Paul Arne Østvær is a Norwegian mathematician specialized in abstract homotopy theory. Paul Arne used Quillen model categories to study questions in algebraic topology, operator algebras and algebraic geometry. In algebraic geometry this includes $A^1$-homotopy theory, motives, and even noncommutative motives. In operator algebras he introduced a Quillen model structure on certain category of cubical presheaves on a category of operator algebras.
