This Project Grant award, titled "LEAPS-MPS: GEOMETRY AND TOPOLOGY OF DUAL ARTIN GROUPS," was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049). The $250,000 award, spanning January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027, will support research at Lafayette College to examine the relationship between Artin groups and dual Artin groups, a class of mathematical structures with applications in physics, crystallography, and other fields. The project will aim to expand the understanding of when these two types of groups are isomorphic, as well as explore connections between dual Artin groups and other areas like hyperplane arrangements and tree complexes. Additionally, the award will support undergraduate research experiences and enhance student programming at the college. This grant falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, which funds fundamental and applied research across diverse scientific disciplines to advance knowledge and technological innovation.
