    Works for students and potential collaborators

    Nowadays I have several running projects. Students can request to take part in any of them so as to write Bachelor, Master, PhD dissertations or postdoc stays:

    1) Lie systems, superposition rules and integrable systems,
    2) Reduction methods and modern differential geometric structures,
    3) Energy-momentum methods,
    4) Supergeometry and super Lie group and super Lie algebra methods.
