Determining The Idealizers Of Principal Monomial Ideals Over A Rational Normal Curve, Perla A. Maldonado Cortez
Determining The Idealizers Of Principal Monomial Ideals Over A Rational Normal Curve, Perla A. Maldonado Cortez
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
Given an ideal J generated by an element of the form sm1 tm2 , where
m1 ≥ 2 and m2 ≥ 0, we illustrate how to compute the idealizer I(J) over the ring
of the rational normal curve of degree n and we give a formula for it using the
graded pieces of the sets of differential operators.
The Zariski-Riemann Space As A Universal Model For The Birational Geometry Of A Function Field, Giovan Battista Pignatti Morano Di Custoza
The Zariski-Riemann Space As A Universal Model For The Birational Geometry Of A Function Field, Giovan Battista Pignatti Morano Di Custoza
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Given a function field $K$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, we propose to use the Zariski-Riemann space $\ZR (K/k)$ of valuation rings as a universal model that governs the birational geometry of the field extension $K/k$. More specifically, we find an exact correspondence between ad-hoc collections of open subsets of $\ZR (K/k)$ ordered by quasi-refinements and the category of normal models of $K/k$ with morphisms the birational maps. We then introduce suitable Grothendieck topologies and we develop a sheaf theory on $\ZR (K/k)$ which induces, locally at once, the sheaf theory of each normal model. Conversely, given a sheaf …
John Horton Conway: The Man And His Knot Theory, Dillon Ketron
John Horton Conway: The Man And His Knot Theory, Dillon Ketron
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
John Horton Conway was a British mathematician in the twentieth century. He made notable achievements in fields such as algebra, number theory, and knot theory. He was a renowned professor at Cambridge University and later Princeton. His contributions to algebra include his discovery of the Conway group, a group in twenty-four dimensions, and the Conway Constellation. He contributed to number theory with his development of the surreal numbers. His Game of Life earned him long-lasting fame. He contributed to knot theory with his developments of the Conway polynomial, Conway sphere, and Conway notation.
The Examination Of The Arithmetic Surface (3, 5) Over Q, Rachel J. Arguelles
The Examination Of The Arithmetic Surface (3, 5) Over Q, Rachel J. Arguelles
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
This thesis is centered around the construction and analysis of the principal arithmetic surface (3, 5) over Q. By adjoining the two symbols i,j, where i2 = 3, j2 = 5, such that ij = -ji, I can produce a quaternion algebra over Q. I use this quaternion algebra to find a discrete subgroup of SL2(R), which I identify with isometries of the hyperbolic plane. From this quaternion algebra, I produce a large list of matrices and apply them via Mobius transformations to the point (0, 2), which is the center of my Dirichlet domain. This …
Varieties Of Nonassociative Rings Of Bol-Moufang Type, Ronald E. White
Varieties Of Nonassociative Rings Of Bol-Moufang Type, Ronald E. White
All NMU Master's Theses
In this paper we investigate Bol-Moufang identities in a more general and very natural setting, \textit{nonassociative rings}.
We first introduce and define common algebras. We then explore the varieties of nonassociative rings of Bol-Moufang type. We explore two separate cases, the first where we consider binary rings, rings in which we make no assumption of it's structure. The second case we explore are rings in which, $2x=0$ implies $x=0$.
Counting The Moduli Space Of Pentagons On Finite Projective Planes, Maxwell Hosler
Counting The Moduli Space Of Pentagons On Finite Projective Planes, Maxwell Hosler
Senior Independent Study Theses
Finite projective planes are finite incidence structures which generalize the concept of the real projective plane. In this paper, we consider structures of points embedded in these planes. In particular, we investigate pentagons in general position, meaning no three vertices are colinear. We are interested in properties of these pentagons that are preserved by collineation of the plane, and so can be conceived as properties of the equivalence class of polygons up to collineation as a whole. Amongst these are the symmetries of a pentagon and the periodicity of the pentagon under the pentagram map, and a generalization of …
