Algebra, Algebraic Geometry & Combinatorics
Mathematicians use algebra to represent symmetries and other patterns and to perform calculations that reveal geometric and other structures.
Algebra research in the department includes programs involving combinatorics, representation theory, Lie theory, algebraic geometry,
group theory, coding theory, and cryptography.

Leo Herr , bioMy work is in algebraic geometry. I study varieties using extra combinatorial data called logarithmic structures which enrich and compactify ordinary varieties as a middleman between schemes and tropical geometry. Log structures help to count curves, study intersections, and construct cohomology theories and invariants that behave well for singular varieties and normal crossings pairs.
