This $260,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research on the fundamental geometry and topology of hyperbolic manifolds conducted by the Trustees of Boston College. The central focus of the 3-year project is to analyze the structure and applications of "geometric limits" - mathematical concepts essential for understanding complex 3-dimensional shapes through the lens of simpler hyperbolic geometries. The research aims to advance knowledge in low-dimensional geometry and topology, with anticipated applications in fields like Thurston's program to classify 3-manifolds. In addition to the research, the grant supports development of inquiry-based learning courses, dissemination of educational materials, and workshops for early career mathematicians. No subward details were provided.
