Helge Paul Ruddat

Helge Paul Ruddat is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Stavanger, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Technology and the Department of Mathematics and Physics. His research focuses on algebraic geometry, mirror symmetry, tropical geometry, and their interplay with mathematical physics. Key areas include Landau-Ginzburg models, affine manifolds, logarithmic enumerative geometry, and the geometry of moduli spaces.

Ruddat's work bridges pure mathematics and theoretical physics, particularly through applications in symplectic geometry and Hodge theory. His recent publications address topics such as compactifications of torus fibrations, tropical quantum field theories, and the construction of Lagrangian submanifolds in mirror quintic threefolds. He maintains active collaborations with researchers like Bernd Siebert and Mark Gross, contributing to foundational advances in mirror symmetry for varieties of general type.

His research outputs include over 15 peer-reviewed articles in top journals like Advances in Mathematics and Geometry & Topology, as well as book chapters on logarithmic enumerative geometry and motivic zeta functions. Ruddat’s contributions have advanced understanding in areas such as period integrals, degeneration formulas for log maps, and the analytic properties of toric degenerations.
