My name is Piotr Koszmider, since the second semester of 2010/11 I have been working
at the Mathematical Institute of the Polish of Academy of Sciences.
I was born in Łód where I graduated from
XXXI LO High School in 1983. After
graduating from
University of Warsaw in 1988.
I left Poland and since then I had been working abroad
(Canada, Israel, USA, Brasil). In 2007 I came back to Poland.

What I do |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- create concepts which help me to discover new mathematical truths,
- publish the results of these discoveries
in international mathematical journals or as
chapters of books. Before that, they circulate as preprints
- do
research projects which are financed by governmental agencies
- supervise master's dissertations
- supervise Ph. D. Theses
- do projects with undergraduate students
- have classes with graduate students
- have classes with undergraduate students
- organize conferences
- participate in conferences
- visit other mathematical centers and present my work there and collaborate
- receive visits to collaborate with mathematicians of other centers

Research Interests |

|
|

|

|

|
|
-
Set-theoretic methods in C*-algebras, especially nonseparable approximatelly finite-dimensional algebras,
scattered C*-algebras, the Calkin algebra.
-
Set-theoretic methods in Banach spaces and the algebras of operators acting on them, especially Banach spaces of continuous functions
In particular I am interested in
the structure of complemented subspaces, biorthogonal systems, and linear
operators. I use mainly infinitary methods, sometimes forcing.
- Applications of forcing.
- Combinatorial set theory, among others, combinatorial principles
which hold in L, and principles which follow from the existence of large cardinals
- Boolean algebras and compact spaces via the Stone duality in the contet of functional analysis.
In particular, cardinal functions on Boolean algebras. Dual balls with weak* topology.
Radon measures on compact spaces as linear functionals on the spaces of continuous
functions considered with weak* or weak topology.
- Independence and consistency proofs. Undecidability of
interesting analytic, algebraic or topological problems
