Research Interests
My research interests broadly lie in the connections among stable homotopy theory, higher algebra and algebraic geometry like chromatic homotopy theory, elliptic cohomology, and spectral algebraic geometry (SAG). Specifically, I am interested in orientations from Thom spectra, rewritings of stable homotopy theory by higher algebra, reformulations of chromatic homotopy theory by SAG, and spectral moduli problems.
Talks and slides
- $\infty$-topoi and parametrized homotopy theory
Graduate Topology Seminar at SUSTech, 2024/6/17 - Picard $\infty$-groupoids, Picard groups of $E_\infty$-rings and generalized Thom spectra
Graduate Topology Seminar at SUSTech, 2024/4/23
In this talk, we will introduce the Picard $\infty$-groupoids and calculate Picard groups of several $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-rings, like K-theory spectra and topological modular forms. Besides, we also introduce how to generalize the Thom spectrum functor into any presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category, by using the universal property of Picard $\infty$-groupoids. - Barr-Beck Theorem, Morita theory and Brauer groups in $\infty$-categories
Graduate Topology Seminar at SUSTech, 2024/3/19
In this talk, we will introduce the $\infty$-categorical version of the Barr-Beck theorem, Morita theory and Brauer groups. And we will see that the Brauer group $\operatorname{Br}(\mathbb{S})$ of the sphere spectrum is zero using the spectral sequence involving the etale cohomology by Antieau–Gepner’s work in 2012. - An overview of $\infty$-categories and higher algebra

Notes
- Copointedlization and costabilization
A concrete model of costabilization - Elliptic cohomology theories and the $\sigma$-orientation
Ando-Hopkins-Strickland found a special orientation from $MU\langle 6\rangle$ to elliptic cohomology theories, called $\sigma$-orientation. In this note we will give both topological and algebro-geometric settings of $\sigma$-orientation. Furthermore, we will introduce the precise definitions of formal groups, line bundles on a formal group, and particularly the $n$-connective cover of an $E_{\infty}$-space, which seems not well-described in ordinary references. - Postnikov-type convergence in $\infty$-categorical framework
Lurie introduced an $\infty$-categorical framework for the postnikov tower in a presentable $\infty$-category in his HTT. Here we will generalize it to the case of any ascending sequence of reflective full subcategories in an $\infty$-category. - The Right Adjunction of Thom spectrum Functor
A specific description of the right adjoint functor to Thom spectrum functor, which is given by the total space of a fiber bundle with fibers infinite loop spaces. - Notes on elliptic curves and abelian varieties
This note will provide an introduction to formal groups, elliptic curves and abelian varieties. We first how to get a natural formal group from a smooth group variety. Second we prove that any elliptic curve admits a natural structure of group variety by a technique about relative effective Cartier divisor. After that, we introduce étale-local decomposition and the quotient scheme. In the last chapter we will see that elliptic curves are exactly abelian varieties of $\operatorname{dim}=1$ and that any abelian variety is automatically commutative, smooth and projective. Furthermore we can see that the group structure on an abelian variety is unique under a prescribed unit.
