Description

Partition functions through the lens of topological recursion. This project aims to resolve deep mathematical mysteries concerning structures known as partition functions, which arise in theoretical models of the universe. Novel insights and approaches will come from the developing yet powerful theory of topological recursion, which provides a clarifying and unifying lens. Expected outcomes include the resolution of outstanding conjectures concerning topological string theory and quantum invariants, as well as new connections between these concepts. The project will lead to significant benefits, such as the formation of international collaborations, the training of researchers in an area of fundamental importance, and the enhancement of Australia's reputation as a powerhouse in mathematical physics..
