Q-Rational Functions And Interpolation With Complete Nevanlinna–Pick Kernels, Daniel Alpay, Paula Cerejeiras, Uwe Kaehler, Baruch Schneider
Q-Rational Functions And Interpolation With Complete Nevanlinna–Pick Kernels, Daniel Alpay, Paula Cerejeiras, Uwe Kaehler, Baruch Schneider
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
In this paper we introduce the concept of matrix-valued q-rational functions. In comparison to the classical case, we give different characterizations with principal emphasis on realizations and discuss algebraic manipulations. We also study the concept of Schur multipliers and complete Nevanlinna–Pick kernels in the context of q-deformed reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and provide first applications in terms of an interpolation problem using Schur multipliers and complete Nevanlinna–Pick kernels.
The Fundamental Groupoid In Discrete Homotopy Theory, Udit Ajit Mavinkurve
The Fundamental Groupoid In Discrete Homotopy Theory, Udit Ajit Mavinkurve
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Discrete homotopy theory is a homotopy theory designed for studying graphs and for detecting combinatorial, rather than topological, “holes”. Central to this theory are the discrete homotopy groups, defined using maps out of grids of suitable dimensions. Of these, the discrete fundamental group in particular has found applications in various areas of mathematics, including matroid theory, subspace arrangements, and topological data analysis.
In this thesis, we introduce the discrete fundamental groupoid, a multi-object generalization of the discrete fundamental group, and use it as a starting point to develop some robust computational techniques. A new notion of covering graphs allows us …
Relating Elasticity And Other Multiplicative Properties Among Orders In Number Fields And Related Rings, Grant Moles
Relating Elasticity And Other Multiplicative Properties Among Orders In Number Fields And Related Rings, Grant Moles
All Dissertations
This dissertation will explore factorization within orders in a number ring. By far the most well-understood of these orders are rings of algebraic integers. We will begin by examining how certain types of subrings may relate to the larger rings in which they are contained. We will then apply this knowledge, along with additional techniques, to determine how the elasticity in an order relates to the elasticity of the full ring of algebraic integers. Using many of the same strategies, we will develop a corresponding result in the rings of formal power series. Finally, we will explore a number of …
Cohen-Macaulay Type Of Open Neighborhood Ideals Of Unmixed Trees, Jounglag Lim
Cohen-Macaulay Type Of Open Neighborhood Ideals Of Unmixed Trees, Jounglag Lim
All Theses
Given a tree T and a field k, we define the open neighborhood ideal N(T) of T in k[V] to be the ideal generated by the open neighborhoods of all vertices in the graph. If T is unmixed with respect to the total domination problem, then it is known that N(T) is Cohen-Macaulay. Our goal is to compute the (Cohen-Macaulay) type of k[V]/N(T) using graph theoretical properties of T. We achieve this by using homological algebra and properties of monomial ideals. Along the way, we also provide a different characterization of unmixed trees and a generalization of the total dominating …

Making Sandwiches: A Novel Invariant In D-Module Theory, David Lieberman
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Say I hand you a shape, any shape. It could be a line, it could be a crinkled sheet, it could even be a the intersection of a cone with a 6-dimensional hypersurface embedded in a 7-dimensional space. Your job is to tell me about the pointy bits. This task is easier when you can draw the shape; you can you just point at them. When things get more complicated, we need a bigger hammer.
In a sense, that “bigger hammer” is what the ring of differential operators is to an algebraist. Then we will say some things and stuff …
Diving Deeper Into Supercuspidal Representations, Prerna Agarwal
Diving Deeper Into Supercuspidal Representations, Prerna Agarwal
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In 2013, Reeder and Yu introduced certain low positive depth supercuspidal representations of $p$-adic groups called \textit{epipelagic} representations. These representations generalize the simple supercuspidal representations of Gross and Reeder, which have the lowest possible depth. Epipelagic representations also arise in recent work on the Langlands correspondence; for example, simple supercuspidals appear in the automorphic data corresponding to the Kloosterman $l$-adic sheaf. In this thesis, we take a first step towards the construction of ``\textit{mesopelagic} representation (of Iwahori type)'' which are the higher depth analogues of simple supercuspidal representations. We see that these constructions can be done in a similar way …

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We consider S-operations f : An → A in which each argument is assigned a signum s ∈ S representing a “property” such as being order- preserving or order-reversing with respect to a fixed partial order on A. The set S of such properties is assumed to have a monoid structure reflecting the behaviour of these properties under the composition of S-operations (e.g., order-reversing composed with order-reversing is order- preserving). The collection of all S-operations with prescribed properties for their signed arguments is not a clone (since it is not closed under arbitrary identification of arguments), …

Building Blocks For W-Algebras Of Classical Types, Vladimir Kovalchuk
Building Blocks For W-Algebras Of Classical Types, Vladimir Kovalchuk
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The universal 2-parameter vertex algebra W∞ of type W(2, 3, 4; . . . ) serves as a classifying object for vertex algebras of type W(2, 3, . . . ,N) for some N in the sense that under mild hypothesis, all such vertex algebras arise as quotients of W∞. There is an ℕ X ℕ family of such 1-parameter vertex algebras known as Y-algebras. They were introduced by Gaiotto and Rapčák are expected to be building blocks for all W-algebras in type A, i.e, every W-(super) algebra in …

Schur Analysis Over The Unit Spectral Ball, Daniel Alpay, Ilwoo Choo
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We begin a study of Schur analysis when the variable is now a matrix rather than a complex number. We define the corresponding Hardy space, Schur multipliers and their realizations, and interpolation. Possible applications of the present work include matrices of quaternions, matrices of split quaternions, and other algebras of hypercomplex numbers.
Explicit Composition Identities For Higher Composition Laws In The Quadratic Case, Ajith A. Nair
Explicit Composition Identities For Higher Composition Laws In The Quadratic Case, Ajith A. Nair
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The theory of Gauss composition of integer binary quadratic forms provides a very useful way to compute the structure of ideal class groups in quadratic number fields. In addition to that, Gauss composition is also important in the problem of representations of integers by binary quadratic forms. In 2001, Bhargava discovered a new approach to Gauss composition which uses 2x2x2 integer cubes, and he proved a composition law for such cubes. Furthermore, from the higher composition law on cubes, he derived four new higher composition laws on the following spaces - 1) binary cubic forms, 2) pairs of binary quadratic …
Representation Theory And Its Applications In Physics, Max Varverakis
Representation Theory And Its Applications In Physics, Max Varverakis
Master's Theses
Representation theory, which encodes the elements of a group as linear operators on a vector space, has far-reaching implications in physics. Fundamental results in quantum physics emerge directly from the representations describing physical symmetries. We first examine the connections between specific representations and the principles of quantum mechanics. Then, we shift our focus to the braid group, which describes the algebraic structure of braids. We apply representations of the braid group to physical systems in order to investigate quasiparticles known as anyons. Finally, we obtain governing equations of anyonic systems to highlight the differences between braiding statistics and conventional Bose-Einstein/Fermi-Dirac …
Hyperbolic Groups And The Word Problem, David Wu
Hyperbolic Groups And The Word Problem, David Wu
Master's Theses
Mikhail Gromov’s work on hyperbolic groups in the late 1980s contributed to the formation of geometric group theory as a distinct branch of mathematics. The creation of hyperbolic metric spaces showed it was possible to define a large class of hyperbolic groups entirely geometrically yet still be able to derive significant algebraic properties. The objectives of this thesis are to provide an introduction to geometric group theory through the lens of quasi-isometry and show how hyperbolic groups have solvable word problem. Also included is the Stability Theorem as an intermediary result for quasi-isometry invariance of hyperbolicity.
On Near-Linear Cellular Automata Over Near Spaces, Abdul-Rahman M. Nasser
On Near-Linear Cellular Automata Over Near Spaces, Abdul-Rahman M. Nasser
Dissertations
Cellular Automata can be considered as examples of massively parallel machines. They are computational mathematical objects consisting of a grid of cells, each of which can exist in a finite number of states. These cells evolve over discrete time steps according to a set of predefined rules based on the states of neighboring cells. The notion of cellular automata was first introduced by Ulam and von Neumann and then popularized by John H. Conway in the 1970s with one of the most famous examples being The Game of Life.
This research builds on and generalizes the work of Tullio Ceccherini-Silberstein …

Weakly Pseudo Primary 2-Absorbing Submodules, Omar Hisham Taha, Marrwa Abdulla Salih
Al-Bahir Journal for Engineering and Pure Sciences
Let be a commutative ring with identity. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a weakly pseudo primary 2-absorbing sub-module as a generalization of a 2-absorbing sub-module and a pseudo 2-absorbing sub-module. Moreover, we give many basic properties, examples, and characterizations of these notions.
A Comparison Of Assessment Experiences Between Standards-Based Practices And Traditional Practices Within Secondary Mathematics Classrooms, Emily Mayes
Honors Theses
The purpose of this research was to compare assessment experiences and find ways to improve those experiences for students in two mathematics classrooms: one classroom that employs Standards-Based Grading and one classroom that uses traditional grading practices. The research examines students’ perceptions regarding their level of preparation, their anxiety levels surrounding assessment, the validity of assessments, and using assessments and grading practices to give accurate indications of student progress in their learning, given the students’ perceptions. Students in both settings voluntarily and anonymously participated in completing pre- and post-assessment free-response surveys which asked questions about students’ assessment experiences. This research …
Boolean Group Structure In Class Groups Of Positive Definite Quadratic Forms Of Primitive Discriminant, Christopher Albert Hudert Jr.
Boolean Group Structure In Class Groups Of Positive Definite Quadratic Forms Of Primitive Discriminant, Christopher Albert Hudert Jr.
Student Research Submissions
It is possible to completely describe the representation of any integer by binary quadratic forms of a given discriminant when the discriminant’s class group is a Boolean group (also known as an elementary abelian 2-group). For other discriminants, we can partially describe the representation using the structure of the class group. The goal of the present project is to find whether any class group with 32 elements and a primitive positive definite discriminant is a Boolean group. We find that no such class group is Boolean.
On Distortion Of Surface Groups In Right-Angled Artin Groups, Lucas Bridges
On Distortion Of Surface Groups In Right-Angled Artin Groups, Lucas Bridges
Mathematical Sciences Undergraduate Honors Theses
Surfaces have long been a topic of interest for scholars inside and outside of mathe- matics. In a topological sense, surfaces are spaces which appear flat on a local scale. Surfaces in this sense have a restricted set of properties, including the behavior of loops around a surface, codified in the fundamental group.
All but 3 surface groups have been shown to embed into a class of groups called right-angled Artin groups. The method through which these embeddings are created places large restrictions on all homomorphisms from surface groups to right-angled Artin groups.
One such restriction on these homomorphisms is …

Art And Math Via Cubic Polynomials, Polynomiography And Modulus Visualization, Bahman Kalantari
LASER Journal
Throughout history, both quadratic and cubic polynomials have been rich sources for the discovery and development of deep mathematical properties, concepts, and algorithms. In this article, we explore both classical and modern findings concerning three key attributes of polynomials: roots, fixed points, and modulus. Not only do these concepts lead to fertile ground for exploring sophisticated mathematics and engaging educational tools, but they also serve as artistic activities. By utilizing innovative practices like polynomiography—visualizations associated with polynomial root finding methods—as well as visualizations based on polynomial modulus properties, we argue that individuals can unlock their creative potential. From crafting captivating …
Classification Of Topological Defects In Cosmological Models, Abigail Swanson
Classification Of Topological Defects In Cosmological Models, Abigail Swanson
Student Research Submissions
In nature, symmetries play an extremely significant role. Understanding the symmetries of a system can tell us important information and help us make predictions. However, these symmetries can break and form a new type of symmetry in the system. Most notably, this occurs when the system goes through a phase transition. Sometimes, a symmetry can break and produce a tear, known as a topological defect, in the system. These defects cannot be removed through a continuous transformation and can have major consequences on the system as a whole. It is helpful to know what type of defect is produced when …
Representation Theory And Burnside's Theorem, Nathan Fronk
Representation Theory And Burnside's Theorem, Nathan Fronk
Senior Seminars and Capstones
In this paper we give a brief introduction to the representation theory of finite groups, and by extension character theory. These tools are extensions of group theory into linear algebra, that can then be applied back to group theory to prove propositions that are based entirely in group theory. We discuss the importance of simple groups and the Jordan-Hölder theorem in order to prepare for the statement of Burnside’s pq theorem. Lastly, we provide a proof of Burnside’s theorem that utilizes the character theory we covered earlier in the paper.

The Lowest Discriminant Ideal Of Cayley-Hamilton Hopf Algebras, Zhongkai Mi
The Lowest Discriminant Ideal Of Cayley-Hamilton Hopf Algebras, Zhongkai Mi
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Discriminant ideals are defined for an algebra R with central subalgebra C and trace tr : R → C. They are indexed by positive integers and more general than discriminants. Usually R is required to be a finite module over C. Unlike the abundace of work on discriminants, there is hardly any literature on discriminant ideals. The levels of discriminant ideals relate to the sums of squares of dimensions of irreducible modules over maximal ideals of C containing these discriminant ideals. We study the lowest level when R is a Cayley-Hamilton Hopf algebra, i.e. C is also a Hopf subalgebra, …
Extensions Of Algebraic Frames, Papiya Bhattacharjee
Extensions Of Algebraic Frames, Papiya Bhattacharjee
Algebra Seminar
A frame is a complete lattice that satisfies a strong distributive law, known as the frame law. Frames are also known as Pointfree Topology, as every topology is a frame. Even though the concept of frames originated from topology, the idea has expanded to many other areas of mathematics and frames are now studied in their own merit. Given two frame L and M, we say M is an extension of L if L is a subframe of M. In this talk we will discuss different types of frames extensions, such as Rigid extension, r-extension, and r*-extension between two frames. …
On Properties Of Pair Operations, Sarah Jane Poiani
On Properties Of Pair Operations, Sarah Jane Poiani
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
For any closure operation $\cl$ and interior operation $\ri$ on a class of $R$-modules, we develop the theory of $\cl$-prereductions and $\ri$-postexpansions. A pair operation is a generalization of closure and interior operations. Using Epstein, R.G. and Vassilev's duality \cite{ERGV-nonres}, we show that these notions are in fact dual to each other. We discuss the relationship between the core and hull and prereductions and postexpansions. We further the thematic notion of duality and seek to understand how it arises in the context of properties pair operations can be endowed with and focus on inner product spaces and properties demonstrated by …

Structure Of A Class Of Ordinary Differential Equations, Letao Chang
SACAD: John Heinrichs Scholarly and Creative Activity Days
In the realm of mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (ODE) denotes a particular type of differential equation contingent solely upon a single independent variable. Similar to other differential equations, an ODE involves one or more functions as its unknowns and encompasses derivatives of these functions. The designation "ordinary" serves to distinguish these equations from partial differential equations, which may pertain to multiple independent variables.
