Harmonic analysis: function spaces and singular integral operators. This project advances knowledge in harmonic analysis to new settings such as dyadic and multiparameter theories, Laplacian-like operators, and rough singular integrals. Outcomes will be solutions to long-standing problems, training of researchers, strong links with international researchers and enhancement of Australia's reputation in mathematics.
Symmetry in Differential Geometry. Differential geometry is a major branch of mathematics studying shape by using calculus and differential equations. This is a fundamental research project in this area, especially concerned with the interaction between geometry, differential equations, and symmetry. The mathematical notion of symmetry was already formalised early last century and nowadays lies at the very heart of mathematics and physics.

Differential geometry is a major branch of mathematics studying shape by using calculus and differential equations. This is a fundamental research project in this area, especially concerned with the interaction between geometry, differential equations, and symmetry. The mathematical notion of symmetry was already formalised early last century and nowadays lies at the very heart of mathematics and physics. Advances in this area provide essential tools in basic science and unexpected technological benefits can easily arise (for example, in medical imaging). Fundamental mathematical research is absolutely necessary if Australia is to maintain a presence on the international scientific stage.

Classification and Invariants in Complex Differential Geometry. Differential geometry is the study of shape using calculus and differential equations. This is a fundamental research project in this area. Complex differential geometry refers to geometry based on the complex numbers, generally a rich and intriguing setting. Geometries will be distinguished by the construction of suitable invariants, both algebraic and analytic. Classification problems will be solved by these means. Of particular i ....Classification and Invariants in Complex Differential Geometry. Differential geometry is the study of shape using calculus and differential equations. This is a fundamental research project in this area. Complex differential geometry refers to geometry based on the complex numbers, generally a rich and intriguing setting. Geometries will be distinguished by the construction of suitable invariants, both algebraic and analytic. Classification problems will be solved by these means. Of particular interest are geometries with a high degree of symmetry, a critical feature that pervades both mathematics and physics. Twistor theory provides the unifying theme for this project.Read moreRead less

A shipload of consequences: studying the impact of Old World diseases on native South American populations via ancient DNA. This pioneering project will give the first real-time picture of the genetic changes induced by epidemics in human populations. This will reveal important new information about the likely impact of future epidemics on the genetic diversity of the immune system in modern human populations and will be of substantial use in building epidemiological models. By proposing to comb ....A shipload of consequences: studying the impact of Old World diseases on native South American populations via ancient DNA. This pioneering project will give the first real-time picture of the genetic changes induced by epidemics in human populations. This will reveal important new information about the likely impact of future epidemics on the genetic diversity of the immune system in modern human populations and will be of substantial use in building epidemiological models. By proposing to combine state-of-the-art science with global problems of humanity, we will address Australia's interests in expanding scientific expertise beyond its borders and place Australia at the leading edge of disease impact studies.Read moreRead less

Chern-Moser type normal forms. The importance of Cauchy-Riemann manifolds stems from the fact that they bridge complex structure and holomorphy with the Riemannian nature of real manifolds. Construction of an analogue of the Chern-Moser normal form for multicodimensional Levi-nondegenerate CR-manifolds and extension of CR-mappings between them are major goals in complex analysis. Identification of Chern-Moser chains and equivariant linearisation of isotropy automorphisms are major goals in geometry.Read moreRead less
Holonomy groups in Lorentzian geometry. The project studies mathematical models used in physical theories, such as general relativity and string theory, to create a global picture of the universe.
