This project aims to investigate graph isomorphism, a fundamental problem in graph theory, using deep learning techniques. Solutions to graph isomorphism are in demand by researchers in many fields of science, such as biology, chemistry, computer science, and quantum computing. The project expects to advance knowledge about graph isomorphism and state-of-the-art methodologies for its applications. The expected outcomes include new theoretical insights on combinatorial structures of graphs, efficient heuristic techniques for (maximum) subgraph isomorphism, and structured representation learning. The project should provide significant benefits to research in a wide range of science fields, as well as many real-world applications.Read moreRead less

The geometry of exotic nilpotent cones. This research will describe the geometry of some important objects which sit at the boundary of algebra, geometry, and combinatorics. It has intrinsic value as a significant addition to the heritage of mathematical thought, and will strengthen Australian traditions in these areas of mathematics.
Pyramids and decomposition numbers for the symmetric and general linear groups. This project takes a novel approach to the decomposition number problem for the symmetric and general linear groups by setting up a new framework for computing them using the combinatorics of pyramids.

This project takes a novel approach to the decomposition number problem for the symmetric and general linear groups by setting up a new framework for computing them using the combinatorics of pyramids. The decomposition numbers of an algebra are an important statistic which gives detailed structural information about its representations. These numbers can be used to compute the dimensions of the irreducible representations of the algebra and they play an important role in the applications of representation theory to other fields such as knot theory and statistical mechanics.Read moreRead less

In this digitalized world, our life relies on mathematics more than ever. Counting and numbers are just one example of this. Another is the public key codes for online payments and transactions. Mathematics is of enormous importance in this technology dominated age. This proposal is to carry out high level mathematical research in Australia. Basic research on quantum groups underpins applied research and certain areas such as quantum mechanics and string theory. Some structure of quantum groups is too complicated to be seen by even a professional mathematician. A possible interpretation by using representations over a finite field would make it more usable and accessible by computer.Read moreRead less

There is a uniform geometric description of braid groups; however this is not the case algebraically. This project aims to find the connections between the algebra, combinatorics and geometry of braid groups in order to obtain a uniform algebraic description. This generalisation will allow advances in the related areas of mathematics and physics. In addition to theoretical results, new algorithms for calculating in braid groups will be given, which can then be implemented computationally.
