Geometry lies at the core of modern mathematics with deep and wide
implications in all other mathematical disciplines. In the last decade
there has been an extraordinary confluence of ideas in mathematics and
theoretical physics brought about by pioneering discoveries in geometry
and analysis. Geometry pervades modern technology (medical imaging and
information security being two well known examples).
At one time a University Research Centre and the research arm of
the Discipline of Pure Mathematics in the School of Mathematical Sciences, the
Institute for Geometry and its Applications (IGA)
was founded on the 7th of November 1996, in recognition
of the strong group of researchers in geometry and its applications
at Adelaide, with its
inaugural director being Professor Michael Eastwood
(Adelaide).
The IGA organises symposia, workshops, instructional schools
and regular seminars.
The IGA also provides collaborative
opportunities to promote research in geometry.
The
IGA staff are currently researching in a wide range of subjects in the
area of geometry including differential, finite, complex, non-commutative
and algebraic geometry together with geometric topics in mathematical
physics including quantum theory, topological phases of matter, string theory; geometric analysis; index theory; K-theory; moduli
spaces; category theory; information security and
representation theory.
The IGA has recently been recognized as being one of the University's
Research Expertise and Strengths in the fundamental disciplines.
In the recent 2018
Excellence in Research for Australia
(ERA) nationwide rankings,
Pure Mathematics
at Adelaide received the outstanding
score of 5 (out of 5), rating it
well above world standard
as well as (joint) top ranking in the nation, photo.
For the 2018 ERA rankings within the university, see
here.
The School of Mathematics also received a top ERA 5 rating as well as a top rating
in the new 2018 EI (Engagement and Impact) assessment.
In the 2015
Excellence in Research for Australia
(ERA) nationwide rankings,
Pure Mathematics
at Adelaide received the outstanding
score of 5 (out of 5), rating it
well above world standard
as well as (joint) top ranking in the nation.
