Research interests

My primary research interest is within noncommutative geometry. As a subfield in its own this is a rather young area. It has its origin in classical ring theory, operator algebra theory, quantum groups and of course classical algebraic geometry. In noncommutative geometry one tries to unify algebraic geometrical intuition and noncommutative algebraic technology.

My point of view is to try to understand the geometrical structure of the module category of a finitely presented associative algebra, in particular to classify the simple modules and their extensions. As tools are used algebraic methods, geometrical intiution, invariant theory and deformation theory.

I have also been interested in homological algebra. Homological algebra is an inportant tool for geometers, topologists and algebraists. But there are also intrinsic problems in homological algebra, which are of great interest. Among these are problems connected to the relation between commutative and noncommutative algebra.

Professional Activities

(to the top)
 The Norwegian parliament founded, january 1, 2002 the Abel prize. The prize will be awarded annually, to a great mathematician of our time. The prize has been awarded three times, in 2003 the winner was Jean-Pierre Serre, in 2004 Sir Michael Atiyah and Isadore Singer, in 2005 Peter D. Lax, in 2006 Lennart Carleson, in 2007 Srinivasa S. R. Varadhan, in 2008 John G. Thompson and Jacques Tits, in 2009 Mikhail Gromov and in 2010 John Tate. Next award ceremony will be held in Oslo in May 2011. My connection to the Abel prize is as responsible for outreach activities.
