Funded Activity Summary

Reflection groups. The study of symmetry in geometrical and abstract contexts is a central issue in such diverse areas as mathematical physics, singularity theory, algebraic geometry, quantum groups and the study of knots and braids. Group theory provides the mathematical framework for the analysis of symmetry. Reflection groups, simple examples of which are the symmetry groups of the five platonic solids, play a key role in all of the areas mentioned above. Thus an improved understanding of reflection groups will significantly enhance the development of several important theories.
