KONNO Hokuto

KONNO Hokuto is an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences at The University of Tokyo. His research focuses on geometry and topology, particularly gauge theory and its applications to these fields. His current work involves studying 4-dimensional gauge theory and its implications for geometry and topology, including exploring differences between homotopy groups of homeomorphism and diffeomorphism groups of 4-manifolds. He has published extensively on topics such as 4-manifolds, diffeomorphisms, and Seiberg-Witten invariants. KONNO is affiliated with the Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences and is recognized for his contributions to mathematical research.

Hokuto Konno is an Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo, specializing in Geometry and Topology. His research focuses on the interplay between differential geometry and topology, particularly in the context of 4-manifolds. He investigates topics such as Seiberg–Witten invariants, diffeomorphisms, and exotic structures. His work often involves the study of moduli spaces, characteristic classes, and Floer cohomologies. Konno's research also explores the implications of gauge theory on 4-dimensional manifolds, including the behavior of families of spin 4-manifolds and the constraints imposed by positive scalar curvature. His contributions highlight the deep connections between geometric and topological invariants in low-dimensional topology.
