The function 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 lgain 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 connected to hyperbolic geometry. Your research project will be to understand the connections between frieze patterns and the geometry of the connected complexes and to create visualisations to illustrate these connections. The full summary of tasks and person specification can be found within the Job Description.
