Itay Glazer-
Math Homepage
I am an assistant professor at the department of mathematics of the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
In 2023-2024 I was a Titchmarsh Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. In 2020-2023, I was a Boas Assistant Professor at Northwestern University. Before that, I was a PhD student at the Weizmann Institute of Science, advised by Avraham Aizenbud.
Research interests:
My research interests lie in group theory, algebraic geometry, representation theory and in applications of motivic integration. In a higher resolution, I currently focus on:
Studying pushforwards of smooth measures by analytic maps, and their relation to the singularities of those maps.
Word maps in various settings, and the random walks they induce on compact p-adic and compact Lie groups.
Motivic integration and the various applications to p-adic integration, arithmetic geometry, representation theory and singularity theory.
Preprints:
