The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $150,756 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA), doing business as the University of Virginia. The grant supports fundamental research on applying ideas from mathematical logic to the study of manifolds, which are central objects in mathematics and physics. The research aims to develop new tools for investigating manifolds and address long-standing questions in geometry and topology. Additionally, the grant will fund initiatives to promote access to higher mathematical education, including organizing Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs in the U.S. and Vietnam, and writing a textbook on geometric group theory. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, and no subawards are planned.
