I am Sven Raum, working as associate professor at Stockholm University in Sweden. My research focuses on the interaction between operator algebras, group theory and representation theory. The major link between these topics is created by group operator algebras, such as the reduced group C*-algebras and the group von Neumann algebra. Both can be associated with arbitrary locally compact groups. Other relevant topics for my work are C*-tensor categories, quantum groups, topolgical dynamics, ergodic theory and totally disconnected locally compact groups.
Besides research mathematics, I enjoy thinking about didactics of higher education. In my free time, I like learning languages, doing sports and cooking.
Due to the Corona pandemic, our seminar on Harmonic Analysis, Operator Algebras and Representation Theory (pronounced "Howard") is currently suspended in favor of Wednesday's Zoom Seminar.
