Till August 2021, I was an Infosys Posdoctoral fellow at Chennai Mathematical Institute. From November 2018 to October 2020, I was a  postdoc in Hausel group  at IST Austria.  Before that I was a PhD student of Prof. Dr. Hélène Esnault at Freie Universität Berlin.  And even before that I was a BS-MS student at IISER Mohali, India.

Reserach Interests

The question that I am really curious about:

Which geometrical properties of an algebraic variety  can be determined by its derived category of coherent sheaves?

Attempts to answer this question has related a lot of fields of mathematics ranging from differential geometry, algebraic geometry, representation theory to number theory  and even to physics, notably string theory.  

Spending more years on earth and in an IIT, I have developed an interest now in Roboitics and Algorthmic Algebraic Geometry as well.

Preprints

  • An example for Kuznetsov-Shinder conjecture, ArXiv Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.00648

We give an example for the Kuznetsov-Shinder conjecture, with infinitely many non-isomorphic D-equivalent and L-equivalent varieties.

Under Preparation

  • Fully Faithfulness Criterion for Functors of (Twisted) Derived Categories, joint with Katrina Honigs.

We give another proof for the Caldararu’s criterion of checking when a twisted Fourier-Mukai functor gives an equivalence and we are working on extending a modified version of this criterion to positive characteristic and even more generally to the setting of smooth proper Deligne Mumford stacks in positive characteristic, the coarse moduli space of such stacks can have at worst quotient singularities, which being in positive characteristic need not be even Cohen Macaulay, unlike in the case of characteristic zero.
