Erman grant on mathematics inspired by mirror symmetry

UH News has written an article by Daniel Erman’s collaborative NSF Focused Research Group grant on “Multigraded Commutative
Algebra, Toric Varieties, and Homological Mirror Symmetry.” The grant is for $1.5M across six different institutions: UH Mānoa, Auburn University, University of Minnesota, University of South Carolina, University of Southern California, and University of Oregon.

While the grant is primarily focused on collaborative research among the group of 7 PI’s, it will also support opportunities for early-career researchers and students, including workshops, graduate student support, and a postdoctoral fellow at UH Mānoa from 2025-2028.
