Project Grant 2101925

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences provides $208,666 to Amherst College for research titled "RUI: ARBOREAL GALOIS GROUPS AND NONARCHIMEDEAN DYNAMICS" from July 2021 through June 2024. The award supports research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Specifically, the funding enables Amherst College researchers to investigate arboreal Galois groups and nonarchimedean dynamics, advancing theoretical mathematics with potential long-term benefits for science and technology.
