Main research interests:
Jan Rozendaal:
Jan Rozendaal's research lies at the intersection of harmonic analysis and microlocal analysis, with applications to partial differential equations. In particular, he employs Fourier integral operators to study the Lp regularity (both in fixed-time and space-time) of wave equations. He is also interested in abstract aspects of operator theory and functional analysis, especially in exploring the interplay between harmonic analysis in Banach spaces and Banach space geometry, with applications to evolution equations.
Adam Skalski:
Adam Skalski is working on the theory of operator algebras in its analytic, probabilistic, and geometric aspects, with a special focus on connections to quantum and classical groups. In particular, he has studied the approximation properties of locally compact quantum groups and their relationship with quantum convolution semigroups. Additionally, he is interested in a variety of operator algebraic questions related to the representation theory of classical and quantum groups.
Yuri Tomilov:
Yuri Tomilov's research interests center around abstract operator theory and classical analysis. They encompass applications of operator theory to evolution equations, particularly those related to asymptotics and functional calculi. In addition, he is interested in a diverse range of operator-theoretical topics with distinct origins, including similarity problems, matrix representations, fine spectral properties, orbits of operators, numerical ranges, and more. On the classical analysis side, he focuses on the theory of one complex variable and its interactions with functional analysis.
Mateusz Wasilewski:
Mateusz Wasilewski's research concerns various aspects of the theory of operator algebras. More precisely, he studies von Neumann algebras, especially approximation properties, such as amenability and Haagerup property. Recently, he started to investigate quantum graphs, noncommutative counterparts of classical graphs, which grew out of quantum information. They are inherently connected to the theory of topological quantum groups, which is also one of his interests.
Michał Wojciechowski:
Michal Wojciechowski is interested in modern applications of functional analysis to classical analysis, including harmonic analysis, partial differential operators, and analytic issues centered around convexity. In his research, he puts emphasis on the study of Banach spaces of differentiable and analytic functions, as well as geometric measure theory.

Main research interests:
Head: Prof. Dr. hab. Janusz Grabowski (Geometric structures in physics)
Is studying various algebraic and geometric structures playing a fundamental rȏle in Differential geometry and Physics. Among them are Poisson and Jacobi structures (in particular, symplectic and contact), Lie algebroids and groupoids, Courant algebroids and Dirac structures, and principles of Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formalisms – all this with applications to Geometric Mechanics, foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Information Theory, etc. The recent activity, related to the new grant WEAVE-UNISONO led by Prof. Grabowski, concentrates on graded supergeometry.
Prof. Dr. hab. Andrzej Królak (Mathematical aspects of data analysis from gravitational wave detectors)
The main activity concerns applications of methods of statistics and the theory of stochastic processes to the problem of detection of gravitational waves in the noise of the detector. Detection of gravitational waves that was achieved by LIGO detectors in the year 2015 provided confirmation of Einstein’s theory of gravity and opened a new window on the Universe. Specializing in searches for gravitational wave signals from rotating neutron stars, Prof. Królak has developed a number of theoretical algorithms and tools to perform such searches.
Dr. hab. Wojciech Kryński (Differential geometry and geometric control theory)
The research interests include differential geometry, differential equations, and geometric control theory. In particular, I work on problems in conformal geometry, integrable systems, and their applications in mathematical physics, as well as on optimality criteria in control theory.
Dr. Rouzbeh Mohseni (Differential geometry and twistor theory, contact manifolds)
The main area of his research is Riemannian differential geometry, in particular, the theory of foliations, twistor theory, and recently contact geometry.

Atul Pralhad Gothe,
About the Section:
The key words characterizing IMPAN's research in noncommutative geometry are: K-theory of operator algebras and free actions of compact quantum groups on unital C*-algebras, multi-pullback C*-algebras and free distributive lattices of ideals, index theory of Fredholm modules and spectral geometry of Dirac operators, locally compact quantum groups and universal (free) quantum groups, Hopf-cyclic homology with coefficients and Chern-Galois character, corings and monoidal categories. The assumed research strategy is to explore the feedback between solving concrete difficult problems and developing new mathematical structures. The proposed approach is to unite rather than separate different fields of mathematics by taking advantage of complementary tools that they offer. To this end, a large scale and intensive international collaboration is currently sustained and planned for the future.
A more systematic and detailed description of the aforementioned research profile is as follows:
1. K-theory of operator algebras. Computing K-theory of C*-algebras of quantum projective spaces of Toeplitz-type. Noncommutative version of the Borsuk-Ulam for a family of quantum spheres. Non-existence of Z/2-equivariant homomorphisms from a unital C*-algebra A into its unital suspension SA. Computing the K-theory of noncommutative Bieberbach manifolds. An example of a published paper in this area of research is: P. F. Baum, P. M. Hajac, R. Matthes, W. Szymański, The K-theory of Heegaard-type quantum 3-spheres, K-Theory (2005) 35:159-186.
2. Hopf-cyclic homology and Chern-Galois character. Applying new coefficients of Hopf-cyclic homology and cohomology. Studying relationships between De Rham cohomology with coefficients in flat vector bundles and cyclic homology with coefficients. Version of the local index formula of Connes-Moscovici for twisted cyclic cohomology. Extending cyclic (co)homology with coefficients from algebras to monoidal functors. Among pivotal papers for this area of research are: P. M. Hajac, M. Khalkhali, B. Rangipour, Y. Sommerhäuser, Hopf-cyclic homology and cohomology with coefficients, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 338 (2004) 667-672; T. Brzeziński, P. M. Hajac, The Chern-Galois character, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 338 (2004) 113-116.
3. Spectral geometry and index theorem. Proving an analogue of the 2-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet for spectral triples. Stability of spectral triples and regular spectral geometries. Constructing spectral triples on cross-products of C*-algebras and studying their topological properties. Studying contact structures by means of noncommutative geometry. An example of a published paper related to this area of research is: P. M. Hajac, R. Matthes, W. Szymański, Noncommutative index theory of mirror quantum spheres, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 343 (2006) 731-736.
4. Quantum group actions. Equivalence of principality of actions by compact quantum groups on unital C*-algebras and the Hopf-Galois condition for induced coactions of corresponding polynomial Hopf algebras. Applying non-contractibility of compact quantum groups to prove non-triviality of noncommutative principal bundles obtained by means of the join construction of compact quantum groups. Proving principality of piecewise principal actions. Constructing examples of quantum spaces without group structure and actions of non-compact locally compact quantum groups. Quotienting of locally compact quantum groups by their closed subgroups. Studying quantum symmetry groups of group C*-algebras, especially focused on their representation theory. In particular, classification of compact group actions on the C*-algebra of 2 by 2 matrices. Finding non-classical quantum permutations on two elements. Extending Hopf-Galois theory to monoidal categories. An example of a published paper in this area of research is: P. M. Sołtan: Examples of non-compact quantum group actions, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 372 (2010), 224-236.
5. Quantum spaces, sets, and cohomology. Noncommutative deformations of complex projective spaces glued from Toeplitz cubes and other multi-pullback constructions of algebras. Constructing a category of quantum sets (or quantum algebraic sets) and extending the contravariant adjunction between the category of sets and the category of commutative algebras to noncommutative sets and associative algebras. Generalizing the notion of a discrete (or algebraic) group to the corresponding notion making sense for quantum sets (or quantum algebraic sets). Constructing a recursive algorithm for computing genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of some Fano varieties, generalizing the formula of Kontsevich.
