Research groups

Algebra, Geometry, Topology, and Combinatorics

The research group in algebra, geometry, topology, and combinatorics is active in several areas of these fields including, commutative and homological algebra, complex and real algebraic geometry as well as arithmetic geometry, homotopy theory, Ramsey theory and a number of other topics.

Read more about
Mathematical analysis

Mathematical analysis deals generally with problems that involve questions like how does a quantity develop, that is, how does it depend on variables/parameters? In our group we are mainly working in operator theory, in particular, differential operators, as well as in complex analysis.

Mathematical logic

Logic as an academic subject is the study of reasoning, and mathematical logic is the study of mathematical reasoning in its various precise forms. This research group is active in several areas of the field including, constructive mathematics, type theory and category-theoretic logic, as well as the philosophical aspects of logic and mathematics.

Research projects

Generic vanishing and characterization of semi-abelian varieties

This is a project in algebraic geometry, the branch of mathematics which studies geometric objects arising from algebraic ones, such as solutions of polynomial equations. The proposal revolves around a central theme within algebraic geometry: the classification problem.

Three figures: a sphere, a torus (donut shape) and one like two donuts glued together like an 8.
Unknown properties of abstract geometric objects

This is a project in algebraic geometry, the branch of mathematics which is concerned with the study of geometric objects that can be described through polynomial equations. These are called (algebraic) varieties.

Research

Courses and programmes

The first year or so of mathematics studies at Stockholm University is in Swedish, so our bachelor's programmes in the subject are only available to students who meet the Swedish requirements. However, if you have studied some mathematics already, you may be eligible to take courses at higher bachelor's level, which are usually given in English, and can be taken as separate courses.

We also have a master's programme in mathematics, given together with KTH, which is open to international students.

Doctoral studies

We have a PhD programme in mathematics with about 20 PhD students, and we usually announce new positions in March or April each year.

Grain at any price: New project investigates food supply variations in early modern Europe

In a new research project, Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist, together with researchers from three different disciplines, will investigate and explain the relationship between grain prices and food stress in various parts of Europe from the 16th century to the 18th century.
