Holonomy groups in Lorentzian geometry. The project studies mathematical models used in physical theories, such as general relativity and string theory, to create a global picture of the universe. The outcomes will enhance the role Australia plays in these developments and contribute to the mathematical knowledge which lies at the foundations of modern technologies.

Summary
Studying the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and density using lattice techniques. The quark-gluon plasma, a new state of matter consisting of quarks and gluons, is currently the subject of intensive investigation. A striking feature of the results is that the quark-gluon plasma is the most perfect fluid known to mankind. Calculating its 'fluid-like' properties, called the transport properties, theoretically, remains one of the central challenges of the field due t ....Studying the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and density using lattice techniques. The quark-gluon plasma, a new state of matter consisting of quarks and gluons, is currently the subject of intensive investigation. A striking feature of the results is that the quark-gluon plasma is the most perfect fluid known to mankind. Calculating its 'fluid-like' properties, called the transport properties, theoretically, remains one of the central challenges of the field due to several technical difficulties. This project aims to perform a first ever computation of these properties using Australian supercomputers.Read moreRead less
Holonomy groups and special structures in pseudo-Riemannian geometry. The project studies mathematical models used in physical theories, such as general relativity and string theory, to create a global picture of the universe. The outcomes will enhance the role that Australia plays in these developments and contribute to the mathematical knowledge which lies at the foundations of modern technologies.
