Homepage of Mikhail Gorsky

I am a postdoc at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Vienna.

In 2021-2022 I was a postdoc at LAMFA at the Université de Picardie Jules Verne in Amiens. I spent the 2020 fall semester at the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. In 2018-2020, I was a postdoc at the University of Stuttgart. Prior to that I was a visiting scientist at the Bielefeld University and an invited reseascher at IHES. In 2015-2017 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics in Bonn.

Organising

In January 2022, Roger Casals, José Simental Rodríguez, Melissa Sherman-Bennett and I organised AIM workshop on cluster algebras and braid varieties.
In July 2021 -- December 2022, José Simental Rodríguez and I ran an online seminar on cluster structures on coordinate rings of various varieties appearing in Lie theory and related to link invariants. It was organised within the AIM Research Community on Link Homology.

Research interests

Hall algebras and categorification of quantum groups
Cluster algebras and cluster categories
Quiver representations and quiver varieties
Coxeter combinatorics: subword complexes, Cambrian lattices, non-crossing partitions...
Categorification of knot invariants
