Francis Wagner

Francis Wagner is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University. His research focuses on the study of infinite discrete groups, utilizing topological, combinatorial, and graph theoretic tools to explore the relationship between geometric properties of groups and algorithmic properties. His work addresses topics such as computational complexity and mathematical models of computing machines. Wagner's research includes studies on torsion subgroups, malnormal subgroups, and the complexity of word and conjugacy problems in groups. He has contributed to publications in areas such as geometric group theory and has collaborated on works related to S-machines and hyperbolic Kac-Moody groups.
