This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $104,011 provides funding from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024 to support research in differential topology at Rutgers University-Newark. The award is made under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in mathematics and the physical sciences.

Specifically, the funding will support research into complex plane curves and their applications in 4-dimensional topology. The principal investigator and their team will develop new techniques to study when knots in 3-dimensional space bound disks or other low-genus surfaces in 4-dimensional space. They will also investigate the uniqueness of embedded surfaces in 4-manifolds and which smooth surfaces in complex manifolds are isotopic to complex curves. Undergraduate students will have opportunities to engage in this research. Outcomes from this work have the potential to advance foundational understanding of 4-manifolds and shed light on mathematical physics tools.
