Vladimir Turaev works in mathematics, focusing on topology (the study of shapes and spaces that stay the same when stretched or bent) and its connections to algebra. Much of the research explores knots, links, and 3-dimensional spaces, and uses tools from topological quantum field theory to describe these structures algebraically. Recent work also branches into related areas such as combinatorics and even applications like phylogenetics (the study of evolutionary relationships).
Publication activity shows a large output in 2017 (partly reflecting a book/volume with many chapters) followed by a steady, lower cadence of a few papers per year through 2025.
