Prof. Dr. Karin Baur

Royal Society Wolfson Fellow


Research: My research interests lie in algebraic, geometric and combinatorial methods in representation theory
(originally of Lie algebras and more recently of algebras...):
Cluster algebras, cluster categories, categorifications of representations, module categories;
Frieze patterns, surface algebras, triangulations and tilings;
Orbit structures, parabolic subalgebras, Richardson elements.
