Concentration Theorems For Orthonormal Sequences In A Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space, Travis Alvarez
Concentration Theorems For Orthonormal Sequences In A Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space, Travis Alvarez
All Dissertations
Let H be a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with reproducing kernel elements {Kx} indexed by a measure space {X,mu}. If H can be embedded in L2(X,mu), then H can be viewed as a framed Hilbert space. We study concentration of orthonormal sequences in such reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
Defining different versions of concentration, we find quantitative upper bounds on the number of orthonormal functions that can be classified by such concentrations. Examples are shown to prove sharpness of the bounds. In the cases that we can add "concentrated" orthonormal vectors indefinitely, the growth rate of doing so is shown.
On The Thom Isomorphism For Groupoid-Equivariant Representable K-Theory, Zachary J. Garvey
On The Thom Isomorphism For Groupoid-Equivariant Representable K-Theory, Zachary J. Garvey
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
This thesis proves a general Thom Isomorphism in groupoid-equivariant KK-theory. Through formalizing a certain pushforward functor, we contextualize the Thom isomorphism to groupoid-equivariant representable K-theory with various support conditions. Additionally, we explicitly verify that a Thom class, determined by pullback of the Bott element via a generalized groupoid homomorphism, coincides with a Thom class defined via equivariant spinor bundles and Clifford multiplication. The tools developed in this thesis are then used to generalize a particularly interesting equivalence of two Thom isomorphisms on TX, for a Riemannian G-manifold X.
A Comprehensive Survey On Functional Approximation, Yucheng Hua
A Comprehensive Survey On Functional Approximation, Yucheng Hua
Honors Projects
The theory of functional approximation has numerous applications in sciences and industry. This thesis focuses on the possible approaches to approximate a continuous function on a compact subset of R2 using a variety of constructions. The results are presented from the following four general topics: polynomials, Fourier series, wavelets, and neural networks. Approximation with polynomials on subsets of R leads to the discussion of the Stone-Weierstrass theorem. Convergence of Fourier series is characterized on the unit circle. Wavelets are introduced following the Fourier transform, and their construction as well as ability to approximate functions in L2(R) is …
A Brief On Optimal Transport, Austin G. Vandegriffe
A Brief On Optimal Transport, Austin G. Vandegriffe
Graduate Student Research & Creative Works
Optimal transport is an interesting and exciting application of measure theory to optimization and analysis. In the following, I will bring you through a detailed treatment of random variable couplings, transport plans, basic properties of transport plans, and finishing with the Wasserstein distance on spaces of probability measures with compact support. No detail is left out in this presentation, but some results have further generality and more intricate consequences when tools like measure disintegration are used. But this is left for future work.
Unbounded Derivations Of C*-Algebras And The Heisenberg Commutation Relation, Lara M. Ismert
Unbounded Derivations Of C*-Algebras And The Heisenberg Commutation Relation, Lara M. Ismert
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This dissertation investigates the properties of unbounded derivations on C*-algebras, namely the density of their analytic vectors and a property we refer to as "kernel stabilization." We focus on a weakly-defined derivation δD which formalizes commutators involving unbounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space. These commutators naturally arise in quantum mechanics, as we briefly describe in the introduction.
A first application of kernel stabilization for δD shows that a large class of abstract derivations on unbounded C*-algebras, defined by O. Bratteli and D. Robinson, also have kernel stabilization. A second application of kernel stabilization provides a sufficient condition …
Non-Euclidean Metric On The Resolvent Set, Mai Thi Thuy Tran
Non-Euclidean Metric On The Resolvent Set, Mai Thi Thuy Tran
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
For a bounded linear operator $A$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, the Douglas-Yang metric on the resolvent set $\rho(A)$ is defined by the metric function $g_{\vec{x}}(z)=\left \| \big(A -z I\big)^{-1} \vec{x} \right \|^2$, where $\vec{x} \in \mathcal{H}$ with $\left \| \vec{x} \right \|=1$.
Invariant Subspaces Of Compact Operators And Related Topics, Weston Mckay Grewe
Invariant Subspaces Of Compact Operators And Related Topics, Weston Mckay Grewe
Mathematics
The invariant subspace problem asks if every bounded linear operator on a Banach space has a nontrivial closed invariant subspace. Per Enflo has shown this is false in general, however it is known that every compact operator has an invariant subspace. The purpose of this project is to explore introductory results in functional analysis. Specifically we are interested in understanding compact operators and the proof that all compact operators on a Hilbert space have an invariant subspace. In the process of doing this we build up many examples and theorems relating to operators on a Hilbert or Banach space. Continuing …
Orthosymmetric Maps And Polynomial Valuations, Stephan Christopher Roberts
Orthosymmetric Maps And Polynomial Valuations, Stephan Christopher Roberts
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
We present a characterization of orthogonally additive polynomials on vector lattices as orthosymmetric multilinear maps. Our proof avoids partitionaly orthosymmetric maps and results that represent orthogonally additive polynomials as linear maps on a power. We also prove band characterizations for order bounded polynomial valuations and for order continuous polynomials of order bounded variation. Finally, we use polynomial valuations to prove that a certain restriction of the Arens extension of a bounded orthosymmetric multilinear map is orthosymmetric.
Integrability And Regularity Of Rational Functions, Greg Knese
Integrability And Regularity Of Rational Functions, Greg Knese
Mathematics Faculty Publications
Motivated by recent work in the mathematics and engineering literature, we study integrability and non-tangential regularity on the two-torus for rational functions that are holomorphic on the bidisk. One way to study such rational functions is to fix the denominator and look at the ideal of polynomials in the numerator such that the rational function is square integrable. A concrete list of generators is given for this ideal as well as a precise count of the dimension of the subspace of numerators with a specified bound on bidegree. The dimension count is accomplished by constructing a natural pair of commuting …
A Weak Groethendieck Compactness Principle For Infinite Dimensional Banach Spaces, Kaitlin Bjorkman
A Weak Groethendieck Compactness Principle For Infinite Dimensional Banach Spaces, Kaitlin Bjorkman
Theses and Dissertations
The goal of this thesis is to give an exposition of the following recent result of Freeman, Lennard, Odell, Turett and Randrianantoanina. A Banach space has the Schur property if and only if every weakly compact set is contained in the closed convex hull of a weakly null sequence. This result complements an old result of Grothendieck (now called the Grothendieck Compactness Principle) stating that every norm compact subset of a Banach space is contained in the closed convex hull of a norm null sequence. We include many of the relevant definitions and preliminary results which are required in the …
Optimal Dual Frames For Erasures And Discrete Gabor Frames, Jerry Lopez
Optimal Dual Frames For Erasures And Discrete Gabor Frames, Jerry Lopez
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Since their discovery in the early 1950's, frames have emerged as an important tool in areas such as signal processing, image processing, data compression and sampling theory, just to name a few. Our purpose of this dissertation is to investigate dual frames and the ability to find dual frames which are optimal when coping with the problem of erasures in data transmission. In addition, we study a special class of frames which exhibit algebraic structure, discrete Gabor frames. Much work has been done in the study of discrete Gabor frames in Rn, but very little is known about the l2(Z) …
