The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded Northwestern University $248,675 on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research in algebraic geometry focused on higher singularities and birational geometry in positive and mixed characteristics. The research centers on three main objectives: developing new understanding of Hodge module analogues in positive characteristic and applying results to birational geometry and commutative algebra; investigating singularities in mixed characteristic, with emphasis on jumping numbers and inversion of adjunction; and developing arithmetic birational geometry with focus on the abundance conjecture. The project includes organization of workshops, conferences, and events for students and early-career mathematicians, composition of research notes and survey articles, and integration of artificial intelligence tools and formal mathematics into educational activities. Performance occurs in Evanston, Illinois. The award runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031. This is a CAREER grant, a project grant assistance type supporting faculty research and education development.
