Funded Activity Summary

Categorical structures in string theory. The proposal is a contribution to the mathematics of fundamental laws of nature. Developments in string theory are unfolding internationally from top physicists and mathematicians. Basic research by our expert group of category theorists will reach out into the Australian community to varying degrees through our own teaching, vacation scholars, media interviews, and links with our academic colleagues in other disciplines. Such basic research underpins the capacity of the private sector by providing skilled graduates and enhancing the capabilities of the economy. Australia must maintain expertise in basic science and technology to be ready for uncertain future demands.
