Hi! My name is Max and I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student at Yale University, studying geometric representation theory. I am advised by Sam Raskin!

I did my B.S. and M.A. at UCLA. We don’t officially have advisors in undergrad at UCLA, but I worked with Raphaël Rouquier unoffcially.

Interests

I am interested in geometric representation theory broadly, and specifically interested in W-algebras, vertex algebras, and Kac-Moody representations at the critical level, in the context of the geometric Langlands programme. I am currently learning about W-algebras and relations to the geometric Langlands programme.

Some Fun Tools

• π-base
• Magma
• ATLAS

What I’m Reading

• Langlands Correspondence for Loop Groups
• W-Algebras and Whittaker Categories
• Vertex Algebras and Algebraic Curves (Ben-Zvi–Frenkel)
• (Soon) Chiral Algebras (Beilinson-Drinfeld)
• (Someday) Proof of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture

To be expanded!
