Kazuo Habiro

Kazuo Habiro is a Professor at the University of Tokyo, affiliated with the Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics. His work bridges topology and algebraic structures, focusing on quantum invariants of 3-manifolds and links.

Research Interests: Specializing in low-dimensional topology, quantum topology, and algebraic topology, Habiro explores connections between topological spaces and quantum algebra. Recent interests include homological algebra, such as group homology and Hochschild homology.

Selected Publications highlight his contributions to quantum invariants, Kirby calculus, and clasper theory, reflecting interdisciplinary trends in geometric topology and quantum field theory.
