The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $285,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Utah to conduct research on hyperbolic geometry in two- and three-dimensional spaces. The project, running from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will focus on studying the geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds, including investigating the renormalized volume of such manifolds and the connection to the Weil-Petersson gradient flow. The...
This $204,372 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on the potential theoretic aspects of complex geometry. The principal investigator will employ methods from potential theory, infinite-dimensional geometry, and geometric analysis to investigate a cluster of interconnected questions and conjectures in complex geometry. The project aims to advance scientific knowledge in this...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Chicago a $369,956 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports research into dynamical systems and Hodge theory through the study of low-dimensional dynamical systems using tools from algebraic geometry and Hodge theory. Specifically, the Principal Investigator will examine the relationship between Hodge theory and Anosov representations, which were recently connected by the PI...

Key research focus areas include: Investigating the existence and properties of periodic orbits in four-dimensional phase spaces with three-dimensional energy levels Studying the geometry of phase spaces to determine when dynamical systems are equivalent...
This $260,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on geometric limits in low dimensional geometry and topology at Boston College. The key objectives of the project are to analyze the global topology of the "space of all hyperbolic manifolds" and study the relationship between the "rank" of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds and their geometry. In addition to the research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $399,773 Project Grant to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign to support research on the "Interactions Between Geometry, Topology, Number Theory, and Dynamics" from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The research aims to advance the understanding of topology and geometry and their connections to other areas of mathematics and computer science, including applications in data mining and engineering...
This $405,998 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, doing business as the University of Michigan. The grant supports the principal investigator's research into the deformation spaces of geometric structures on n-dimensional manifolds. This includes studying the Hitchin component of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research in differential equations and the geometry of manifolds. The award, totaling $223,343, will fund the principal investigator's work in three main areas: classification of gravitational instantons in 4 dimensions, understanding Gromov-Hausdorff limits of Einstein metrics in the collapsing case, and the study of higher-dimensional...
