Leonid Ryvkin

Mathematician · Maître de conférences in Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1

I am a mathematician working in differential geometry and mathematical physics. My research interests include multisymplectic geometry, singular foliations, simplicial and graded manifolds. I am a Maître de conférences (Assistant/ Associate professor) at the Institut Camille Jordan of the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1.

From 01. April 2024 to 31. March 2025, I am on a research stay at the mathematical institute of the University of Göttingen.

Puzzles and hunts

Scavenger Hunt

Alfonso Garmendia and I have created a scavenger hunt for the participants of the SFARS seminar, that we organize. It is still available here, the access code to start the hunt is "Request Mission".

Pen-and-Paper adventure

Josef Adamčík, Anna Marklová and I created an adventure for the Mausritter Pen-and-Paper role plaing game. It is called Chrismous Forever and can be downloaded here here. The rules of the basic game are available here.

A few elementary riddles and excercises

I know some of the following from Benjamin Böhme, who in turn credits Wim Martens. If you know a source I should refer to for some of them, please let me know.
