Selman Akbulut (born 1949) is a Turkish mathematician and a Professor at Michigan State University. His research is in topology.

Career

In 1975 he earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley as a student of Robion Kirby. In topology, he has worked on handlebody theory, low-dimensional manifolds [1], symplectic topology, G2 manifolds. In the topology of real-algebraic sets, he and Henry C. King proved that every compact piecewise-linear manifold is a real-algebraic set; they discovered new [https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0202086/ topological invariants of real-algebraic sets].[2]

He was a visiting scholar several times at the Institute for Advanced Study (in 1975-76, 1980–81, 2002, and 2005).[3]

Contributions

He has developed 4-dimensional handlebody techniques, settling conjectures and solving problems about 4-manifolds, such as a conjecture of Christopher Zeeman,[4] the Harer–Kas–Kirby conjecture, a problem of Martin Scharlemann,[5] and problems of Sylvain Cappell and Julius Shaneson.[6][7][8]

He constructed an exotic compact 4-manifold (with boundary) from which he discovered "Akbulut corks".[9][10][11][12]

His most recent results concern the 4-dimensional smooth Poincaré conjecture.[13] He has supervised 14 Ph.D students as of 2019. He has more than 100 papers and three books published, and several books edited.
