Research

 Areas of interest: representation theory, mathematical physics, noncommutative algebra.

 Specific interests: vertex and conformal algebras, conformal field theory, representations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, combinatorial algebra.

 If you don't know what conformal algebras are, a good place to start is my (mostly survey) 2003 paper (dvi, pdf, ps).

 A list of my papers is available here.

Teaching

  Current courses:

  Some old courses: Math 3330, Math 4322 at UTA, 18.02 at MIT, 18.100A at MIT, Math 112 at Yale, Math 115 at Yale.

  A textbook I translated: E.B. Vinberg, A Course in Algebra (see reviews at Mathscinet and Zentrablatt).
