Funded Activity Summary

Generalized Geometries and their Applications. Geometry is one of the pillars of both ancient and modern mathematics. It also plays a vital role in many scientific applications, in particular in physics. Progress on the mathematical aspects and the applications have often gone hand in hand, as for example with differential geometry and general relativity. Geometry is a very fruitful area for interdisciplinary research. Australia has a long tradition and a recognized research strength in Mathematical Physics, and this project will contribute to maintaining that status. An integral part of this proposal is student involvement and postgraduate research training, for which the topic lends itself particularly well.
