This $583,191 National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences Project Grant supports research into hydrodynamics of liquid crystals and heat flow of harmonic maps at New York University from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The principal investigator and their team will conduct interdisciplinary research exploring the Ericksen-Leslie system describing liquid crystal dynamics, singularities in fluid flows and topological defects. They will also investigate geometric variational problems such as energy minimizing maps into spheres and harmonic Ricci flows into surfaces. This work aims to advance understanding of fundamental problems in liquid crystal theory, such as global existence of weak solutions to the three-dimensional Ericksen-Leslie system. Broader impacts include training graduate students and researchers through related coursework and research projects. Results will be disseminated through publications, conferences and other outreach. This award furthers the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise through basic research in these fields.
