Thiago Brevidelli Garcia
Welcome to my academic home page! I’m currently a graduate student in pure mathematics at the University of São Paulo (IME-USP), Brazil. I’m involved in the organization of two student run academic groups, the S4 group and the A5 group. My main interests at the moment are representation theory, specifically Lie theory, as well as differential geometry and adjacent fields.
Stuff I wrote
- Lie Algebras & their Representations
-
My undergraduate dissertation on the representation theory of Lie algebras, with an emphasis in the classification of irreducible representations of finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebras (PDF)
- Notes on representation theory (under construction)
-
My personal thoughts on representation theory (of groups and Lie algebras) — which is what I currently study — with an emphasis in the beautiful interplay between the algebraic and the geometric (PDF)
- Global Analysis & the Banach Manifold of Class Curves
-
Riemannian Geometry course project on the manifold of class curves on a Riemannian manifold and its applications to the geodesics problem. (PDF)
- Forcing in Topos (Portuguese)
-
Set Theory course project (with Gabriel Bassan, Guilherme Sobreira and Guilherme Cerqueira) on Lawvere’s formulation of Cohen’s forcing method in the context of elementary topoi (PDF)
- An essay on the 3-sphere and some its quotients
-
Short notes on the 3-dimensional sphere, its group structure and some of its quotients by finite subgroups of its center, such as the projective space (PDF)
