Yair Glasner's Home page

I am a Lecturer at the Department of mathematics at Ben Gurion university of the Negev in Israel.

My main areas of interest are Arboral group theory, Graph theory, p-adic Lie groups and their lattices. My Ph.D. is from the institute of mathematics of the Hebrew university in Jerusalem. My advisor was Prof. Shahar Mozes.

Here is my curriculum vitae including a short history, and a few Family photos.
