My research is partially supported by the JSPS KAKENHI Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research C no. 26K06721. Further information is available in the Grants section of my CV.
