My research is in equivariant symplectic and algebraic geometry and its relation to combinatorics and representation theory. This research proposal addresses 2 topics within this broad area: the theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies, and the theory of Hessenberg varieties. ******Newton-Okounkov bodies are a far-reaching generalization of the theory of toric varieties, which connects the combinatorics of convex integral polytopes with the geometry of toric varieties. I have substantively contributed to this research area in a joint paper with Kaveh which builds toric degenerations and integrable systems in a very general setting using the theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies. My long-term research program is to (i) pursue more links between Newton-Okounkov bodies and symplectic geometry, and (ii) compute and understand concrete examples of Newton-Okounkov bodies and associated geometric invariants, with an emphasis on examples from Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry such as spherical varieties. ******Hessenberg varieties and subvarieties of the full flag variety G/B for a complex connected reductive algebraic group G. Hessenberg varieties occupy a central place in the fruitful intersection of algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and representation theory. A fundamental contribution a decade ago was Tymoczko's construction of a permutation-group representation on the cohomology rings of regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties. Crucially, recent work of Shareshian-Wachs, Brosnan-Chow and others have shown that Hessenberg varieties are intimately connected with the theory of symmetric functions, and in particular the deep unsolved Stanley-Stembridge conjecture. I have contributed substantively to this area in recent work with Precup where we use Hessenberg varieties to partially solve the Stanley-Stembridge conjecture. My long-term program in this area is to: (i) further illuminate the theory of symmetric and quasi-symmetric functions using the geometry and combinatorics of Hessenberg varieties, including but not limited to a proof of the Stanley-Stembridge conjecture, (ii) further develop and connect the theories of Newton-Okounkov bodies, Hessenberg varieties, and Schubert calculus, and (iii) develop a systematic theory of integrable systems on Hessenberg varieties. ******My proposed research objectives have potential for wide and varied impact. Firstly, it is well-known to be difficult to explicitly construct integrable systems. Therefore, my long-term goal of using my past work with Kaveh (mentioned above) to build new integrable systems has the potential to transform the field and bring rich new applications to other areas, such as representation theory. Secondly, my program of introducing geometric Hessenberg-variety techniques to the study of symmetric and quasisymmetric functions is a hot new research topic and has the potential to become a new toolkit for answering combinatorial questions.

我的研究方向是等变辛几何和代数几何及其与组合学和表示理论的关系。本研究计划涉及这一广泛领域内的两个主题：牛顿-奥库科夫体理论和海森伯格变分理论。******牛顿-奥昆科夫体是对环变理论的广泛推广，它将凸积分多面体的组合学与环变几何联系起来。我在与Kaveh的一篇联合论文中对这一研究领域做出了实质性的贡献，该论文使用牛顿-奥孔科夫体理论在非常一般的环境中构建了环退化和可积系统。我的长期研究计划是(i)寻求牛顿-奥孔科夫体和辛几何之间的更多联系，（ii）计算和理解牛顿-奥孔科夫体和相关几何不变量的具体例子，重点是来自组合代数几何的例子，如球面变分。******复连通约化代数群G的满旗G/B的Hessenberg变异体和子变异体。Hessenberg变异体在代数几何、组合学和表示理论中占有中心地位。十年前，Tymoczko在正则半单海森伯格变异的上同环上构造了一个置换群表示，这是一个根本性的贡献。至关重要的是，Shareshian-Wachs、Brosnan-Chow等人最近的研究表明，海森伯格变分与对称函数理论密切相关，尤其是深未解决的Stanley-Stembridge猜想。在最近与preup合作的工作中，我对这一领域做出了实质性的贡献，我们使用海森伯格变量部分解决了Stanley-Stembridge猜想。我在这个领域的长期计划是：(i)进一步阐明对称和准对称函数的理论，使用海森伯格变分的几何和组合学，包括但不限于Stanley-Stembridge猜想的证明，（ii）进一步发展和连接牛顿-奥昆科夫体、海森伯格变分和舒伯特微积分的理论，以及（iii）在海森伯格变分上发展可积系统的系统理论。******我提出的研究目标有可能产生广泛而多样的影响。首先，众所周知，难以明确地构造可积系统。因此，我的长期目标是利用我过去与Kaveh的工作（如上所述）来构建新的可积系统，这有可能改变该领域，并为其他领域（如表示理论）带来丰富的新应用。其次，我的项目是将几何Hessenberg-variety技术引入对称和准对称函数的研究，这是一个热门的新研究课题，有可能成为回答组合问题的新工具。
