About Lawrence

Associate Professor Lawrence Reeves serves in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science, at the University of Melbourne. He completed his Bachelor of Science with Honours and PhD at the University of Melbourne, with his doctoral thesis entitled "Biautomatic structures and combinatorics for cube complexes" in 1995. Reeves specializes in geometric group theory, focusing on areas such as Coxeter groups, Thompson groups, JSJ decompositions of groups, and automatic groups. His scholarly contributions include publications like "Irrational-slope versions of Thompson's groups T and V" (Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, 2022), "An irrational-slope Thompson's group" (co-authored with José Burillo and Brita Nucinkis), arXiv preprints on dominance and regularity in Coxeter groups (2019 and 2018), "A combination theorem for strong relative hyperbolicity" (Geometry & Topology, 2008, co-authored with Mahan Mj), "The geometry of cube complexes and the complexity of their fundamental groups" (1998), "Uniform non-amenability" (2005), and contributions to the book on JSJ decompositions of groups with co-authors Scott and Swarup. His work has garnered over 500 citations as per academic profiles.
