Constructing line bundles on algebraic varieties --around conjectures of Tate and Grothendieck (AlgTateGro)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2021,

The goal of this project is to investigate two conjectures in arithmetic geometry pertaining to the geometry of projective varieties over finite and number fields. These two conjectures, formulated by Tate and Grothendieck in the 1960s, predict which cohomology classes are chern classes of line bundles. They both form an arithmetic counterpart of a theorem of Lefschetz, proved in the 1940s, which ...

Unified Principles of Interaction (ONE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

Most of today’s computer interfaces are based on principles and conceptual models created in the late seventies. They are designed for a single user interacting with a closed application on a single device with a predefined set of tools to manipulate a single type of content. But one is not enough! We need flexible and extensible environments where multiple users can truly share content and manipu...
