Research contents：The theory of modular forms and other closely related theories, including representation theory and Kac-Moody theory.
2. Combinatorics
Group people：Jingtao Zang
Research contents: A partition of a positive integer n, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers, which plays an important role in combinatorics and number theory. The spt-function counts the appearence of the smallest part for each partition. Our research are focus on the properties of the statistics on partitions and the spt-functions.

b) Analysis and applications of collective behaviors of multi-agent systems, in particular, the flocking of interacted particles, synchronization of coupled oscillators. The aim of our study is to understand how autonomous agents organize into an ordered motion using limited environmental information and interactions. We concern the dynamical properties of multi-agent systems for flocking or synchronization, and their applications in variant subjects such as transient stability of power grids, formation control, and pattern recognition.
