This is an EPSRC Programme Grant in Combinatorial Representation Theory: Discovering the Interfaces of Algebra with Geometry and Topology. It has 5 PDRA positions; and several PhD students directly and indirectly associated, in Leeds. It has numerous international partners and collaborators, with many research visits both to and from the project base in Leeds. The project is directed by Baur (Bochum) and Martin (Leeds), in close consultation with the other Investigators, and also with the Programme’s International Advisory Board. See the project web-site for a scientific overview.
Our aim is to develop a broad and holistic theory of representations, engaging and unifying diverse perspectives, from algebra, geometry and topology to physics, life sciences and engineering, enabling a cross-discipline transfer and fertilisation of ideas.
