Summary
Geometric analysis of eigenvalues and heat flows. Geometric analysis of eigenvalues and heat flows: This fellowship project aims to build on Australia's leading position in the areas of nonlinear partial differential equations and geometric analysis to exploit new and highly innovative mathematical methods. It is expected that the methods will affect a range of related fields including stochastic modelling and finance, image processing, and the basic sciences. The project seeks to serve as a foc ....Geometric analysis of eigenvalues and heat flows. Geometric analysis of eigenvalues and heat flows: This fellowship project aims to build on Australia's leading position in the areas of nonlinear partial differential equations and geometric analysis to exploit new and highly innovative mathematical methods. It is expected that the methods will affect a range of related fields including stochastic modelling and finance, image processing, and the basic sciences. The project seeks to serve as a focal point for a developing community of Australian researchers in this field, providing a training ground for young researchers and students at the forefront of a vigorous and internationally active area of research, and bringing top international researchers to Australia to interact with the local research community.Read moreRead less

Summary
Derived categories and applications. This project will deepen our understanding of homological algebra, a mathematical tool that has proved useful in areas ranging from physics to the coding of information for computer transmission. Also, having a thriving research presence in Australia, of this vibrant, modern field, should inspire more students to seek a career in mathematics; this would help relieve the acute, well-documented shortage of mathematicians in Australia.

This project will deepen our understanding of homological algebra, a mathematical tool that has proved useful in areas ranging from physics to the coding of information for computer transmission. Also, having a thriving research presence in Australia, of this vibrant, modern field, should inspire more students to seek a career in mathematics; this would help relieve the acute, well-documented shortage of mathematicians in Australia. It has been established that Australia is not producing enough mathematicians to meet the needs of industry; a lively centre, full of young, productive mathematicians, will go a long way towards correcting this problem.Read moreRead less
Geometric transforms and duality. This Proposal is fundamental, basic research at the forefront of modern differential geometry and its application to physics. It will ensure that Australia is involved in today's mathematical and physical advances and that we have Australian mathematicians trained to take advantage of the future benefits of these advances.
Applications of generalised geometry to duality in quantum theory. This project will undertake research into mathematics at the forefront of modern physics. The aim of the project is to develop a mathematical theory of T-duality, a phenomenon in quantum physics, using generalised geometry.
