معرفی
Lennart Meier is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University’s Mathematical Institute, specializing in algebraic topology and chromatic homotopy theory. He is part of the Utrecht Geometry Center and collaborates closely with Gijs Heuts, Ieke Moerdijk, and others. His research bridges topological modular forms (TMF), equivariant homotopy theory, and arithmetic geometry, with applications to theoretical physics.
- Education: PhD in stable homotopy theory (2012, Bonn), Diplom in Mathematics and Philosophy (Bielefeld/Bonn).
Meier’s work focuses on topological modular forms, which use modular functions to study high-dimensional spaces. His research explores equivariant extensions of TMF, interactions with symmetries, and connections to quantum field theories. He has supervised PhD students like Sven van Nigtevecht, Ryan Quinn, and Jaco Ruit, with past master theses covering Brauer groups, K-theory, and cobordism.
Recent publications analyze equivariant slice filtrations, duality in real spectra, and decompositions of TMF with level structures. Meier received a VIDI grant (2020) and ENW-KLEIN grant (2020) for symmetry-related research. He co-organizes the European Autumn School in Topology and teaches courses on infinity-categories and algebraic topology.

Meier’s lab collaborates on topological invariants, spectral sequences, and geometric models for homotopy theory. His team includes Christian Carrick (postdoc), Sven van Nigtevecht (PhD), and Ryan Quinn (PhD), with past members like Jack Davies now in Bonn. He advocates open-access publishing and avoids refereeing for commercial journals unless compensated.
