Arielle Leitner

Arielle Leitner serves as a Research Consultant in the Department of Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Science and a Senior Lecturer at Afeka College of Engineering in Tel Aviv, Israel, focusing on the interplay between low-dimensional topology, geometry, dynamics, and algebra.

Education:

• PhD in Mathematics, University of California, Santa Barbara, 2015
• MS in Mathematics, University of California, Santa Barbara, 2011
• BS in Mathematics, California State University, Chico, 2009
• Certificate in College and University Teaching (CCUT)

Her research spans geometric transitions of matrix Lie subgroups, dynamics of symmetric space boundaries, convex projective structures, Chabauty topology, coarse geometry, and Dessin d'Enfants. This work bridges pure mathematics disciplines through investigations of subgroup compactifications and geometric structures, yielding deep connections between topological, algebraic, and dynamic systems frameworks.

Publication trends (2010-2022) reveal concentrated contributions to Chabauty space theory in real and p-adic Lie groups, particularly SL(n,R) and SL(n,Q_p), alongside foundational work on moduli spaces of convex projective manifolds. Her collaborative approach with mathematicians like Ciobotaru, Lazarovich, and Cooper has advanced classifications of subgroup limits and generalized cusps.
