Elliptic representation theory: the study of symmetries across geometry, algebra and physics. This project aims to study symmetries which control geometry and physics of four-dimensional manifolds. Representation theory is the area in pure mathematics which studies symmetries coming from geometry, algebra, and physics. The expected outcome is new families of quantum algebra, their character formulas, and a solution to an infinite-dimensional moduli problem.

Integral transforms and moduli theory. This project is in algebraic geometry, a branch of pure
mathematics. An overarching goal is a better understanding of the
algebra underlying the sophisticated geometries that arise in the
classification problems that are pervasive in mathematics and its
applications to physics. This new knowledge will then be applied to
further elucidate the geometry of these spaces.

Measure theoretic frameworks for limsup sets. This project aims to develop new powerful measure theoretic techniques in mathematics that will be used in establishing some indispensable results in analytical number theory (Diophantine approximation) and dynamical systems. The plan is to construct new techniques and to use them in situations where existing techniques are not applicable. As a consequence of the proposed frameworks, not only we aim to resolve a few long-standing problems such as the ....Measure theoretic frameworks for limsup sets. This project aims to develop new powerful measure theoretic techniques in mathematics that will be used in establishing some indispensable results in analytical number theory (Diophantine approximation) and dynamical systems. The plan is to construct new techniques and to use them in situations where existing techniques are not applicable. As a consequence of the proposed frameworks, not only we aim to resolve a few long-standing problems such as the Generalised Baker-Schmidt Problem (1970) but also envisage that the proposed frameworks will have far-reaching applications beyond the confines of Diophantine approximation and dynamical systems, for example, geometric measure theory, geometric probability and stochastic geometry etc. Read moreRead less

The project aim is the development of a framework for the advancement of optimisation algorithms operating in real-time applications. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of systems theory and optimisation, and its application to time-varying problems. Expected outcomes of this project should lead to a new theoretical and practical framework that aims to ameliorate the shortcomings of the existing approaches that struggle to rapidly respond to new information. This should provide significant benefits. Specifically, this project aims to facilitate a technological leap that generates smaller, faster, and more powerful embedded systems such as broadband services, mobile phones, medical imagining, radar and avionics.Read moreRead less

Real groups and the Langlands program. This program aims to address deep longstanding questions about real groups, algebraic objects which describe the basic symmetries occurring in nature. The study of these basic symmetries is central in all areas of mathematics and they come up in many applications.

Algebraic invariants of singularities. This project aims to study the local and global behaviour of singularities that algebraic equations can describe via difficult algebraic invariants constructed from (algebraic) functions on the geometric object. A geometric object has a singularity at a point where its tangent directions do not behave the way they should. Examples include black holes, the vertex of a cone or a road intersection.
