Galois 2-Extensions, Masoud Ataei Jaliseh
Galois 2-Extensions, Masoud Ataei Jaliseh
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The inverse Galois problem is a major question in mathematics. For a given base field and a given finite group $G$, one would like to list all Galois extensions $L/F$ such that the Galois group of $L/F$ is $G$.
In this work we shall solve this problem for all fields $F$, and for group $G$ of unipotent $4 \times 4$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_2$. We also list all $16$ $U_4 (\mathbb{F}_2)$-extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_2$. The importance of these results is that they answer the inverse Galois problem in some specific cases.
This is joint work with J\'an Min\'a\v{c} and Nguyen Duy T\^an.
Obstruction Criteria For Modular Deformation Problems, Jeffrey Hatley Jr
Obstruction Criteria For Modular Deformation Problems, Jeffrey Hatley Jr
Doctoral Dissertations
For a cuspidal newform f of weight k at least 3 and a prime p of the associated number field Kf, the deformation problem for its associated mod p Galois representation is unobstructed for all primes outside some finite set. Previous results gave an explicit bound on this finite set for f of squarefree level; we modify this bound and remove the squarefree hypothesis. We also show that if the p-adic deformation problem for f is unobstructed, then f is not congruent mod p to a newform of lower level.

Idaho Conference on Undergraduate Research
With the large scale proliferation of networked devices ranging from medical implants like pacemakers and insulin pumps, to corporate information assets, secure authentication, data integrity and confidentiality have become some of the central goals for cybersecurity. Cryptographic hash functions have many applications in information security and are commonly used to verify data authenticity. Our research focuses on the study of the properties that dictate the security of a cryptographic hash functions that use Even-Mansour type of ciphers in their underlying structure. In particular, we investigate the algebraic design requirements of the Grøstl hash function and its generalizations. Grøstl is an …

Unique Prime Factorization Of Ideals In The Ring Of Algebraic Integers Of An Imaginary Quadratic Number Field, Nolberto Rezola
Unique Prime Factorization Of Ideals In The Ring Of Algebraic Integers Of An Imaginary Quadratic Number Field, Nolberto Rezola
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
The ring of integers is a very interesting ring, it has the amazing property that each of its elements may be expressed uniquely, up to order, as a product of prime elements. Unfortunately, not every ring possesses this property for its elements. The work of mathematicians like Kummer and Dedekind lead to the study of a special type of ring, which we now call a Dedekind domain, where even though unique prime factorization of elements may fail, the ideals of a Dedekind domain still enjoy the property of unique prime factorization into a product of prime ideals, up to order …
Commutative N-Ary Arithmetic, Aram Bingham
Commutative N-Ary Arithmetic, Aram Bingham
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Motivated by primality and integer factorization, this thesis introduces generalizations of standard binary multiplication to commutative n-ary operations based upon geometric construction and representation. This class of operations are constructed to preserve commutativity and identity so that binary multiplication is included as a special case, in order to preserve relationships with ordinary multiplicative number theory. This leads to a study of their expression in terms of elementary symmetric polynomials, and connections are made to results from the theory of polyadic (n-ary) groups. Higher order operations yield wider factorization and representation possibilities which correspond to reductions in the set of primes …
Explorations Of The Collatz Conjecture (Mod M), Glenn Micah Jackson Jr
Explorations Of The Collatz Conjecture (Mod M), Glenn Micah Jackson Jr
Honors College Theses
The Collatz Conjecture is a deceptively difficult problem recently developed in mathematics. In full, the conjecture states: Begin with any positive integer and generate a sequence as follows: If a number is even, divide it by two. Else, multiply by three and add one. Repetition of this process will eventually reach the value 1. Proof or disproof of this seemingly simple conjecture have remained elusive. However, it is known that if the generated Collatz Sequence reaches a cycle other than 4, 2, 1, the conjecture is disproven. This fact has motivated our search for occurrences of 4, 2, 1, and …
A Fundamental Unit Of O_K, Susana L. Munoz
A Fundamental Unit Of O_K, Susana L. Munoz
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
In the classical case we make use of Pells equation to compute units in the ring OF. Consider the parallel to the classical case and the quadratic field extension that creates the ring OK. We use the generalized Pell's equation to find the units in this ring since they are solutions. Through the use of continued fractions we may further characterize this ring and compute its units.
Polynomials Occuring In Generating Function Identities For B-Ary Partitions, David Dakota Blair
Polynomials Occuring In Generating Function Identities For B-Ary Partitions, David Dakota Blair
Graduate Student Publications and Research
Let p_b(n) be the number of integer partitions of n whose parts are powers of b. For each m there is a generating function identity:
f_m(b,q)\sum_{n} p_b(n) q^n = (1-q)^m \sum_{n} p_b(b^m n q)q^n
where n ranges over all integer values. The proof of this identity appears in the doctoral thesis of the author. For more information see http://dakota.tensen.net/2015/rp/.
This dataset is a JSON object with keys m from 1 to 23 whose values are f_m(b,q).
Further Results On Vanishing Coefficients In Infinite Product Expansions, James Mclaughlin
Further Results On Vanishing Coefficients In Infinite Product Expansions, James Mclaughlin
Mathematics Faculty Publications
We extend results of Andrews and Bressoud on the vanishing of coefficients in the series expansions of certain infinite products. These results have the form that if (q r−tk, qmk−(r−tk) ; q mk)∞ (q r, qmk−r; qmk)∞ =: X∞ n=0 cnq n , for certain integers k, m s and t, where r = sm+t, then ckn−rs is always zero. Our theorems also partly give a simpler reformulation of results of Alladi and Gordon, but also give results for cases not covered by the theorems of Alladi and Gordon. We also give some interpretations of the analytic results in terms …
Integral Generalized Binomial Coefficients Of Multiplicative Functions, Imanuel Chen
Integral Generalized Binomial Coefficients Of Multiplicative Functions, Imanuel Chen
Summer Research
The binomial coefficients are interestingly always integral. However, when you generalize the binomial coefficients to any class of function, this is not always the case. Multiplicative functions satisfy the properties: f(ab) = f(a)f(b) when a and b are relatively prime, and f(1) = 1. Tom Edgar of Pacific Lutheran University and Michael Spivey of the University of Puget Sound developed a Corollary that determines which values of n and m will always have integral generalized binomial coefficients for all multiplicative functions. The purpose of this research was to determine as many patterns within this corollary as possible as well as …

Mod Planes: A New Dimension To Modulo Theory, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, K. Ilanthenral
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book for the first time authors study mod planes using modulo intervals [0, m); 2 ≤ m ≤ ∞. These planes unlike the real plane have only one quadrant so the study is carried out in a compact space but infinite in dimension. We have given seven mod planes viz real mod planes (mod real plane) finite complex mod plane, neutrosophic mod plane, fuzzy mod plane, (or mod fuzzy plane), mod dual number plane, mod special dual like number plane and mod special quasi dual number plane. These mod planes unlike real plane or complex plane or neutrosophic …
Basis Criteria For N-Cycle Integer Splines, Ester Gjoni
Basis Criteria For N-Cycle Integer Splines, Ester Gjoni
Senior Projects Spring 2015
In this project we work with integer splines on graphs with positive integer edge labels. We focus on graphs that are n-cycles for some natural number n. We find an explicit condition for when a set of splines can form a module basis for n-cycle splines. In general, a set of splines forms a Z-module basis if and only if their determinant is equal to the product of the edge labels divided by the greatest common divisor of those edge labels.
A Cryptographic Attack: Finding The Discrete Logarithm On Elliptic Curves Of Trace One, Tatiana Bradley
A Cryptographic Attack: Finding The Discrete Logarithm On Elliptic Curves Of Trace One, Tatiana Bradley
Scripps Senior Theses
The crux of elliptic curve cryptography, a popular mechanism for securing data, is an asymmetric problem. The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, as it is called, is hoped to be generally hard in one direction but not the other, and it is this asymmetry that makes it secure.
This paper describes the mathematics (and some of the computer science) necessary to understand and compute an attack on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem that works in a special case. The algorithm, proposed by Nigel Smart, renders the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem easy in both directions for elliptic curves of …
Rational Tilings Of The Unit Square, Galen Dorpalen-Barry
Rational Tilings Of The Unit Square, Galen Dorpalen-Barry
Senior Projects Spring 2015
A rational n-tiling of the unit square is a collection of n triangles with rational side length whose union is the unit square and whose intersections are at most their boundary edges. It is known that there are no rational 2-tilings or 3-tilings of the unit square, and that there are rational 4- and 5-tilings. The nature of those tilings is the subject of current research. In this project we give a combinatorial basis for rational n-tilings and explore rational 6-tilings of the unit square.
Irreducibility And Galois Properties Of Lifts Of Supersingular Polynomials, Rylan Jacob Gajek-Leonard
Irreducibility And Galois Properties Of Lifts Of Supersingular Polynomials, Rylan Jacob Gajek-Leonard
Senior Projects Spring 2015
It has recently been shown that a rational specialization of Jacobi polynomials, when reduced modulo a prime number p, has roots which coincide with the supersingular j- invariants of elliptic curves in characteristic p. These supersingular lifts are conjectured to be irreducible with maximal Galois groups. Using the theory of p-adic Newton Polygons, we provide a new infinite class of irreducibility and, assuming a conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood, give strong evidence for their Galois groups being as large as possible.
Elliptic Curves And The Congruent Number Problem, Jonathan Star
Elliptic Curves And The Congruent Number Problem, Jonathan Star
CMC Senior Theses
In this paper we explain the congruent number problem and its connection to elliptic curves. We begin with a brief history of the problem and some early attempts to understand congruent numbers. We then introduce elliptic curves and many of their basic properties, as well as explain a few key theorems in the study of elliptic curves. Following this, we prove that determining whether or not a number n is congruent is equivalent to determining whether or not the algebraic rank of a corresponding elliptic curve En is 0. We then introduce L-functions and explain the Birch and …

Infinite Quaternion Pseudo Rings Using [0, N), Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book authors study the properties of finite real quaternion ring which was introduced in [2000]. Here a complete study of these finite quaternion rings are made. Also polynomial quaternion rings are defined, they happen to behave in a very different way. In the first place the fundamental theorem of algebra, “a nth degree polynomial has n and only n roots”, n is untrue in case of polynomial in polynomial quaternion rings in general. Further the very concept of derivative and integrals of these polynomials are untrue. Finally interval pseudo quaternion rings also behave in an erratic way. Not …

Mod Functions: A New Approach To Function Theory, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, K. Ilanthenral
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book the notion of MOD functions are defined on MOD planes. This new concept of MOD functions behaves in a very different way. Even very simple functions like y = nx has several zeros in MOD planes where as they are nice single line graphs with only (0, 0) as the only zero. Further polynomials in MOD planes do not in general follows the usual or classical laws of differentiation or integration. Even finding roots of MOD polynomials happens to be very difficult as they do not follow the fundamental theorem of algebra, viz a nth degree polynomial …

Mod Pseudo Linear Algebras, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, K. Ilanthenral
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book authors for the first time elaborately study the notion of MOD vector spaces and MOD pseudo linear algebras. This study is new, innovative and leaves several open conjectures. In the first place as distributive law is not true we can define only MOD pseudo linear algebras. Secondly most of the classical theorems true in case of linear algebras are not true in case of MOD pseudo linear algebras. Finding even eigen values and eigen vectors happens to be a challenging problem. Further the notion of multidimensional MOD pseudo linear algebras are defined using the notion of MOD …

Techno-Art Of Selariu Supermathematics Functions, 2nd Volume, Florentin Smarandache
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
An ALBUM, according to the dictionary, is defined as "notebook for storing photos, postcards, stamps, lyrics, quotes etc.", which, in other words, means gatherings of "pieces" of the same "species". Or, in the new Techno-Art of Selariu SuperMathematics Functions ALBUM (the second book of Selariu SuperMathematics Functions), one contemplates a unique COMPOSITION, INTER-, INTRA- and TRANS-DISCIPLINARY. (Capitalizing here is not a futility, but a harmony with the TRUTH.) One caveat I am indebted to do, as a consequent "reader" – over time, I received the ALBUM, chapter by chapter, pace by pace, which gave me the time to analyze / …

A New Type Of Group Action Through The Applications Of Fuzzy Sets And Neutrosophic Sets, Florentin Smarandache, Mumtaz Ali
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
Fuzzy sets are the most significant tools to handle uncertain data while neutrosophic sets are the generalizations of fuzzy sets in the sense to handle uncertain, incomplete, inconsistent, indeterminate, false data. In this paper, we introduced fuzzy subspaces and neutrosophic subspaces (generalization of fuzzy subspaces) by applying group actions.Further, we define fuzzy transitivity and neutrosophic transitivty in this paper. Fuzzy orbits and neutrosophic orbits are introduced as well. We also studied some basic properties of fuzzy subspaces as well as neutrosophic subspaces.

Neutrosophic Axiomatic System, Florentin Smarandache
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this paper, we introduce for the first time the notions of Neutrosophic Axiom, Neutrosophic Axiomatic System, Neutrosophic Deducibility and Neutrosophic Inference, Neutrosophic Proof, Neutrosophic Tautologies, Neutrosophic Quantifiers, Neutrosophic Propositional Logic, Neutrosophic Axiomatic Space, Degree of Contradiction (Dissimilarity) of Two Neutrosophic Axioms, and Neutrosophic Model. A class of neutrosophic implications is also introduced. A comparison between these innovatory neutrosophic notions and their corresponding classical notions is made. Then, three concrete examples of neutrosophic axiomatic systems, describing the same neutrosophic geometrical model, are presented at the end of the paper.

In this book authors answer the question proposed by Florentin Smarandache “Does there exist neutrosophic numbers which are such that they take values differently and behave differently from I; the indeterminate?”. We have constructed a class of natural neutrosophic numbers m 0I , m xI , m yI , m zI where m 0I × m 0I = m 0I , m xI × m xI = m xI and m yI × m yI = m yI and m yI × m xI = m 0I and m zI × m zI = m 0I .

On The Characterization Of Prime Sets Of Polynomials By Congruence Conditions, Arvind Suresh
CMC Senior Theses
This project is concerned with the set of primes modulo which some monic, irreducible polynomial over the integers has a root, called the Prime Set of the polynomial. We completely characterise these sets for degree 2 polynomials, and develop sufficient machinery from algebraic number theory to show that if the Galois group of a monic, irreducible polynomial over the integers is abelian, then its Prime Set can be written as the union of primes in some congruence classes modulo some integer.
