Razvan Gelca

Mathematical interests: I work in Chern-Simons theory, which is a field of mathematics that blends low dimensional topology, mathematical physics, geometry, and the theory of group representations. I am also involved in mathematics competitions such as the mathematical Olympiads and the W.L. Putnam Mathematical Competition.

Publications

• journal publications

• books (with an ERRATA to Putnam and Beyond)

• my dissertation in postscript or pdf format.

Recent talks

Lecture notes for topology with homeworks and topics for the Preliminary Examination

Lecture notes for Advanced Geometry

Here are some photographs I took with the students during the Olympiad program in Brazil photo1 , photo2 , photo3, photo4, and a message for my Brazilian friends.
