The low dimensional topology group consists of Doug Bullock, Uwe Kaiser, and presently three visiting professors: Alexander Felshtyn, Yong Hou and Rama Mishra.
Doug Bullock's interests are quantum topology, quantum algebra and representation theory, with particular emphasis on applications to knot theory and the topology of 3-manifolds.
Uwe Kaiser's interests are the topology of manifolds, including embeddings, immersions and singularities of maps; in particular 3-dimensional topology: theory of knots and links, quantum topology; related homotopy theory and algebra (quantum groups, combinatorial group theory).
Our visiting professors are working in combinatorial group theory, knot theory and low dimensional topology.
The low dimensional topology group runs a weekly seminar on different topics reflecting the interests of the topologists at Boise State University. Graduate Students are welcome to participate in these activities.
