This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, totaling $372,943, will support research investigating mathematical models in geometric calculus of variations and their applications in physics. Funded from June 2023 through May 2028, the award to the University of Texas at Austin will advance basic mathematical research while connecting to natural sciences. Key work includes developing new mathematical tools to study aspects of models in general relativity and surface tension theory requiring such advances. Another focus is analyzing soap films as three-dimensional regions using capillarity theory to better understand physical properties like bursting or bulging not explained via conventional two-dimensional modeling. The investigator will also reformulate soap film capillarity modeling within the framework of diffused interface capillarity, adding a second length scale to facilitate exploring collapsing phenomena. Outcomes from this research are expected to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing fundamental knowledge in mathematics with relevance to major problems in physics.
