Summary
Linear recurrence sequences over function fields and their applications. This project aims to deeply and systematically develop the theory of linear recurrence sequences (LRS) defined over function fields. Linear recurrence sequences (LRS) appear almost everywhere in mathematics and computer science. The project is expected to expand our knowledge on LRS and will span a wide range of new research directions. Through investigating and revealing the theoretical and practical aspects of LRS over fu ....Linear recurrence sequences over function fields and their applications. This project aims to deeply and systematically develop the theory of linear recurrence sequences (LRS) defined over function fields. Linear recurrence sequences (LRS) appear almost everywhere in mathematics and computer science. The project is expected to expand our knowledge on LRS and will span a wide range of new research directions. Through investigating and revealing the theoretical and practical aspects of LRS over function fields, the project will enrich the toolkits for cybersecurity by providing new approaches to cryptography. The outcomes of the project will help position Australia as a leader in this field.Read moreRead less
New Applications of Additive Combinatorics in Number Theory and Graph Theory. The project aims to advance significantly the interplay between additive combinatorics, number theory and graph theory. The project will use and advance methods and results of additive combinatorics and give new applications to such fundamental problems on Cayley graphs as connectivity, random walks, colouring and dominating sets. The significance of the project is ensured by its goal of advancing existing results and ....New Applications of Additive Combinatorics in Number Theory and Graph Theory. The project aims to advance significantly the interplay between additive combinatorics, number theory and graph theory. The project will use and advance methods and results of additive combinatorics and give new applications to such fundamental problems on Cayley graphs as connectivity, random walks, colouring and dominating sets. The significance of the project is ensured by its goal of advancing existing results and methods of additive combinatorics and also in finding their new applications that have long-lasting impact on paramount problems for Cayley graphs that underlie the architecture of crucial communication networks. Achieving progress on these problems and developing relevant methods of additive combinatorics will be the main outcomes. Read moreRead less
The language complexity of problems in algebra and logic. This project focuses on a major problem at the intersection of algebra, logic and computer science, concerning equations over free groups and free monoids. Expected outcomes include a language-theoretic characterisation of solutions of equations in a wide class of groups and monoids, a language-theoretic understanding of the existential and first-order theories of free groups, and a classification of groups with indexed multiplication tab ....The language complexity of problems in algebra and logic. This project focuses on a major problem at the intersection of algebra, logic and computer science, concerning equations over free groups and free monoids. Expected outcomes include a language-theoretic characterisation of solutions of equations in a wide class of groups and monoids, a language-theoretic understanding of the existential and first-order theories of free groups, and a classification of groups with indexed multiplication tables and EDT0L word problem. The project is designed to expand the frontiers of knowledge in theoretical computer science and pure mathematics, but in the longer term to deepen our understanding of computers, their computational power and intrinsic limitations.Read moreRead less
Additive combinatorics, arithmetic algebraic geometry and finite fields. This project aims to combine additive combinatorics and algebraic geometry and apply them to the theory of finite fields. Additive combinatorics and algebraic geometry are mostly developed over the complex numbers and other fields of characteristic zero. This project will bring the power of these different, discrete and continuous areas to finite fields, opening new perspectives for progress on several major problems, inacc ....Additive combinatorics, arithmetic algebraic geometry and finite fields. This project aims to combine additive combinatorics and algebraic geometry and apply them to the theory of finite fields. Additive combinatorics and algebraic geometry are mostly developed over the complex numbers and other fields of characteristic zero. This project will bring the power of these different, discrete and continuous areas to finite fields, opening new perspectives for progress on several major problems, inaccessible by other methods. The project will advance and affect the development of number theory research in Australia and methodologies useful in mathematics and computer science, including cryptography.Read moreRead less
