The University of Illinois was awarded a $175,048 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research on geometric and dynamical aspects of random walks and percolation on discrete and dense subgroups of Lie groups. Key products and services to be delivered through this funding include using algebraic and dynamical methods to study the structure of arithmetic subgroups of semisimple Lie groups and irreducible subgroups of product groups; establishing generic absolute continuity and further regularity properties of random walks through spectral gap methods; generalizing the notion of expansion strength to infinite groups relating to algebraic structure; and studying percolation on Cayley graphs of finitely generated groups from geometric group theory, especially on hyperbolic groups. This award is aligned with the NSF's mission to promote progress in mathematics and physical sciences.
