Research of Tomaž Košir
Research interests
My
interests are in applications of algebra (commutative and associative) and
algebraic geometry to the problems in linear algebra and partial differential equations.
Major part of my published work is in multiparameter spectral theory, but I am
also interested in a number of related problems in the areas of commuting
matrices, commuting varieties, representations of commutative zero-dimensional
algebras, matrix groups and semigroups,
and others. My interests were greatly influenced by concrete applied
problems. I also help in developing numerical algorithms that can be applied to
such problems.

Help in organizing meetings
IN ALGEBRA:
We are
organizing a Linear Algebra Workshop (LAW) in Slovenia, every third year since
1996. The 6th LAW will be held in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia,
May
25-June 1, 2011. The 4th LAW was held in
conjunction with the Conference in Honor of Heydar Radjavi’s 70th
Birthday in Bled, Slovenia, in May 2005.
IN FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS:
I also helped organizing the Summer school in financial
mathematics in Ljubljana in September 2009,
and I am a member of the organizing committee of the 5th General Conference in
Advanced Mathematical Methods in Finance that will take place in Bled, Slovenia,
May 4 – 8, 2010. It is organized as a part of the AMaMeF scientific program sponsored
by the European Science Foundation (ESF).
IN ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY:
With
researchers from the Universities of Trieste and
Udine,
and SISSA with ICTP we organize one day
meetings in Algebraic Geometry. TULS
I in 2003 and TULS IV in 2006 were held in Ljubljana.
