The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $198,560 federal Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Saint Louis University. The grant will support research by the Principal Investigator (PI) to address longstanding open questions relating the fields of geometry, topology, and dynamics in 3-dimensions. Key goals include proving a strengthening of an unpublished theorem by Gabai and Mosher, and relating the collection of pseudo-Anosov flows almost transverse to a given taut finite depth foliation to the collection of universal circles for that foliation. In addition to the original research, the project will involve the training of graduate students and support a mathematics periodical run by undergraduates and faculty at the PI's institution. The grant award period is from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027.
