Momchil Konstantinov

I recently completed my PhD at the London School of Geometry and Number Theory. I was based at UCL where my supervisor was Dr. Jonny Evans. You can find my CV here.

Research

My doctoral research was in the field of symplectic geometry. I spent most of my time thinking about the topology and intersection patterns of Lagrangian submanifolds of complex projective space. I was particularly interested in so called "twistor Lagrangians" - ones which are mapped to maximal totally complex submanifolds of quaternionic projective space under the twistor fibration. You can find out more about these in my thesis (this version of my thesis differs slightly from the official one and might change as I discover and correct typos; you can find the official version at UCL discovery).

  Here are some slides from that talk giving a glimpse of symlectic topology. And here is an extended version with pictures of holomorphic curves.
