Welcome to my website!

I am Anwoy Maitra, currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics, IIT Madras.

I work in Several Complex Variables (SCV), also known as multidimensional complex analysis, which is ordinary complex analysis, as learnt at the bachelor’s or master’s level, carried out in dimensions $d\ge 2$. Several new and interesting phenomena arise in this more general context, and studying subjects in SCV usually involves a mixture of analysis, geometry, topology, functional analysis, and, sometimes, metric geometry. It is with this last ingredient that most of my work is concerned. Specifically, I work mostly on problems dealing with (or involving) various invariant or intrinsic metrics in SCV.
