Research

I'm currently interested in positive characteristic algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, with a focus on Fano geometry and the geometry of Frobenius endomorphisms. That is, I'm interested in Frobenius actions on Fano-type varieties and their singularities as well as objects and concepts defined via Frobenius actions, e.g. F-singularity theory, ordinarity, etc. My research concentrates on the study of Fano varieties and KLT singularities via globally F-regular varieties, strongly F-regular singularities, test and multiplier ideals, stringy motives, Kollár components, and étale fundamental groups. My research preprints.

Preprints and submitted papers:

• Varieties with ample Frobenius-trace kernel, w/ Zs. Patakfalvi. arXiv:2110.15035. You can watch a talk I gave about this paper at Princeton here.

• On the behavior of stringy motives under Galois quasi-étale covers, w/ T. Yasuda. arXiv:2105.05214. You can watch Takehiko's talk at ZAGS on this paper here!

You can find a copy of Ph.D. Thesis here. It is the version with working links and hyperref (I couldn't include these features in the offical version due to UUtah's particular editorial rules). The official, ProQuest's version can (possibly) be found here.
