Vladimir DotsenkoCurrently I am a researcher in the group of professor Norbert Poncin at UL (University of Luxembourg). Previously I was a lecturer at TCD (Trinity College Dublin), and a postdoc at DIAS (Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies). I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics from MSU (Moscow State University) in March 2007. I did most of my studies both at MSU and at IUM (Independent University of Moscow) under the supervision of Boris Feigin and Mikhail Zaicev. Some hints on my mathematical interests: operads, Gröbner bases, monomial algebras, combinatorics, homological algebra, homotopical algebra, representation theory, deformation theory, vertex operator algebras. There are three pieces of mathematical writing which I like a lot, both because of lovely style of writing and because of nearly infinite potential for discovering new amazing things about maths while reading them, regardless of how many times you read them before. These are Ian Macdonald's book called Symmetric functions and Hall polynomials (2nd edition) where every other fact mentioned in examples and exercises leads to a separate exciting mathematical story, Daniel Quillen's article On the (co-)homology of commutative rings, featuring the most fantastic style of maths writing, and Victor Ufnarovskij's survey Combinatorial and asymptotic methods in algebra which is sort of similar to Macdonald's book but almost without theorems and proofs between examples and exercises. Since I am often asked about a good source on operads, let me say here that Jean-Louis Loday and Bruno Vallette recently finished a remarkable book "Algebraic operads" which is available for download here.

For visitorsIf you arrive at the train station, take bus 18 direction "J.F.Kennedy", it has a stop "University - Campus Kirchberg" in front of the main entrance to the university campus. If you arrive at the airport, take bus 16 direction "Howald/cité Um Schlass", it has a stop "Coudenhove-Kalergi" by a rear entrance to the campus. If you drive, inform me in advance, since all parking of visitors should be pre-authorised.Access mapPlease consult the map to see the location of Bloc G on campus (if you choose the satellite view option on the map, the marker will point you at Bloc G).ResearchPapers and preprints
