FRG Project Overview

In April 2013, NSF announced that a collaborative team of mathematicians and mathematical physicists at Stanford University, the University of Oregon, the University of Alaska, and UC San Diego had received a $798K NSF Focussed Research Group (FRG) Award: Analysis of the Einstein Constraint Equations. The FRG funding award will allow the team to tackle several long-standing open problems in mathematical general relativity. Here is a link to the NSF announcement and FRG project summary.

This is main website for the FRG Project, which is a collaboration between groups at Stanford University, the University of Alaska, the University of Oregon, and the University of California, San Diego.
