Funded Activity Summary

The geometry of braids and triangulated categories. Triangulated categories play a central role in geometry, algebra, and topology. Their study can uncover deep structure connecting different areas of mathematics. This project aims to use novel approaches to answer fundamental questions about triangulated categories and their symmetries. These symmetries are encoded by braids, which are important objects with many applications across science. The project is expected to benefit Australia by stimulating research in mathematics and computer science. It will invite connections with leading experts and students around the world and encourage overseas collaboration. There is a potential long-term benefit to cybersecurity, towards the development of new encryption schemes based on braids.
