Jean-François Lafont works in geometric group theory and geometric topology, studying negatively curved (hyperbolic) spaces, manifolds, and the symmetry groups that act on them. His work explores questions of rigidity (when geometric structure is determined by algebraic or topological data), the classification of hyperbolic groups and their boundaries, and dynamical properties of geodesic flows on curved spaces. This research is highly theoretical and connects topology, geometry, and dynamical systems.
Publication output peaked around 2017-2019, then slowed to roughly one to two papers per year in recent years, with a slight uptick in 2025.
