Halvard Fausk

Halvard Fausk is an Associate Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University, affiliated with the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design and the Department of Computer Science, specifically the Mathematical Modelling group. His research focuses on algebraic topology, category theory, and homotopy theory.

His work includes foundational studies on equivariant homotopy theory for pro-spectra and pro-finite groups, induction theorems for compact Lie groups, and explorations of adjoint isomorphisms. Publications span journals like Geometry and Topology, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, and Homology, Homotopy and Applications.

He has co-authored key textbooks such as Lineær Algebra (2024) and Mattenøkkelen (2014), targeting undergraduate education. His recent research trends emphasize algebraic structures in topology, while historical work includes contributions to model categories and topological group theory.
