Arthur Pander Maat
I am currently a fourth-year PhD student at Queen Mary's University of London, being supervised by Behrang Noohi (QMUL) and Ivo Dell'Ambrogio (Université de Lille).
In 2018 I completed a 4-year MMath degree at the University of Oxford.
I can be reached at a.j.m.pandermaat[at]qmul[dot]ac[dot]uk.
Research interests
My interests lie in non-commutative geometry, homotopy theory, and category theory. Specifically, at the moment I am thinking about:
Different homotopical models for C*-algebras and -categories
Properties of semicategories and their multipliers
Representing groupoids in C*-categories
Adjunctions (or conjugacies) of Hilbert modules
Writing by me
Hilbert modules over C∗-categories: this is a preprint based on the first chapters of my thesis.
Here is my master's dissertation on the Atiyah-Segal completion theorem, supervised by André Henriques.
Talks
Below is a list of talks I've given:
Hilbert modules over C*-categories, NYC NCG seminar. Slides, Video. This is a more extended presentation of my thesis material, along with some new work on the same topic.
The Eilenberg-Watts theorem and Morita theory over C*-categories, NSeaG conference 2023, Bonn. Video recording. This is a (hopefully accessible) summary of my thesis results so far in under 30 minutes.
