The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $172,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Michigan State University (MSU) for a research project titled "Birational Classification of Varieties: Connections to Arithmetic and Algebra". The project aims to investigate birational geometry in settings beyond the complex numbers, such as finite fields and integers, and explore connections to commutative algebra, arithmetic geometry, and derived algebraic geometry. The research will also provide training opportunities for students and support initiatives to promote broader participation in mathematics, with a focus on first-generation college students. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
