The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a $120,678.00 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant will fund research focused on the intersection of microlocal analysis and hyperbolic dynamics, with specific goals of understanding the behavior of waves and quantum states in chaotic systems, proving spectral gaps for open systems with fractal hyperbolic trapped sets, and applying microlocal methods to study dynamical zeta functions. The project will provide research training opportunities for graduate students and is expected to run from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
