Calculating the Essential p-Dimension of the Finite Simple Groups

该奖项是作为2023财年数学科学博士后研究奖学金计划的一部分。每个奖学金支持一个研究和培训项目，在主办机构的数学科学，包括应用到其他学科，在赞助科学家的指导下。这个奖学金的项目的标题汉娜奈特是“必要的p-维的有限简单群”。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·梅库列夫。该奖项反映了NSF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.
