Permutation groups and their interplay with symmetry in finite geometry and graph theory [ 2009 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Dr J Bamberg; Dr MR Giudici; A/Prof GF Royle

Brief description A strong mathematical community in Australia provides the foundations for future discoveries in technology, science and business. The use of group theory to characterise symmetric generalised quadrangles, partial quadrangles, and strongly regular graphs, and the construction of new examples of such objects, will enhance Australia's leading position in Group Theory, Algebraic Graph Theory and Finite Geometry. This project will also strengthen the collaboration between Australian, Belgian and Italian Universities and support young researchers, developing expertise in a world-leading research group, to drive Australia's future in mathematics.
