Research interests

I am interested in the area of pure mathematics that concerns the interactions between topological dynamical systems, operator algebras, and group theory. I study symbolic dynamical systems, how they are encoded into C*-algebras, and how much dynamical stucture is remembered or lost in this encoding. Using operator algebraic tools, this allows us to derive interesting properties of the original systems.

2024 News

  • New preprint with Adam Dor-On, Roozbeh Hazrat, and Efren Ruiz on shift equivalence and the graded classification conjecture.
  • New preprint with Jeremy B. Hume and Xin Li on covers of dynamical systems.
  • I started a new job at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, in Denmark.
  • I contributed with an extended abstract for the Oberwolfach Report 12 (2024): Combinatorial *-algebras.
  • New preprint on ideal structure of reduced group C*-algebras with Chris Bruce, Kang Li, and Eduardo Scarparo.
  • The Swedish Research Council has awarded me a Starting Grant (2024-2028) for my project "Dynamics, Groups, and C*-algebras: from one to many dimensions".
  • My paper with Toke Meier Carlsen and Aidan Sims on ideal structure of groupoid C*-algebras is accepted for publication in the Journal of the London Mathematical Society.

Kevin Aguyar Brix

I am a mathematician at the University of Southern Denmark (Denmark), and I currently hold a Reintegration Fellowship from the Carlsberg Foundation (CF23-1328).

I have worked as a postdoc at Lund University (Sweden), the University of Glasgow (Scotland), and the University of Wollongong (Australia). This was funded by a Starting grant from the Swedish Research Council, an International postdoctoral grant from the Independent Research Fund Denmark and a Carlsberg Foundation Internationalisation Fellowship. I obtained my PhD in 2019 from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) as a member of the Centre for Symmetry and Deformation under the supervision of Søren Eilers.
