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....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $199,256 to Western Washington University (WWU) will support a research program studying knotted objects in four-dimensional spaces. The primary objectives are to: Investigate the topology and geometry of the four-dimensional sphere, including resolving whether it admits exotic smooth structures and whether certain knotted two-spheres within it must be unknotted. Examine the topology,...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports fundamental research into the topology and dynamics of four-dimensional manifolds with symplectic structures. The $156,571 award, spanning from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will enable the principal investigator to employ advanced mathematical tools, such as surgery on Lefschetz fibrations, Gromov-Witten theory, and family...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, totaling $215,864, will fund research into low-dimensional topology through August 2025.
