Faculty at the School of Mathematics have received two Focused Research Groups awards.
These are highly competetive awards, with well under 10% of all applications funded. The awards fund research that cannot be done within the scope of a single mathematics department. These awards are:
1. Robin Thomas - Georgia Tech
Paul Seymour - Princeton
Neil Robertson - Ohio State
To investigate questions in Graph Theory, building upon the recent solution of the Perfect Graph Conjecture.
2. Wilfrid Gangbo - Georgia Tech (total budget $804K)
Luis Caffarelli - Texas
Lawrence Evans - Berkeley
Mikhail Feldman - Wisconsin
Robet McCann - Toronto
For investigations into Monge Ampere equation and mass transfer. This is the second FRG award to go to this group of people.
