Funded Activity Summary

Constructive Module Theory for Algebras. Cohomology is a highly abstract but very powerful tool. To apply it to particular problems, intricate calculations with abstruse objects are required. The project will represent an important step in a long-term research program being undertaken by Cannon and others to develop computational methods that exploit powerful but deeply abstract ideas in algebra and geometry. Solution of the problems will create considerable interest and find application in several branches of mathematics including algebraic geometry and algebraic topology. It will be used both to gain theoretical insight and also to solve concrete problems such as determining whether an equation such as x^3+y^9 = z^2 has a solution in integers.
