Research topics
My research concerns the following fields: the theory of symmetric spaces, harmonic analysis, non-commutative geometry and mathematical physics. I am particularly interested in the interactions between curvature and the theory of deformations in a non-formal setting.
My current work has three main directions. First, I develop geometric methods essentially coming from symmetric spaces and from representation theory with the aim of obtaining non-commutative spaces in the sense of A. Connes by non-formal quantization in a framework of operator algebras. An important tool is a generalization to solvable Lie groups of the deformation method of M.A. Rieffel for the actions of $ {\ mathbb R} ^ d $.
Second, in the context of semisimple symplectic symmetric spaces, I study certain applications in harmonic analysis of quantization by covariant deformations. Third, through collaborations with physicists, I consider, in the context of $ C ^ \ star $ - algebras, the problem posed by the definition of non-commutative D-branes in a string theory evolving in a curved space-time, such as a locally anti-Sitter causal black hole.

Research topics
- Study of exactly solvable quantum spin chains, in particular the Heisenberg XXZ model. These models provide simple descriptions of quantum magnetism and their rich mathematical structure allows exact correlation functions to be computed.
- Combinatorial statistical physics: relationships between vertex models on two-dimensional networks and the enumeration of combinatorial objects such as alternating-sign matrices and plane partitions.
- Exact supersymmetry in spin chains and related mathematical structures such as (co-)homology.
- Conformal logarithmic theories: general aspects (including that of undecomposable Virasoro modules) and application to statistical models on a network (sandpile model, dimers, loop models).
- Study of the algebraic structures underlying the integrability and conformal properties of critical network models.
- Universal properties (arctic curves, correlations) in the tiling of domains by simple tiles, such as rectangles or diamonds.
