Topological and analytic aspects of special Lagrangian singularities (SL SINGULARITIES)
Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2009,
The first main objective of this proposal is to determine topological and Floer-theoretic obstructions to the existence of embedded Maslov-zero Lagrangian desingularizations of special Lagrangian (SL) cones. In particular, several such obstructions are expected to arise from the application of Contact homology techniques to the boundary of a neighbourhood of the singular point.The second main obje ...

Construction of new G2 manifolds using Calabi-Yau 3-folds (G2 MANIFOLDS)
Start date: Aug 20, 2007, End date: Nov 19, 2008,
...of the existence of a parallel G2-structure on the resulting smooth 7-manifold will involve techniques of non-linear analysis similar to those developed by the proposed scientist in charge, Professor Dominic Joyce when he constructed the first examples of smooth compact G2 manifolds in 1993-4. Such constructions are important both for differential geometry and for super-string and super-gravity th ...
