Calculating the Essential p-Dimension of the Finite Simple Groups

该奖项是2023财年数学科学博士后研究奖学金计划的一部分。每一项奖学金在一名赞助科学家的指导下，支持一项在主办机构进行的数学科学研究和培训项目，包括对其他学科的应用。汉娜·奈特奖学金项目的题目是“有限单群的基本p维”。该奖学金的主办机构是加州大学洛杉矶分校，赞助科学家是亚历山大·梅尔库耶夫。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is made as part of the FY 2023 Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships Program. Each of the fellowships supports a research and training project at a host institution in the mathematical sciences, including applications to other disciplines, under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist.The title of the project for this fellowship to Hannah Knight is “Essential p-Dimension of the Finite Simple Groups". The host institution for the fellowship is the University of California – Los Angeles, and the sponsoring scientist is Alexander Merkurjev.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
