Research Interests
- Constructive foundations of:
- analysis: in particular, functional analysis (including Banach algebras and operator algebras), measure theory, operator theory,approximation theory, real and complex analysis;
- topology: the axiomatic theory of apartness between sets.
- Mathematical economics: the numerical representation of preference relations; demand functions; equilibrium theory; constructive methods.
- Computability and abstract complexity theory.
- Quantum logic and operator-theoretic foundations of physics.
