Funded Activity Summary

A Functional Analysis of the Hypoelliptic Laplacian. Strike a bell, a sphere, or any geometrical object, and it rings. The frequencies of ringing are the mathematical spectrum, which encodes deep secrets about the shape of the object. The spectrum of the hypoelliptic laplacian is known to carry deep truths in mathematics and physics, but it remains difficult to understand. We propose a new analytic foundation, which will replace the so far non-analytical ad hoc approach, and make accessible many new results. It is key to better understanding differential equations which lie at the boundary between quantum mechanics and the classical world. This will pave the way for Australian leadership in a new century of differential equations and geometry, and training of young mathematicians.
