Floer homology, symplectic automorphism groups and algebraic k-theory

Objective



Recently strong links between mathematical physics, symplectic geometry and algebraic geometry have been established through the discovery of 'quantum cohomology'. The proposed project would be to study connections between the topology of symplectic automorphism groups and the algebraic structure of the quantum cohomology ring. This includes the development of algebro-geometric methods to make computations in Floer homology. A second part would treat analogues of the classical K-theoretical surgery obstructions (leading for example to a 'Floer simple homotopy type'). The methods to be used come from nonlinear analysis, topology and algebraic geometry. Research would be supervised by Prof. Donaldson, leading to a D. Phil thesis.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
