Research

    Specializations:

    Algebraic Number Theory, Galois Cohomology, Quadratic Forms, Field Theory, Brauer Groups, Algebraic K-Theory, Algebraic Geometry, and Algebraic Topology

    Research interests:

    Bloch-Kato conjecture, quadratic forms, Galois groups and cohomology, Grothendieck's anabelian geometry, zeta functions, analytic pro-p-groups, algebraic K-theory, cohomology of finite p-groups, Galois groups of maximal p-extensions with given set of ramification points, stable homotopy category and Freyd's generating hypothesis. I am also very interested in both finite generation of Tate cohomology and Lie algebras associated with Galois groups.
