This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $223,640 to Syracuse University from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to develop new mathematical tools and refine existing methods to address longstanding challenges in the field of elastic deformations. The research aims to analyze the mathematical foundations of elastic deformations through the framework of Sobolev homeomorphisms, which serve as natural models for nonlinear elasticity. Key objectives include understanding the weak and strong closures of Sobolev homeomorphisms and developing Sobolev analogues of topological results. The project also advances a new theory of quasiregular values, providing a pointwise characterization of quasiregularity and uncovering new links to classical results. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
