Jacinta Torres
Hi! Welcome to my website. I'm an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at the Mathematical Institute of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. Since July 2022 I am PI of the SONATA grant "Algebraic Combinatorics and Geometry in Representation Theory". I am also part of the working group of Jerzy Weyman. If you are in Kraków, you are welcome to join our Algebra Seminar!
Since 2024 I am member of the Global Integration Commission of the Mexican Mathematical Society. If you are curious about that, or if you identify as a Mexican mathematician in Europe, feel free to drop me an email:)
Students
Arthur Jopek (Bachelor, 2020)
Thesis title: "Root systems on del Pezzo surfaces"
Vladyslav Zveryk (Master, 2023-2024)
Thesis title: "Atomic decomposition of crystals via diagram automorphisms"
Joanna Michalska (Bachelor student scholarship, 2023-2024)
I work in representation theory of Lie algebras and love combinatorial challenges with underlying algebraic or geometric meaning. In particular, I work in algebraic combinatorics and on problems at the crossroads between representation theory of Lie algebras, commutative algebra and geometry.
You can find an attempt at a very quick introduction to my area of research for a general audience here (disclaimer: video in Polish! ) and a slightly longer podcast episode (also in Polish) here.
My husband Maciek is also a mathematician.
