Arun Debray works at the intersection of algebraic topology and theoretical physics, using tools like bordism theory, cohomology, and homotopy theory to study symmetries and topological phases in physics. His research addresses questions such as anomaly cancellation in string theory, classification of topological phases of matter, and invertible quantum field theories. This work bridges pure mathematics with problems arising in high-energy and condensed matter physics.
