Heat equations: geometric methods and applications. This project will continue the development of a highly successful set of analytic and geometric tools to understand heat-type partial differential equations, with applications in physics, geometry, analysis and image processing. These new mathematical tools have already yielded the resolution of important conjectures in spectral geometry.
Geometric analysis on non-compact and singular spaces. The project will involve mathematical research of international stature in an effervescent field: geometric analysis on singular spaces.

Curvature flows and spectral estimates. Curvature flows are a class of geometrically motivated equations, modelled on the heat equation. Recently, researchers have developed new methods for studying the regularity of solutions to these equations, and applied them to a different problem, that of estimating quantities depending on the smaller eigenvalues of a Schroedinger operator. This project builds on the early success of this research and will produce a new understanding of the behaviour of ei ....Curvature flows and spectral estimates.

This project builds on the early success of this research and will produce a new understanding of the behaviour of eigenvalues, establish sharp estimates for spectral quantities, particularly on manifolds with curvature bounds, and find optimal conditions under which non-compact solutions to curvature flows are stable.Read moreRead less
