Sphericals And Primitives Classes In The Bordism Of Compact Lie Groups, Rodrigo-Guillermo Moreno-Rodriguez Jan 1986

Sphericals And Primitives Classes In The Bordism Of Compact Lie Groups, Rodrigo-Guillermo Moreno-Rodriguez

Digitized Theses

The main purpose of this thesis is to study the following question: Do primitives and sphericals agree in MU(,*)(X)/tor when X is a 1-connected compact Lie group. Our answers appear in Part IV for the classical groups (stable cases) and in Part V for two exceptional cases namely G(,2) and F(,4) (ignoring the prime 2).;The main tool for our study is the rational MU operation P : MU(,*)(X)(CRTIMES) (--->) MU(,*)(X)(CRTIMES) ; P = (SIGMA)(,E) m(,E)S(,E) which detects primitives rationally. Our method is to find the least positive integer k(,(alpha)) (ELEM) such that k(,(alpha))P((alpha)) (ELEM) MU(,*)(X)/tor (L-HOOK) MU(,*)(X)(CRTIMES) for (alpha) …

Localized Algebraic K-Theory, Felipe De Zaldivar-Cruz

Digitized Theses

Let K(,*)(A; /L('n)) denote the mod-L('n) algebraic K-theory of a 1/L -algebra A. V. Snaith has studied Bott-periodic algebraic K-theory K(,i)(A; /L('n)) 1/(beta)(,n) , the direct limit of iterated multiplications by (beta)(,n), the 'Bott element', using the K-theory product. For L an odd prime, Snaith has given a description of K(,*)(A; /L('n))(1/(beta)(,n)) using Adams maps between Moore spectra. These constructions are interesting, in particular, for their connections with the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture.;In this thesis we obtain an analogous description of K(,*)(A; /2('n)) 1/(beta)(,n) , n (GREATERTHEQ) 2, for an algebra A with 1/2 (ELEM) A and such that A contains a …


Numerical Techniques For Free Surface Problems In Viscous Incompressible And Porous Flows, Ching Yuen Loh Jan 1986

Numerical Techniques For Free Surface Problems In Viscous Incompressible And Porous Flows, Ching Yuen Loh

Digitized Theses

Three free surface problems have been investigated. The first two involve incompressible flows and the last one involves porous flow. These problems are solved numerically by finite difference technique. In each problem the original physical domain with a free surface is transformed into a rectangular domain and then the appropriate finite difference schemes are used in the new transformed domain to carry out the computation.;In the first problem the attenuation of a large amplitude standing capillary-gravity wave is considered. A finite difference scheme similar to the Crank-Nicolson scheme is developed to handle the equation of the free surface. Convergent numerical …
