Publications

My research interests focus mainly on the interface between mathematics and physics. More precisely, I am interested in the interconnections between string theory (and other approaches to quantum gravity and unification), geometry, topology, number theory, quantum field theory and gauge theory.
See also the arXiv or Spires for a list of scientific publications.
Here is a pdf version of my publication list.
