Funded Activity Summary
New dualities in modular representation theory. This project aims to introduce new geometric techniques in the modular representation theory of the general linear group, and resolve fundamental questions about modular representations of orthogonal and symplectic groups. Representation theory, the mathematical study of symmetry, has applications in many areas ranging from physics to computer science. The modular setting, where the characteristic of the field is positive, is a source of the deepest conjectures in this subject. Recent breakthroughs have provided approaches to some problems in modular representation theory that were previously inaccessible. This project will promote research at the forefront of the field, and help maintain Australia's international standing. It will train Australian postgraduates, who will be able to apply their research skills in industry, and strengthen the country's ties to a vibrant international community.Funded Activity Details
