Research

My research interests include reverse mathematics and computability theory, among other things such as algorithmic randomness and automata theory.  Here are my slides for a talk I gave on my research at the 2009 Joint Mathematics Meetings in Washington, D.C.  Here are my slides for an expository talk about algorithmic randomness I gave at the New York Graduate Student Logic Conference in 2007.  Here are my slides from my oral examination, which was about automata on infinite trees.

If you're into geology, check out my good friend Richard Becker's website.


If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Frank Warner's Foundations of Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups.

I give a clear, detailed, and careful development of the basic facts on manifold theory and Lie Groups. I include differentiable manifolds, tensors and differentiable forms. Lie groups and homogenous spaces, integration on manifolds, and in addition provide a proof of the de Rham theorem via sheaf cohomology theory, and develop the local theory of elliptic operators culminating in a proof of the Hodge theorem. Those interested in any of the diverse areas of mathematics requiring the notion of a differentiable manifold will find me extremely useful.
