Research Activities

I work on rings of differential operators and their modules, especially the ring of differential operators on an affine toric variety and the system of A-hypergeometric equations whose systematic study was started by Gelfand, Kapranov, and Zelevinsky.

As an algebraic torus acts on these objects, they have some combinatorial descriptions, and they are related to various subjects such as integer programming, hyperplane arrangements, and representation theory. I mostly study them from the combinatorial features.
