Rate My Professor Martin Gallauer

Martin Gallauer serves as an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Institute at the University of Warwick since 2022. His academic career includes a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn from 2021 to 2022, a Titchmarsh Research Fellowship at the University of Oxford from 2018 to 2021, and a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professorship at the University of California, Los Angeles from 2015 to 2018. Gallauer received his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Zurich in 2015, supervised by Joseph Ayoub, as well as an MS in Mathematics and an MA in Philosophy from the same university in 2011. Currently at Warwick, he teaches the Geometry and Algebraic Topology modules.

Gallauer's research centers on algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and representation theory, encompassing motivic theory, tensor-triangular geometry, homotopy theory, rigid-analytic geometry, and modular representation theory. His publications feature prominently in top-tier journals. Key contributions include 'The Universal Six-Functor Formalism' with Brad Drew in Annals of K-Theory (2022), 'The Six-Functor Formalism for Rigid Analytic Motives' with Joseph Ayoub and Alberto Vezzani in Forum of Mathematics, Sigma (2022), 'Finite Permutation Resolutions' with Paul Balmer in Duke Mathematical Journal (2023), 'Permutation Modules and Cohomological Singularity' with Paul Balmer in Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici (2022), 'Three Real Artin-Tate Motives' with Paul Balmer in Advances in Mathematics (2022), 'An Isomorphism of Motivic Galois Groups' with Utsav Choudhury in Advances in Mathematics (2017), 'tt-Geometry of Tate Motives over Algebraically Closed Fields' in Compositio Mathematica (2019), 'Supports for Constructible Systems' in Documenta Mathematica (2022), and 'A Note on Tannakian Categories and Mixed Motives' in Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society (2021). Recent preprints address 'Patch-Density in Tensor-Triangular Geometry' with Paul Balmer, 'The Spectrum of Artin Motives' with Paul Balmer, and 'Motivic Monodromy and p-adic Cohomology Theories' with Federico Binda and Alberto Vezzani. He has also authored 'An Introduction to Six-Functor Formalisms' in Open Book Series (2025) and 'Permutation Modules, Mackey Functors, and Artin Motives' with Paul Balmer in Representations of Algebras and Related Structures (2023).
