The G_2-Hitchin Component Of Triangle Groups: Dimension And Integer Points, Hannah E. Downs
The G_2-Hitchin Component Of Triangle Groups: Dimension And Integer Points, Hannah E. Downs
Doctoral Dissertations
The image of $\PSL(2,\reals)$ under the irreducible representation into $\PSL(7,\reals)$ is contained in the split real form $G_{2}^{4,3}$ of the exceptional Lie group $G_{2}$. This irreducible representation therefore gives a representation $\rho$ of a hyperbolic triangle group $\Gamma(p,q,r)$ into $G_{2}^{4,3}$, and the \textit{Hitchin component} of the representation variety $\Hom(\Gamma(p,q,r),G_{2}^{4,3})$ is the component of $\Hom(\Gamma(p,q,r),G_{2}^{4,3})$ containing $\rho$.
This thesis is in two parts: (i) we give a simple, elementary proof of a formula for the dimension of this Hitchin component, this formula having been obtained earlier in [Alessandrini et al.], \citep{Alessandrini2023}, as part of a wider investigation using Higgs bundle techniques, …
Reduced Order Modeling And Analysis Of Cardiac Chaos, Tuhin Subhra Das
Reduced Order Modeling And Analysis Of Cardiac Chaos, Tuhin Subhra Das
Doctoral Dissertations
Numerous physiological processes are functioning at the level of cells, tissues and organs in the human body, out of which some are oscillatory and some are non-oscillatory. Networks of coupled oscillators are widely studied in the modeling of oscillatory or rhythmical physiological processes. Phase-isostable reduction is an emerging model reduction strategy that can be used to accurately replicate nonlinear behaviors in dynamical systems for which standard phase reduction techniques fail. We apply strategies of phase reduction, or isostable reductions in biologically motivated problems like eliminating cardiac alternans to alleviate arrhythmia by applying energy-optimal, non-feedback type control solutions.

An Exploration Of Absolute Minimal Degree Lifts Of Hyperelliptic Curves, Justin A. Groves
An Exploration Of Absolute Minimal Degree Lifts Of Hyperelliptic Curves, Justin A. Groves
Doctoral Dissertations
For any ordinary elliptic curve E over a field with non-zero characteristic p, there exists an elliptic curve E over the ring of Witt vectors W(E) for which we can lift the Frobenius morphism, called the canonical lift. Voloch and Walker used this theory of canonical liftings of elliptic curves over Witt vectors of length 2 to construct non-linear error-correcting codes for characteristic two. Finotti later proved that for longer lengths of Witt vectors there are better lifts than the canonical. He then proved that, more generally, for hyperelliptic curves one can construct a lifting over …
Explicit Constructions Of Canonical And Absolute Minimal Degree Lifts Of Twisted Edwards Curves, William Coleman Bitting Iv
Explicit Constructions Of Canonical And Absolute Minimal Degree Lifts Of Twisted Edwards Curves, William Coleman Bitting Iv
Doctoral Dissertations
Twisted Edwards Curves are a representation of Elliptic Curves given by the solutions of bx^2 + y^2 = 1 + ax^2y^2. Due to their simple and unified formulas for adding distinct points and doubling, Twisted Edwards Curves have found extensive applications in fields such as cryptography. In this thesis, we study the Canonical Liftings of Twisted Edwards Curves and the associated lift of points Elliptic Teichmu ̈ller Lift. The coordinate functions of the latter are proved to be polynomials, and their degrees and derivatives are computed. Moreover, an algorithm is described for explicit computations, and some properties of the general …
Computational Aspects Of Mixed Characteristic Witt Vectors And Denominators In Canonical Liftings Of Elliptic Curves, Jacob Dennerlein
Computational Aspects Of Mixed Characteristic Witt Vectors And Denominators In Canonical Liftings Of Elliptic Curves, Jacob Dennerlein
Doctoral Dissertations
Given an ordinary elliptic curve E over a field 𝕜 of characteristic p, there is an elliptic curve E over the Witt vectors W(𝕜) for which we can lift the Frobenius morphism, called the canonical lifting of E. The Weierstrass coefficients and the elliptic Teichmüller lift of E are given by rational functions over 𝔽_p that depend only on the coefficients and points of E. Finotti studied the properties of these rational functions over fields of characteristic p ≥ 5. We investigate the same properties for fields of characteristic 2 and 3, make progress on …
Large Deviations For Self Intersection Local Times Of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Processes, Apostolos Gournaris
Large Deviations For Self Intersection Local Times Of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Processes, Apostolos Gournaris
Doctoral Dissertations
In the area of large deviations, people concern about the asymptotic computation of small probabilities on an exponential scale. The general form of large deviations can be roughly described as: P{Yn ∈ A} ≈ exp{−bnI(A)} (n → ∞), for a random sequence {Yn}, a positive sequence bn with bn → ∞, and a coefficient I(A) ≥ 0. In applications, we often concern about the probability that the random variables take large values, that is we concern about the P{Yn ≥ λ}, where λ > 0. Here, we consider the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, study the properties of the local times and self intersection …
Adaptive And Topological Deep Learning With Applications To Neuroscience, Edward Mitchell
Adaptive And Topological Deep Learning With Applications To Neuroscience, Edward Mitchell
Doctoral Dissertations
Deep Learning and neuroscience have developed a two way relationship with each informing the other. Neural networks, the main tools at the heart of Deep Learning, were originally inspired by connectivity in the brain and have now proven to be critical to state-of-the-art computational neuroscience methods. This dissertation explores this relationship, first, by developing an adaptive sampling method for a neural network-based partial different equation solver and then by developing a topological deep learning framework for neural spike decoding. We demonstrate that our adaptive scheme is convergent and more accurate than DGM -- as long as the residual mirrors the …
Coefficients Of Modular Forms And Applications To Partition Theory, Michael Anthony Hanson
Coefficients Of Modular Forms And Applications To Partition Theory, Michael Anthony Hanson

We begin with an overview of the theory of modular forms as well as some relevant sub-topics in order to discuss three results: the first result concerns positivity of self-conjugate t-core partitions under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis; the second result bounds certain types of congruences called "Ramanujan congruences" for an infinite class of eta-quotients - this has an immediate application to a certain restricted partition function whose congruences have been studied in the past; the third result strengthens a previous result that relates weakly holomorphic modular forms to newforms via p-adic limits.
