Research Focus
- Topological dynamics: entropy and related invariants of continuous group and semigroup actions, automorphism groups of uniform spaces, isometry groups of metric spaces.
- Topological groups and semigroups: amenability and extreme amenability, connections with functional analysis and combinatorics (in particular Ramsey theory), finite approximations of infinite groups, sofic groups and monoids.
- Universal algebra and model theory: finiteness properties for infinite algebras (oligomorphicity, profiniteness), automorphism groups of Fraissé limits of finite structures, continuous logic.
