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.
Noncommutative analysis and geometry in interaction with quantum physics. Quantum theory has produced many advances in our understanding of the physical world for the last hundred years while mathematical breakthroughs have been made through exploiting innovative ideas from quantum physics. This project continues in this highly successful framework and will lead to advances in geometry both classical and noncommutative.
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.
