The research project, conducted by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside, aims to develop combinatorial techniques for studying the geometry of these mathematical objects. Additionally, the educational...
- 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 Project Grant award of $150,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research at the University of Chicago to address two key aspects of topology. The first goal is to use analytical methods to study quantitative aspects of topology, such as the number of handles necessary for manifold representatives of homology classes, and how this contrasts with prior work on the number of simplices or volume. The second aim is to apply this...
- This two-year, $106,027 National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences Project Grant supports research into mapping class groups and transformation groups at the University of Maryland, College Park. The principal investigator and graduate students will develop new mathematical tools to study the structure of diffeomorphism groups and homeomorphism groups representing symmetries of manifolds. Previous work classified homomorphisms between such groups and proved conjectures...
