This award supports the research of Professor Helene Barcelo in the field of algebraic combinatorics. The algebraic shifting method introduced by Kalai in 1984 has proven to be an extremely successful tool for characterizing the f-vectors of a wide range of classes of simplicial complexes. The goal of this research is to investigate possible generalizations of this method to algebraic structures other than simplicial complexes. The algebraic structures to be studied share the common property that they have a class of combinatorial objects associated with them. This research is in the general area of Combinatorics. Combinatorics attempts to find efficient methods to study how discrete collections of objects can be arranged. The behavior of discrete systems is extremely important to modern communications. For example, the design of lapge networks, such as those occurring in telephone systems, and the design of algorithms in computer science deal with discrete sets of objects, and this makes use of combinatorial research.

该奖项支持教授Helene Escherio在代数组合学领域的研究。Kalai在1984年引入的代数移位方法已经被证明是一个非常成功的工具，用于表征各种单纯复形的f-向量。本研究的目标是调查可能的推广，这种方法的代数结构，而不是单纯复形。要研究的代数结构有一个共同的性质，即它们有一类与之相关的组合对象。 这项研究是在组合数学的一般领域。组合数学试图找到有效的方法来研究如何安排离散的对象集合。离散系统的行为对现代通信极为重要。例如，lapge网络的设计，如那些发生在电话系统中的设计，以及计算机科学中的算法设计，都是处理离散的对象集，这就利用了组合研究。
