Merlin Christ

I am a PhD student (since April 2020) in mathematics in the Quantum Universe Research School . My supervisor is Tobias Dyckerhoff. My pronouns are he/him.

Research interests:
Higher categorical structures in categorification, representation theory, Fukaya categories. Applications to the categorification of cluster algebras.
More specifically, I am currently studying perverse schobers on surfaces (certain sheaves/cosheaves of enhanced triangulated categories) and their applications.

Publications and preprints:

• Geometric models for the derived categories of Ginzburg algebras of n-angulated surfaces via local-to-global principles (video)
  arXiv:2107.10091
• Ginzburg algebras of triangulated surfaces and perverse schobers
  Forum Math. Sigma, 10:e8, 2022, doi:10.1017/fms.2022.1 (open access) arXiv:2101.01939
• Spherical monadic adjunctions of stable infinity categories
  arXiv:2010.05294. Submitted.
