Research
Research Field: Geometric Topology, Dimension Theory and Topological Manifolds
Garity is involved in the study of the relationship between topological manifolds and homology manifolds. He introduced a new way of measuring the complexity of homology manifolds and developed constructions producing new kinds of homology manifolds. More recently, he has been investigating properties of infinite dimensional spaces. He has developed constructions in the Hilbert cube which parallel certain finite dimensional constructions. He is currently working on infinite dimensional examples analogous to his earlier examples of homology manifolds.
