About:
Andrei Jaikin-Zapirain is a Research Professor at the Institute of Mathematics. In 1995 he finished his undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of the Moscow State University. He achieved his Ph.D. in 2001 at the University of the Basque Country.
He worked at the Autonomous University of Madrid from 2000 to 2025.
The mathematical interests of Andrei Jaikin-Zapirain have developed from the study of group theoretical questions about finite and profinite groups to interactions of group theory with other areas of mathematics like topology or number theory. His work is characterized by the strong use of ring-theoretical methods. His recent results about L2-Betti numbers and mod-p L2-Betti numbers have found unexpected applications in the solutions of the Hanna Neumann conjecture and the Baumslag conjecture.
