This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $250,000 supports research into low-dimensional topology through July 2025. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award to Duke University will advance understanding of fundamental questions in knot theory and 4-manifold topology. Specifically, the principal investigator will investigate knot concordance problems tied to the unique properties of 4-dimensional manifolds compared to higher dimensions....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $185,923 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA) to conduct research in stable homotopy theory and its applications in algebra, topology, and geometry. The project aims to explore further applications of stable homotopy theory, including studying the stable stems and their connections to geometric topology, number theory, and algebraic...
This NSF CAREER award, provided through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a research program at the University of Notre Dame focused on moduli spaces, fundamental groups, and asphericality in algebraic geometry and topology. The $304,875 award, spanning 5 years from July 2024 to June 2029, aims to develop new methods to study moduli spaces of abelian differentials and families of polynomials, with a goal of establishing their asphericality. The project also...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides funding of $226,665 to the University of Virginia (UVA) for research focused on the geometric classification and topological properties of 4-dimensional manifolds. The objectives include examining the validity of 4-dimensional topological surgery theory, studying symmetries of 4-dimensional spaces, and developing new tools for distinguishing them. The project...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $303,150 to Vanderbilt University's Sponsored Programs Administration Division to conduct research on groups acting on hyperbolic spaces and operator algebras.
