RESEARCH INTERESTS

Hirotaka Tamanoi is primarily interested in (algebraic) topology, particularly elliptic cohomology theory which is closely related to geometry and representation theory of loop groups and loop spaces, quantum field theory, and conformal field theory. Part of the theory is motivated by physics. He is also interested in generalized Schwarzian derivatives in several variables and Moebius invariant differential operators. Professor Tamanoi's interests also include generalized hypergeometric functions in several variables which arise in conformal field theory. These functions correspond to certain graphs which describe sewing of basic hypergeometric functions.
