Manuel Rivera works in algebraic topology, a branch of mathematics that studies the shapes of spaces using algebraic tools. His research develops algebraic models—built from structures called coalgebras and chain complexes—for understanding loop spaces and path spaces, which capture information about how loops and paths can be continuously deformed within a given space. This work connects to string topology, an area that studies algebraic operations on spaces of loops, and to homotopy theory more broadly.
Publication output has grown from about 1 paper per year in 2017 to a steady pace of 4-6 papers per year from 2022-2024, averaging just under 4 per year over the last five years.
