Lukasz Grabowski

I am Professor for Theoretical Mathematics in the Maths Institute of Leipzig University. My research interests include

Discrete groups and group rings of discrete groups (in particular l2-invariants, approximations of groups and group rings by fintie groups and finite algebras)
Measured group theory, measured and Borel combinatorics (in particular expansion properties of group actions and graphings, Kazhdan property, Aldous-Lyons conjecture, equidecompositions)
Algorithms and complexity theory related to graphs and groups (for example Lovasz Local Lemma)

All my articles and preprints can be found on arxiv.

Prospective PhD students

If you are a prospective PhD student interested in working with me, please feel free to get in touch to discuss potential PhD projects.

Mathe-Zirkel for School pupils

In the summer semester 2023-24 I run meetings for school pupils focussed on math olympiad problems and techniques. The meetings are in german, on Fridays, roughly every two weeks - please send me an email to confirm the next date if you would like to participate. These are organised in cooperation with LSGM, and are meant for years 8-12.

Some downloads

Group members

Currently my group includes

PhD student Jardon Hector Sanchez (Aldous-Lyons conjecture, Kazhdan property in the context of groupoids)
PhD student Onur Bilge (Borel and measurable combinatorics)

All of them are excellent seminar speakers and would be delighted if you were to invite them to give a talk!

Former group members

Postdoc Joan Claramunt (Approximation of groups and group rings with respect to rank metric, l2-invariants, unit conjecture)
Postdoc Tomasz Ciesla (Measured and Borel combinatorics)
