Exploring The Structure Of Partial Difference Sets With Denniston Parameters, Nicolas Ferree May 2023

Exploring The Structure Of Partial Difference Sets With Denniston Parameters, Nicolas Ferree

Honors Theses

In this work, we investigate the structure of particular partial difference sets (PDS) of size 70 with Denniston parameters in an elementary abelian group and in a nonelementary abelian group. We will make extensive use of character theory in our investigation and ultimately seek to understand the nature of difference sets with these parameters. To begin, we will cover some basic definitions and examples of difference sets and partial difference sets. We will then move on to some basic theorems about partial difference sets before introducing a group ring formalism and using it to explore several important constructions of partial …


[Introduction To] Finite Blaschke Products And Their Connections, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Javad Mashreghi, William T. Ross Jan 2018

[Introduction To] Finite Blaschke Products And Their Connections, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Javad Mashreghi, William T. Ross

Bookshelf

This monograph offers an introduction to finite Blaschke products and their connections to complex analysis, linear algebra, operator theory, matrix analysis, and other fields. Old favorites such as the Carathéodory approximation and the Pick interpolation theorems are featured, as are many topics that have never received a modern treatment, such as the Bohr radius and Ritt's theorem on decomposability. Deep connections to hyperbolic geometry are explored, as are the mapping properties, zeros, residues, and critical points of finite Blaschke products. In addition, model spaces, rational functions with real boundary values, spectral mapping properties of the numerical range, and the Darlington …


Optimal Weak Parallelogram Constants For L-P Spaces, Raymond Cheng, Javad Mashreghi, William T. Ross Jan 2018

Optimal Weak Parallelogram Constants For L-P Spaces, Raymond Cheng, Javad Mashreghi, William T. Ross

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Inspired by Clarkson's inequalities for L-p and continuing work from [5], this paper computes the optimal constant C in the weak parallelogram laws parallel to f + g parallel to(r )+ C parallel to f - g parallel to(r )= 2(r-1 )(parallel to f parallel to(r) + parallel to g parallel to(r)) for the L-p spaces, 1 < p < infinity.
