This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program provides $325,855 to the University of Houston from June 2022 through May 2025. The funding supports research and training opportunities for graduate students in the theory of operator algebras generated by unitary group representations and their connections to discrete group structure.

Specifically, the principal investigator will investigate new operator algebraic rigidity phenomena for discrete groups in terms of their C*-algebras. This includes several conjectures related to invariant subalgebras of C*-algebras and their non-commutative generalizations of normal subgroups. The work also aims to further develop the boundary theory of quantum groups to address open problems regarding simplicity and unique trace properties of discrete quantum group C*-algebras. This research aims to discover additional links between structural group properties and their associated operator algebras.
