The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded the University of Illinois $119,999 on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to fund research in model theory and dynamics. The award supports theoretical mathematics research applying model theory—a branch of mathematical logic—to dynamical systems, including algebraic dynamical systems and differential equations. The project aims to extend model-theoretic techniques from continuous differential equations to discrete algebraic dynamics, with expected applications to the characterization of invariant subvarieties and progress toward the Zariski dense forward orbit conjecture. The research also anticipates foundational advances in stability and simplicity theory with potential connections to machine learning. Work is performed in Chicago, Illinois with a period of performance from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027.
