This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences Project Grant for $281,433 awarded to Claremont McKenna College supports research in pure and applied knot theory. The project aims to connect quantum topology with hyperbolic geometry and apply knot theory techniques to the study of knotted biopolymers. Key research focus areas include:

  1. Investigating how quantum invariants of knots relate to the geometric properties of knots and 3-dimensional spaces, with potential applications to mathematical physics and topological quantum computing.

  2. Developing a knot-theoretic model to quantify and relate local topological complexity in biopolymers to biophysical processes, which could enable the design of synthetic biopolymers with desired properties.

The project provides research opportunities for undergraduate students and includes outreach activities to increase interest in mathematics. This award supports NSF's mission to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences.
