- This Project Grant award of $149,999 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research combining techniques from homotopy theory, algebraic K-theory, smooth manifolds, polyhedra, and knot theory. The project aims to develop algebraic K-theory and its applications to classify important geometric objects such as smooth manifolds, polyhedra, and knots. Key activities include training junior...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $452,656 to California State University Fresno Foundation to support research in low-dimensional topology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The funding will advance understanding of link homology theories and other quantum invariants through construction and study of new Khovanov-type homology theories for classical and singular knots. It will also investigate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Louisiana State University (LSU) for research related to the mathematics of topology, specifically the study of homology growth in aspherical manifolds. The primary goal is to investigate long-standing conjectures on the topology of these manifolds and their connection to fibering, as well as promote graduate and undergraduate education through the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Rutgers, The State University for the project "SYMMETRIES OF FLOER THEORETIC INVARIANTS AND APPLICATIONS TO LOW-DIMENSIONAL TOPOLOGY". The 3-year project, running from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028, will use tools from Floer theory to study algebraic structures on 3-dimensional spaces and address topological questions related to mathematical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $170,443 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports research in "Critical Symplectic Geometry, Lagrangian Cobordisms, and Stable Homotopy Theory." The project aims to incorporate ideas from homotopy theory and category theory into symplectic geometry to prove structural results about...
- This $121,965 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Elon University. The grant supports research focused on the representation and computational processing of knotted structures, particularly braids, and their applications in areas like quantum computing and molecular biology. The principal investigator, who is both a mathematician and dancer, plans to advance the topological and...
The University of South Alabama received a $219,165 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant will fund research on categorification techniques to study knot theory, which has applications in biology, medicine, chemistry, and physics. The key goals of the project are to study the geometric, topological, and combinatorial properties of Springer fibers and their generalizations, and to use these algebraic structures to construct new homological invariants of knots and links. The project aims to deepen the understanding of the connections between different areas of mathematics, such as algebra and geometry. Additionally, the grant will support the expansion of the MAPP Challenge, a mathematics puzzle-based scavenger hunt designed to broaden participation in STEM. The grant period runs from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2027.
