R. Inanc Baykur

Research Interests

Geometry and Topology

Prof. Baykur's research interests range over low dimensional geometry and topology, with a focus on smooth 4-manifolds. He is interested in constructions of contact structures on 3-manifolds, and (exotic) smooth, symplectic, and complex structures on 4-manifolds, as well as in descriptions and study of 4-manifolds via various singular fibrations, where Gauge theory and mapping class groups play vital roles.
