Galyna V. Livshyts

Welcome to my webpage! I am an Associate professor at the Mathematics Department at Georgia Institute of Technology. I completed my Ph.D. at Kent State University in 2015, where I was fortunate to be advised by Artem Zvavitch. In the Fall 2017 I was a postdoctoral scholar at the MSRI program in Geometric and Functional Analysis, where I was fortunate to be mentored by Boaz Klartag.

I work in Asymptotic Analysis and Convexity, which means that I like a lot the following areas of math: High-dimensional Probability, Functional inequalities and convexity principles, Concentration of measure phenomena, Geometric Analysis, Random matrix theory, Harmonic Analysis, Discrete and Combinatorial geometry. Sometime ago I designed a topics course in Concentration of Measure Phenomena and Convexity, in which I presented my view of the field. The lecture notes contain a number of new results. See also my Research Statement for the outline of my mathematical achievemnts and interests.

This research is supported by NSF-BSF DMS-2247834 at the amount of $473, 736.00, in collaboration with Liran Rotem from Technion University.

In the 2025-2026 year I am on a sabbatical at the Technion, supported by the Lady Davis Fellowship.

In December 2024 I gave a lecture for general public titled ``High-dimensional phenomena'' at Hausdorff Institute of Mathematics in Bonn, Germany. Here is the video; I used these slides as well as these cool plug-ins (developed by others): tesseract explorer and cube spinner.

In the Fall 2023 I taught a graduate topics course in Concentration of Measure phenomenon and Convexity, see in particular the class notes which will continue to be actively updated. In the Spring 2024 I taught a graduate course in High-Dimensional Probability, see also the class notes. While the two courses are independent of one another, they also complement one another, and the notes will be eventually unified. Here are the lecture notes of summer schools given at ICMU in June 2025 and Montreal in July 2025.
