معرفی
Prof. Dr. Thomas Nikolaus is a professor in the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Münster, specializing in topology. His research spans homotopy theory, higher algebra, algebraic K-theory, field theories, mathematical physics, topological Hochschild homology, and non-commutative geometry, with significant contributions to the development of topological cyclic homology and its connections to algebraic K-theory.
- Current investigator in the CRC 1442 Geometry: Deformations and Rigidity.
- Explicitly mentioned as part of Mathematics Münster and Department of Mathematics at the University of Münster.
His recent publications focus on Witt vectors, prismatic cohomology, polygonic spectra, TR theory, and L-theory of C∗-algebras, with a strong emphasis on topological Hochschild homology and its applications. He has collaborated extensively with researchers like Ben Antieau, Achim Krause, Emanuele Dotto, and Peter Scholze.
Scientific Awards:
