Federico Vigolo

Welcome to my home page (last updated in September 2026).
I am a Junior Professor in pure mathematics at the University of Göttingen and a PI of the RTG 2491 - Fourier Analysis and Spectral Theory and the DFG Research Grant The large scale geometry of high dimensional expansion.

You can write to me at: federico.vigolo at uni-goettingen dot de.


I am one of the Equal Opportunities Officers (Gleichstellungsbeauftragte) of the Mathematical Institute.


I am observing with interests the developments that AI is bringing into the field. While I welcome these powerful new tools, I remain of the idea that mathematical research should still be made for humans. I am a subscriber to the Leiden Declaration and a member of the Association for Human Mathematics.

Research interests

My main interests are in Coarse Geometry and its interaction with other subjects (operator algebras, index theory, group theory, ... ). In my work I like to mix tools of geometry, analysis and algebra.

Some specific topics I worked on are: Roe algebras; Expander Graphs; coarse Baum–Connes; coarse Groups; Actions on Metric/Measure Spaces; CAT(0) and Hyperbolic Cube Complexes.

Team

I am happy to take bachelor and master students, contact me if you are interested (see here and my Stud-Ip page for instructions and an idea of possible topics).
