Research Interest
Professor Fauntleroy studies actions of algebraic groups on projective
algebraic varieties and applications of these to classification and
moduli problems in algebraic geometry. Special interest include the
study of
complete intersections on toric varieties and the use of invariant
theory
to find canonical forms for such varieties. Secondary interests include
complex manifolds, differential geometry and symmetric spaces.
