Roberto Pagaria

Roberto Pagaria is an Associate Professor in Algebraic Topology at the University of Bologna. He is a member of the EMS Young Academy and has supervised three PhD students. His research focuses on Abelian arrangements, configuration spaces, matroids, representation theory, spectral sequences, and quiver varieties.

Education:

• PhD in Mathematics (2019), thesis: 'Cohomology and Combinatorics of Toric Arrangements', advised by Filippo Callegaro
• Master's thesis: 'Geometry of Quiver Varieties', advised by Andrea Maffei
• Bachelor's thesis: 'The Brauer Group of a Local Field', advised by Angelo Vistoli and Ilaria Del Corso

Research Interests: Pagaria's work bridges algebraic topology, combinatorics, and geometry. He explores cohomological structures of toric arrangements, elliptic arrangements, and configuration spaces. His studies include Hodge theory for polymatroids, combinatorial decomposition theorems, and applications of spectral sequences in representation theory.

Academic Engagement: He co-organized the 2023 Summer School on 'Quiver Representations, Quiver Varieties, and Combinatorics' and delivered invited talks at leading institutions such as MIT, University of Strasbourg, and the Göran Gustafsson Symposium. His software tools like 'arithmat' (for arithmetic matroids) and 'Characteristic OT' enhance computational research in combinatorial algebraic geometry.

Grants and Awards: While no specific grants are detailed, his active conference participation and software contributions highlight sustained academic engagement. His work has been published in top journals like the Journal of the London Mathematical Society and the International Mathematics Research Notices.
