Lev Borisov

Lev Borisov is a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Rutgers University, specializing in algebraic geometry. His research centers on explicit constructions in algebraic geometry, particularly on fake projective planes, toric varieties, and mirror symmetry. He teaches regularly, including Math 251 in Spring 2025, and maintains an active research program with numerous recent publications.

Research interests include:

• Algebraic geometry, with emphasis on explicit equations and moduli
• Fake projective planes and complex ball quotients
• Toric and Deligne–Mumford stacks
• Mirror symmetry and derived categories
• Hypergeometric systems and GKZ duality

Recent publications (2023–2025) focus on explicit equations of fake projective planes, non-existence of phantoms on blowups, and asymptotics of line bundles on toric stacks, reflecting a deep engagement with computational and constructive methods in algebraic geometry.
