معرفی
Assaf Libman is a Reader in the School of Natural and Computing Sciences at the University of Aberdeen. His research lies at the intersection of algebraic topology, homotopy theory, and group theory, with a focus on fusion systems, p-local compact groups, and their connections to representation theory. He also contributes to mathematical finance and argumentation theory, demonstrating interdisciplinary breadth.
Research Interests:
- Homotopy Theory and its relations with Homological Algebra and Representation Theory
- The homotopy theory of fusion systems
- Applications to modular representation theory
- Mathematical finance and discrete market models
- Argumentation theory and logical semantics
Recent publications reveal a sustained research output in both pure mathematics and applied domains. His work on fusion systems, boundedness of groups, and homotopy limits reflects deep theoretical engagement, while his papers on super-hedging, option pricing, and argumentation semantics show applied versatility. Trends indicate ongoing collaborations, particularly with Jarek Kędra and Nir Oren.
Scientific Funding:
- Nuffield Foundation (2004)
- EPSRC (2006) – Project: "Combinatorial and Homotopy Theory of Classifying Spaces of Fusion Systems"
Libman teaches undergraduate courses including Probability Theory (MA2505), Engineering Analysis and Methods (EG3006), and Understanding Data (ST1506). He has no listed advisees in the provided text. He maintains an active research profile with publications up to 2025.
