3 weeks ago

Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom The Open University Full time

Please note this position will be employed via a temporary staff agency.

Location: Hybrid. The supervisors will be available at Milton Keynes campus to meet regularly. Home based students are also invited to apply – meetings can be online if needed.

Please quote reference:

Terms: 10 weeks full-time, 37 hours per week or pro-rata for part-time. Work hours to suit the applicant. Meetings will take place during Monday to Friday 10 to 4. Suggested start, end of June/beginning of July.

The role

In this project you will explore how combinatorics, geometry, and number theory come together in the study of frieze patterns. These patterns were first introduced in the 1970s by Donald Coxeter, and they have attracted significant interest recently, in part because of connections with the subject of cluster algebras.

You will learn how the theory of frieze patterns can be understood using combinatorial objects known as Farey complexes. These complexes are fascinating objects, some of which carry a geometric structure associated to hyperbolic geometry.

Your research project will be to understand the connections between frieze patterns and the geometry of the associated complexes and to create visualisations to illustrate these connections.

The full summary of duties and person specification can be found within the Job Description.
