Background

Adrian Vasiu's area of research is arithmetic algebraic geometry, a common part of number theory, algebra and geometry. He is very much interested in moduli spaces, group schemes, Lie algebras, formal group schemes, representation theory, cohomology theories, Galois theory, and the classification of projective, smooth, connected varieties. 

His research is focused on:

1. Shimura varieties of Hodge type (which are moduli spaces of polarized abelian varieties endowed with Hodge cycles),
2. arithmetic properties of abelian schemes,
3. classification of pp-divisible groups,
4. representations of Lie algebras and reductive group schemes,
5. crystalline cohomology of large classes of polarized varieties, and
6. Galois representations associated with abelian varieties.
