Kıvanç Ersoy

I am a Privatdozent at the FU Berlin Institut für Mathematik, and I also serve as the subject editor of the areas of group theory, topological and Lie groups in zbMATH Open.

Last year I worked at Technische Universität Dresden as a Vertretungsprofessor. Here is my webpage at TU Dresden.

I am interested in simple groups of Lie type, finite and locally finite groups and their automorphisms, linear algebraic groups, profinite groups, existentially closed groups and their generalizations.

About

My research interests include simple groups of Lie type, finite and locally finite groups, automorphisms of groups, linear algebraic groups, profinite groups, existentially closed groups, and their generalizations.

You can find a summary of my research in my Habilitation thesis and further academic information in my CV.
