Topology

Marco Manetti (born 1966) is full professor in geometry at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy). His research activity concerns algebraic geometry, deformation theory and higher algebraic structures. He is author of the books "Topologia'' (Italian, 2008,2014), "Topology'' (2015) and "Lie methods in deformation theory'' (2022), all of them published with Springer.
