This National Science Foundation project grant of $251,691 supports research in the area of topological quantum field theory at the University of Notre Dame from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025.

The grant funds a multifaceted investigation into topological field theories in dimensions three, four, and higher, using new techniques developed over the past decade. Key areas of focus include advances relating topological field theory to the classification of smooth manifolds up to stable diffeomorphism, with special emphasis on four-dimensional aspects and constructing new examples that can distinguish homotopy equivalent manifolds. Graduate students are an important part of this research program, which also includes disseminating results via lectures and workshops. The grant supports foundational mathematics research expected to lead to new techniques and interactions across fields, with potential applications in physics. This award advances the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
