This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences Project Grant award to Michigan State University totaling $160,279 supports research in the field of algebraic geometry. The project will explore the constraints placed on smooth nonlinear shapes from modular forms, and then examine which features persist when the shapes acquire singularities. This will require the use of more general tools called quasi-modular and mock modular forms. The project offers opportunities for...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences Project Grant, awarded to New York University (NYU), focuses on the study of systems of nonlinear algebraic equations in many variables. The $320,000 research project aims to advance the understanding of rationality, stable rationality, linearizability, and stable linearizability of actions of finite groups on algebraic varieties, with potential applications to theoretical computer science, cryptography, information processing, and theoretical physics. Key goals include obtaining a full classification of such actions on rational varieties in dimensions up to three, exploring the applicability of recently discovered invariants in birational geometry, and developing the theory of universal torsors in the equivariant and orbifold context. The research combines arithmetic and geometric insights, and will train graduate students and engage in outreach to bring broader awareness of the mathematical work.
