معرفی
Abdelmalek Abdesselam is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Virginia. His research spans mathematical physics, quantum field theory, and combinatorics, with particular focus on renormalization group methods and their applications to probabilistic and combinatorial structures.
His research interests include:
- Quantum Field Theory and Renormalization Group methods
- Mathematical aspects of statistical mechanics
- Combinatorial structures in physics, particularly related to permutations and group actions
- Algebraic combinatorics and invariant theory
- Probability theory with applications to physics
Abdesselam's recent work has focused on log-concavity properties of combinatorial structures, particularly those related to commuting permutations, as well as connections between quantum field theory and combinatorial mathematics. His research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between pure mathematics and theoretical physics.
His scholarly contributions include service on editorial boards for prestigious journals:
- Member of the Editorial Board for Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincaré D, Combinatorics, Physics and their Interactions
- Section Editor for Annales Henri Poincaré
- Former Member of the Editorial Board for Journal of Mathematical Physics (2013-2015)
Abdesselam has been active in the academic community through conference organization:
- Co-organizer for the conference "Recent Mathematical Advances in Classical, Quantum, and Statistical Mechanics" at U.Va (2013)
- Co-organizer for the thematic program "Combinatorics, geometry and physics" at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute (2014)
- Co-organizer of the Quantum Field Theory Session at the 2012 International Congress on Mathematical Physics
- Co-organizer of the conference on "Combinatorial Identities and Their Applications in Statistical Mechanics" at the Isaac Newton Institute (2008)
He has advised at least one PhD student, Ajay Chandra, who is now a Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London. His research has been supported by various academic institutions and has led to numerous publications in high-impact journals across mathematics and physics.
