Funded Activity Summary

Derived categories and applications. This project will deepen our understanding of homological algebra, a mathematical tool that has proved useful in areas ranging from physics to the coding of information for computer transmission. Also, having a thriving research presence in Australia, of this vibrant, modern field, should inspire more students to seek a career in mathematics; this would help relieve the acute, well-documented shortage of mathematicians in Australia. It has been established that Australia is not producing enough mathematicians to meet the needs of industry; a lively centre, full of young, productive mathematicians, will go a long way towards correcting this problem.
