Optimal shapes in geometry and physics: Isoperimetry in modern analysis. This project will find the best isoperimetric shapes in curved spaces: shapes that optimise geometric or analytic quantities, such as the volume enclosed by a surface of a given area, or the resonant frequency of a drum of given area. The optimal shapes lead to tools that are widely used in differential equations, geometric analysis, statistical physics, probability theory, and quantum computing. Through this work, we ....Optimal shapes in geometry and physics: Isoperimetry in modern analysis. This project will find the best isoperimetric shapes in curved spaces: shapes that optimise geometric or analytic quantities, such as the volume enclosed by a surface of a given area, or the resonant frequency of a drum of given area. The optimal shapes lead to tools that are widely used in differential equations, geometric analysis, statistical physics, probability theory, and quantum computing. Through this work, we will forge connections between the geometry of curved spaces, and the physics of operators therein. The significant benefits of this project include increasing fundamental mathematical knowledge, building capacity in Australia’s world-class geometric analysis community, and strong links with international partners.Read moreRead less
Harmonic analysis and dispersive partial differential equations. This project aims to develop theoretical results and practical techniques in the study of Partial Differential Equations. Harmonic analysis is used to study these equations; in which a system’s local behaviour is used to analyse global properties, using techniques such as the Fourier transform.

This project aims to develop theoretical results and practical techniques in the study of Partial Differential Equations. Harmonic analysis is used to study these equations; in which a system’s local behaviour is used to analyse global properties, using techniques such as the Fourier transform. The project will investigate central problems in the area, revealing deep connections between analysis and geometry, and apply these to study the solutions’ long-term behaviour to non-linear equations. Expected outcomes include theoretical results and practical techniques to solve non-linear dispersive equations, which arise in quantum and fluid mechanics.Read moreRead less
Nonlinear harmonic analysis and dispersive partial differential equations. This proposal is devoted to linear and nonlinear harmonic analysis. It aims to unify the most significant attributes of harmonic analysis such as restriction estimates, dispersive properties of differential operators, spectral multipliers, uniform Sobolev estimates and sharp Weyl formula. Such unification will strongly improve tools for mathematical modelling in all areas of technology and science. Notable applications in ....Nonlinear harmonic analysis and dispersive partial differential equations. This proposal is devoted to linear and nonlinear harmonic analysis. It aims to unify the most significant attributes of harmonic analysis such as restriction estimates, dispersive properties of differential operators, spectral multipliers, uniform Sobolev estimates and sharp Weyl formula. Such unification will strongly improve tools for mathematical modelling in all areas of technology and science. Notable applications include medical imaging, fluid dynamics and subatomic modelling using quantum interpretation.
It will solve several important open problems in spectral analysis of partial differential operators and develop new cutting-edge techniques in harmonic analysis with application to nonlinear partial differential equations.Read moreRead less
