معرفی
Liran Shaul is an Associate Professor at the Department of Algebra, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague. His research focuses on commutative algebra, homological algebra, and their applications in higher algebra and topology.
Shaul completed his PhD at Ben-Gurion University in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Amnon Yekutieli. He held postdoctoral positions at Bielefeld University (hosted by Prof. Henning Krause), University of Antwerp (hosted by Prof. Wendy Lowen), the Weizmann Institute, and Ben-Gurion University before joining Charles University. In 2025, he completed his habilitation thesis titled "Differential graded rings and their applications."
His research interests span commutative algebra, homological algebra, derived categories, Cohen-Macaulay rings, DG-rings, and homotopical algebra. Shaul has made significant contributions to understanding the connections between commutative algebra and derived categories, particularly in the context of DG-rings and finitistic dimensions.
Shaul's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on DG-rings, finitistic dimensions, and the Cohen-Macaulay property in derived commutative algebra. His work bridges classical commutative algebra with modern homotopical methods, providing new insights into longstanding problems in the field.
- Principal investigator for the grant "Cohen-Macaulay rings and their applications in higher algebra and topology"
- Organized the "Derived Categories" conference in Prague, February 2020
Shaul has supervised several students, including Edward Young and Emil Čuřín (Bachelor's theses), and Enrico Sabatini and Jindřich Novák (Master's theses). In the 2024/2025 winter semester, he teaches courses on Homological Algebra and Algebraic Geometry.
