Rough Numbers And Variations On The Erdős--Kac Theorem, Kai Fan
Rough Numbers And Variations On The Erdős--Kac Theorem, Kai Fan
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
The study of arithmetic functions, functions with domain N and codomain C, has been a central topic in number theory. This work is dedicated to the study of the distribution of arithmetic functions of great interest in analytic and probabilistic number theory.
In the first part, we study the distribution of positive integers free of prime factors less than or equal to any given real number y>=1. Denoting by Phi(x,y) the count of these numbers up to any given x>=y, we show, by a combination of analytic methods and sieves, that Phi(x,y)<0.6x/\log y holds uniformly for all 3<=y<=sqrt{x}, improving upon an earlier result of the author in the same range. We also prove numerically explicit estimates of the de Bruijn type for Phi(x,y) which are applicable in wide ranges.
In the second part, we turn …
0.6x/\log>Jones Polynomial Obstructions For Positivity Of Knots, Lizzie Buchanan
Jones Polynomial Obstructions For Positivity Of Knots, Lizzie Buchanan
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
The fundamental problem in knot theory is distinguishing one knot from another. We accomplish this by looking at knot invariants. One such invariant is positivity. A knot is positive if it has a diagram in which all crossings are positive. A knot is almost-positive if it does not have a diagram where all crossings are positive, but it does have a diagram in which all but one crossings are positive. Given a knot with an almost-positive diagram, it is in general very hard to determine whether it might also have a positive diagram. This work provides positivity obstructions for three …
Effective Non-Hermiticity And Topology In Markovian Quadratic Bosonic Dynamics, Vincent Paul Flynn
Effective Non-Hermiticity And Topology In Markovian Quadratic Bosonic Dynamics, Vincent Paul Flynn
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
Recently, there has been an explosion of interest in re-imagining many-body quantum phenomena beyond equilibrium. One such effort has extended the symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase classification of non-interacting fermions to driven and dissipative settings, uncovering novel topological phenomena that are not known to exist in equilibrium which may have wide-ranging applications in quantum science. Similar physics in non-interacting bosonic systems has remained elusive. Even at equilibrium, an "effective non-Hermiticity" intrinsic to bosonic Hamiltonians poses theoretical challenges. While this non-Hermiticity has been acknowledged, its implications have not been explored in-depth. Beyond this dynamical peculiarity, major roadblocks have arisen in the search …
Brill--Noether Theory Via K3 Surfaces, Richard Haburcak
Brill--Noether Theory Via K3 Surfaces, Richard Haburcak
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
Brill--Noether theory studies the different projective embeddings that an algebraic curve admits. For a curve with a given projective embedding, we study the question of what other projective embeddings the curve can admit. Our techniques use curves on K3 surfaces. Lazarsfeld's proof of the Gieseker--Petri theorem solidified the role of K3 surfaces in the Brill--Noether theory of curves. In this thesis, we further the study of the Brill--Noether theory of curves on K3 surfaces.
We prove results concerning lifting line bundles from curves to K3 surfaces. Via an analysis of the stability of Lazarsfeld--Mukai bundles, we deduce a bounded version …
Counting Elliptic Curves With A Cyclic M-Isogeny Over Q, Grant S. Molnar
Counting Elliptic Curves With A Cyclic M-Isogeny Over Q, Grant S. Molnar
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
Using methods from analytic number theory, for m > 5 and for m = 4, we obtain asymptotics with power-saving error terms for counts of elliptic curves with a cyclic m-isogeny up to quadratic twist over the rational numbers. For m > 5, we then apply a Tauberian theorem to achieve asymptotics with power saving error for counts of elliptic curves with a cyclic m-isogeny up to isomorphism over the rational numbers.
The Multiset Partition Algebra: Diagram-Like Bases And Representations, Alexander N. Wilson
The Multiset Partition Algebra: Diagram-Like Bases And Representations, Alexander N. Wilson
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
There is a classical connection between the representation theory of the symmetric group and the general linear group called Schur--Weyl Duality. Variations on this principle yield analogous connections between the symmetric group and other objects such as the partition algebra and more recently the multiset partition algebra. The partition algebra has a well-known basis indexed by graph-theoretic diagrams which allows the multiplication in the algebra to be understood visually as combinations of these diagrams. My thesis begins with a construction of an analogous basis for the multiset partition algebra. It continues with applications of this basis to constructing the irreducible …
Spectral Sequences And Khovanov Homology, Zachary J. Winkeler
Spectral Sequences And Khovanov Homology, Zachary J. Winkeler
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
In this thesis, we will focus on two main topics; the common thread between both will be the existence of spectral sequences relating Khovanov homology to other knot invariants. Our first topic is an invariant MKh(L) for links in thickened disks with multiple punctures. This invariant is different from but inspired by both the Asaeda-Pryzytycki-Sikora (APS) homology and its specialization to links in the solid torus. Our theory will be constructed from a Z^n-filtration on the Khovanov complex, and as a result we will get various spectral sequences relating MKh(L) to Kh(L), AKh(L), and APS(L). Our …
Triangular Modular Curves Of Low Genus And Geometric Quadratic Chabauty, Juanita Duque Rosero
Triangular Modular Curves Of Low Genus And Geometric Quadratic Chabauty, Juanita Duque Rosero
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
This manuscript consists of two parts. In the first part, we study generalizations of modular curves: triangular modular curves. These curves have played an important role in recent developments in number theory, particularly concerning hypergeometric abelian varieties and approaches to solving generalized Fermat equations. We provide a new result that shows that there are only finitely many Borel-type triangular modular curves of any fixed genus, and we present an algorithm to list all such curves of a given genus.
In the second part of the manuscript, we explore the problem of computing the set of rational points on a smooth, …
