Scholar-generated biography
Sebastian Hurtado is a mathematician at Yale University specializing in areas of mathematics related to dynamics, rigidity, and group actions. His research focuses on Zimmer’s conjecture, measure rigidity, and properties of Lie groups, particularly in the context of non-uniform lattices and semi-simple Lie groups. He investigates the non-left-orderability of lattices, homomorphisms of diffeomorphism groups, and the global rigidity of group actions on surfaces. His work also explores the Burnside problem, homotopy types of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces, and the topological complexity of such spaces. Additionally, he examines distortion and Tits alternative in smooth mapping class groups, as well as height gaps and almost laws in linear algebraic groups.
