Summary
Integrable systems from gauge theories. This project aims to construct and describe three important integrable systems and to produce new significant results in representation theory and mathematical physics. The focus of the project is the theory of integrable systems, a breakthrough area in modern mathematics, and it will use tools from geometric representation theory to study the interrelation between geometry and mathematical physics. Originating from string theory, the project will not only ....Integrable systems from gauge theories. This project aims to construct and describe three important integrable systems and to produce new significant results in representation theory and mathematical physics. The focus of the project is the theory of integrable systems, a breakthrough area in modern mathematics, and it will use tools from geometric representation theory to study the interrelation between geometry and mathematical physics. Originating from string theory, the project will not only provide a deeper understanding of the universe, it will also train young mathematicians and other highly qualified individuals with the potential to make a significant impact to technology, security, and the economy though their specialised skills.Read moreRead less
Measure theoretic frameworks for limsup sets. This project aims to develop new powerful measure theoretic techniques in mathematics that will be used in establishing some indispensable results in analytical number theory (Diophantine approximation) and dynamical systems. The plan is to construct new techniques and to use them in situations where existing techniques are not applicable. As a consequence of the proposed frameworks, not only we aim to resolve a few long-standing problems such as the ....Measure theoretic frameworks for limsup sets. This project aims to develop new powerful measure theoretic techniques in mathematics that will be used in establishing some indispensable results in analytical number theory (Diophantine approximation) and dynamical systems. The plan is to construct new techniques and to use them in situations where existing techniques are not applicable. As a consequence of the proposed frameworks, not only we aim to resolve a few long-standing problems such as the Generalised Baker-Schmidt Problem (1970) but also envisage that the proposed frameworks will have far-reaching applications beyond the confines of Diophantine approximation and dynamical systems, for example, geometric measure theory, geometric probability and stochastic geometry etc. Read moreRead less
Integral transforms and moduli theory. This project is in algebraic geometry, a branch of pure
mathematics. An overarching goal is a better understanding of the
algebra underlying the sophisticated geometries that arise in the
classification problems that are pervasive in mathematics and its
applications to physics. This new knowledge will then be applied to
further elucidate the geometry of these spaces.
Expected outcomes of this project include major progress in our

classification problems that are pervasive in mathematics and its
applications to physics. This new knowledge will then be applied to
further elucidate the geometry of these spaces.
Expected outcomes of this project include major progress in our
understanding of derived categories of algebraic stacks via the
Fourier-Mukai transform.
The benefit will be to enhance the international stature of Australian
science.Read moreRead less

Frobenius manifolds from a geometrical and categorical viewpoint. This project aims to provide connections between Frobenius manifolds obtained from algebraic curves in diverse ways. The different constructions, using complex geometry on the one hand and category theory on the other, provide, respectively, a quantitative and qualitative view on the same Frobenius manifold. Together, these distinct points of view allow for the calculation of previously inaccessible physical quantities, and point ....Frobenius manifolds from a geometrical and categorical viewpoint. This project aims to provide connections between Frobenius manifolds obtained from algebraic curves in diverse ways. The different constructions, using complex geometry on the one hand and category theory on the other, provide, respectively, a quantitative and qualitative view on the same Frobenius manifold. Together, these distinct points of view allow for the calculation of previously inaccessible physical quantities, and point to deep new relations between algebraic, complex and differential geometry. These relations are expected to guide new fundamental research on the border of mathematics and physics.Read moreRead less
Algebraic invariants of singularities. This project aims to study the local and global behaviour of singularities that algebraic equations can describe via difficult algebraic invariants constructed from (algebraic) functions on the geometric object. A geometric object has a singularity at a point where its tangent directions do not behave the way they should. Examples include black holes, the vertex of a cone or a road intersection.

Using Abstract Networks to Study Symmetry. An operad is a mathematical tool for packaging the connection between discrete blocks of information. In other words, an operad is a type of network, particularly suited for approaching complex problems by breaking them into smaller, manageable packets. This project aims to reimagine classical objects in geometry and topology such as Teichmüller space as variations of infinity operads. This reimagining will ensure new insights into key objects across th ....Using Abstract Networks to Study Symmetry.

This project aims to reimagine classical objects in geometry and topology such as Teichmüller space as variations of infinity operads. This reimagining will ensure new insights into key objects across three areas of mathematics: algebraic number theory (the mathematics of modern encryption), the representation theory of quantum groups and topological quantum field theories.
