Pallav Goyal

I am broadly interested in geometric representation theory. Recently, I have been working on the commuting schemes of Lie algebras and other related objects. This has led me to the realm of non-commutative geometry, more specifically, to the representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras. In the past, I have also thought about deformation quantizations and applications to representation theory in positive characteristic.
