Gus Schrader is a mathematician whose research focuses on Representation theory, quantum groups, cluster algebras, and mathematical physics. His work explores deep connections between these areas, particularly through the lens of quantum character varieties, tensor categories, and integrable systems. Schrader's publications include studies on cluster realizations, quantum decorated character stacks, and wavefunctions in the context of Gromov-Witten theory. His research also addresses topics such as the chromatic Lagrangian, XXZ scalar products, and integrable systems arising from the classical reflection equation. Schrader's contributions highlight the interplay between algebraic structures and physical models, advancing our understanding of quantum symmetries and their applications.
