معرفی
Stephan Stolz is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame, affiliated with the College of Science. His research focuses on geometric and algebraic topology, differential geometry, and questions related to positive scalar curvature and moduli spaces. He holds a Vardiplom from the University of Bielefeld (1975), a Diplom from the University of Bonn (1979), and a Ph.D. from Mainz University (1984).
Stolz has made significant contributions to understanding the interplay between topology and geometry, particularly in the classification of manifolds with specific curvature properties. His work often bridges algebraic topology with geometric analysis, including studies on elliptic cohomology, supersymmetric field theories, and the Gromov-Lawson conjecture. He has organized initiatives like the RTG: Geometry and Topology (2016) and contributed to conferences such as the Topology and Field Theories summer school (2012).
His research outputs span over four decades, addressing topics like spinor bundles on loop spaces, factorization algebras, and the relationship between differential forms and supersymmetric field theories. While no formal awards are listed, his extensive publication record reflects sustained academic impact in his fields.
Stolz collaborates actively with institutions like UC San Diego and has supervised projects involving algebraic structures in quantum field theories. His office is located in 166A Hurley Bldg, and he remains a key figure in geometric topology and related mathematical physics areas.
