Descending Central Series Of Free Pro-P-Groups, German A. Combariza
Descending Central Series Of Free Pro-P-Groups, German A. Combariza
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In this thesis, we study the first three cohomology groups of the quotients of the descending central series of a free pro-p-group. We analyse the Lyndon-Hochschild- Serre spectral sequence up to degree three and develop what we believe is a new technique to compute the third cohomology group. Using Fox-Calculus we express the cocycles of a finite p-group G with coefficients on a certain module M as the kernel of a matrix composed by the derivatives of the relations of a minimal presentation for G. We also show a relation between free groups and finite fields, this is a new …
Information-Preserving Structures: A General Framework For Quantum Zero-Error Information, Robin Blume-Kohout, Hui Khoon Ng, David Poulin, Lorenza Viola
Information-Preserving Structures: A General Framework For Quantum Zero-Error Information, Robin Blume-Kohout, Hui Khoon Ng, David Poulin, Lorenza Viola
Dartmouth Scholarship
Quantum systems carry information. Quantum theory supports at least two distinct kinds of information (classical and quantum), and a variety of different ways to encode and preserve information in physical systems. A system’s ability to carry information is constrained and defined by the noise in its dynamics. This paper introduces an operational framework, using information-preserving structures, to classify all the kinds of information that can be perfectly (i.e., with zero error) preserved by quantum dynamics. We prove that every perfectly preserved code has the same structure as a matrix algebra, and that preserved information can always be corrected. We …
The Cohomology Of Modules Over A Complete Intersection Ring, Jesse Burke
The Cohomology Of Modules Over A Complete Intersection Ring, Jesse Burke
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
We investigate the cohomology of modules over commutative complete intersection rings. The first main result is that if M is an arbitrary module over a complete intersection ring R, and if one even self-extension module of M vanishes then M has finite projective dimension. The second main result gives a new proof of the fact that the support variety of a Cohen-Macaulay module whose completion is indecomposable is projectively connected.
Optimal Correction Of Infeasible System In Linear Equality Via Genetic Algorithm, S. Ketabchi, H. Moosaei, S. Fallahi
Optimal Correction Of Infeasible System In Linear Equality Via Genetic Algorithm, S. Ketabchi, H. Moosaei, S. Fallahi
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This work is focused on the optimal correction of infeasible system of linear equality. In this paper, for correcting this system, we will make the changes just in the coefficient matrix by using l norm and show that solving this problem is equivalent to solving a fractional quadratic problem. To solve this problem, we use the genetic algorithm. Some examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency and validity of the proposed method.
Elasticity Of Krull Domains With Infinite Divisor Class Group, Benjamin Ryan Lynch
Elasticity Of Krull Domains With Infinite Divisor Class Group, Benjamin Ryan Lynch
Doctoral Dissertations
The elasticity of a Krull domain R is equivalent to the elasticity of the block monoid B(G,S), where G is the divisor class group of R and S is the set of elements of G containing a height-one prime ideal of R. Therefore the elasticity of R can by studied using the divisor class group. In this dissertation, we will study infinite divisor class groups to determine the elasticity of the associated Krull domain. The results will focus on the divisor class groups Z, Z(p infinity), Q, and general infinite groups. For the groups Z and Z(p infinity), it has …
On Conjectures Concerning Nonassociate Factorizations, Jason A Laska
On Conjectures Concerning Nonassociate Factorizations, Jason A Laska
Doctoral Dissertations
We consider and solve some open conjectures on the asymptotic behavior of the number of different numbers of the nonassociate factorizations of prescribed minimal length for specific finite factorization domains. The asymptotic behavior will be classified for Cohen-Kaplansky domains in Chapter 1 and for domains of the form R=K+XF[X] for finite fields K and F in Chapter 2. A corollary of the main result in Chapter 3 will determine the asymptotic behavior for Krull domains with finite divisor class group.
Vanishing Of Ext And Tor Over Complete Intersections, Olgur Celikbas
Vanishing Of Ext And Tor Over Complete Intersections, Olgur Celikbas
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Let (R,m) be a local complete intersection, that is, a local ring whose m-adic completion is the quotient of a complete regular local ring by a regular sequence. Let M and N be finitely generated R-modules. This dissertation concerns the vanishing of Tor(M, N) and Ext(M, N). In this context, M satisfies Serre's condition (S_{n}) if and only if M is an nth syzygy. The complexity of M is the least nonnegative integer r such that the nth Betti number of M is bounded by a polynomial of degree r-1 for all sufficiently large n. We use this notion of …

Assessing The Impact Of A Computer-Based College Algebra Course, Ningjun Ye
Dissertations
USM piloted the Math Zone in Spring 2007, a computer-based program in teaching MAT 101and MAT 099 in order to improve student performance. This research determined the effect of the re-design of MAT 101 on student achievements in comparison to a traditional approach to the same course. Meanwhile, the study investigated possible effects of the Math Zone program on students’ attitude toward studying mathematics.
This study shows that there was no statistically significant difference on MAT101 final exam scores between the Math Zone students and the Classroom students in Fall 2007, Spring 2008 and Fall 2008. At the same time, …
Analyzing Fractals, Kara Mesznik
Analyzing Fractals, Kara Mesznik
Honors Capstone Projects - All
For my capstone project, I analyzed fractals. A fractal is a picture that is composed of smaller images of the larger picture. Each smaller picture is self- similar, meaning that each of these smaller pictures is actually the larger image just contracted in size through the use of the Contraction Mapping Theorem and shifted using linear and affine transformations.
Fractals live in something called a metric space. A metric space, denoted (X, d), is a space along with a distance formula used to measure the distance between elements in the space. When producing fractals …
The Life Of Evariste Galois And His Theory Of Field Extension, Felicia N. Adams
The Life Of Evariste Galois And His Theory Of Field Extension, Felicia N. Adams
Senior Honors Theses
Evariste Galois made many important mathematical discoveries in his short lifetime, yet perhaps the most important are his studies in the realm of field extensions. Through his discoveries in field extensions, Galois determined the solvability of polynomials. Namely, given a polynomial P with coefficients is in the field F and such that the equation P(x) = 0 has no solution, one can extend F into a field L with α in L, such that P(α) = 0. Whereas Galois Theory has numerous practical applications, this thesis will conclude with the examination and proof of the fact that it is impossible …
Fractions Of Numerical Semigroups, Harold Justin Smith
Fractions Of Numerical Semigroups, Harold Justin Smith
Doctoral Dissertations
Let S and T be numerical semigroups and let k be a positive integer. We say that S is the quotient of T by k if an integer x belongs to S if and only if kx belongs to T. Given any integer k larger than 1 (resp., larger than 2), every numerical semigroup S is the quotient T/k of infinitely many symmetric (resp., pseudo-symmetric) numerical semigroups T by k. Related examples, probabilistic results, and applications to ring theory are shown.
Given an arbitrary positive integer k, it is not true in general that every numerical semigroup S is the …
On The Irreducibility Of The Cauchy-Mirimanoff Polynomials, Brian C. Irick
On The Irreducibility Of The Cauchy-Mirimanoff Polynomials, Brian C. Irick
Doctoral Dissertations
The Cauchy-Mirimanoff Polynomials are a class of polynomials that naturally arise in various classical studies of Fermat's Last Theorem. Originally conjectured to be irreducible over 100 years ago, the irreducibility of the Cauchy-Mirimanoff polynomials is still an open conjecture.
This dissertation takes a new approach to the study of the Cauchy-Mirimanoff Polynomials. The reciprocal transform of a self-reciprocal polynomial is defined, and the reciprocal transforms of the Cauchy-Mirimanoff Polynomials are found and studied. Particular attention is given to the Cauchy-Mirimanoff Polynomials with index three times a power of a prime, and it is shown that the Cauchy-Mirimanoff Polynomials of index …

This paper is a summary of results on the PG(s) function, which is the reciprocal of the probabilistic zeta function for finite groups. This function gives the probability that s randomly chosen elements generate a group G, and information about the structure of the group G is embedded in it.
Truncated Toeplitz Operators: Spatial Isomorphism, Unitary Equivalence, And Similarity, William T. Ross, Joseph A. Cima, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Warren R. Wogen
Truncated Toeplitz Operators: Spatial Isomorphism, Unitary Equivalence, And Similarity, William T. Ross, Joseph A. Cima, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Warren R. Wogen
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
A truncated Toeplitz operator Aᵩ : KƟ → KƟ is the compression of a Toeplitz operator Tᵩ : H2 → H2 to a model space KƟ := H2 ⊖ ƟH2. For Ɵ inner, let TƟ denote the set of all bounded truncated Toeplitz operators on KƟ. Our main result is a necessary and sufficient condition on inner functions Ɵ1 and Ɵ2 which guarantees that TƟ1 and TƟ2 are spatially isomorphic. (i.e., UTƟ1 = TƟ2 U for some unitary U : KƟ1 …

We examine when two maximal abelian algebras in the truncated Toeplitz operators are spatially isomorphic. This builds upon recent work of N. Sedlock, who obtained a complete description of the maximal algebras of truncated Toeplitz operators.

Support Varieties And Representation Type Of Small Quantum Groups, Jorg Feldvoss, Sarah Witherspoon
Support Varieties And Representation Type Of Small Quantum Groups, Jorg Feldvoss, Sarah Witherspoon
University Faculty and Staff Publications
In this paper, we provide a wildness criterion for any finite dimensional Hopf algebra with finitely generated cohomology. This generalizes a result of Farnsteiner to not necessarily cocommutative Hopf algebras over ground fields of arbitrary characteristic. Our proof uses the theory of support varieties for modules, one of the crucial ingredients being a tensor product property for some special modules. As an application, we prove a conjecture of Cibils stating that small quantum groups of rank at least two are wild.
Interval Linear Algebra, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Interval Linear Algebra, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
This Interval arithmetic or interval mathematics developed in 1950’s and 1960’s by mathematicians as an approach to putting bounds on rounding errors and measurement error in mathematical computations. However no proper interval algebraic structures have been defined or studies. In this book we for the first time introduce several types of interval linear algebras and study them. This structure has become indispensable for these concepts will find applications in numerical optimization and validation of structural designs. In this book we use only special types of intervals and introduce the notion of different types of interval linear algebras and interval vector …

New Classes Of Neutrosophic Linear Algebras, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, K. Ilanthenral
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book we introduce mainly three new classes of linear algebras; neutrosophic group linear algebras, neutrosophic semigroup linear algebras and neutrosophic set linear algebras. The authors also define the fuzzy analogue of these three structures. This book is organized into seven chapters. Chapter one is introductory in content. The notion of neutrosophic set linear algebras and neutrosophic neutrosophic set linear algebras are introduced and their properties analysed in chapter two. Chapter three introduces the notion of neutrosophic semigroup linear algebras and neutrosophic group linear algebras. A study of their substructures are systematically carried out in this chapter. The fuzzy …

Rank Distance Bicodes And Their Generalization, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, N. Suresh Babu, R.S. Selvaraj
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book the authors introduce the new notion of rank distance bicodes and generalize this concept to Rank Distance n-codes (RD n-codes), n, greater than or equal to three. This definition leads to several classes of new RD bicodes like semi circulant rank bicodes of type I and II, semicyclic circulant rank bicode, circulant rank bicodes, bidivisible bicode and so on. It is important to mention that these new classes of codes will not only multitask simultaneously but also they will be best suited to the present computerised era. Apart from this, these codes are best suited in cryptography. …

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
Many hard combinatorial problems can be modeled by a system of polynomial equations. N. Alon coined the term polynomial method to describe the use of nonlinear polynomials when solving combinatorial problems. We continue the exploration of the polynomial method and show how the algorithmic theory of polynomial ideals can be used to detect k-colorability, unique Hamiltonicity, and automorphism rigidity of graphs. Our techniques are diverse and involve Nullstellensatz certificates, linear algebra over finite fields, Gröbner bases, toric algebra, convex programming, and real algebraic geometry.
Bitopological Duality For Distributive Lattices And Heyting Algebras, Guram Bezhanishvili, Nick Bezhanishvili, David Gabelaia, Alexander Kurz
Bitopological Duality For Distributive Lattices And Heyting Algebras, Guram Bezhanishvili, Nick Bezhanishvili, David Gabelaia, Alexander Kurz
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
We introduce pairwise Stone spaces as a natural bitopological generalization of Stone spaces—the duals of Boolean algebras—and show that they are exactly the bitopological duals of bounded distributive lattices. The category PStone of pairwise Stone spaces is isomorphic to the category Spec of spectral spaces and to the category Pries of Priestley spaces. In fact, the isomorphism of Spec and Pries is most naturally seen through PStone by first establishing that Pries is isomorphic to PStone, and then showing that PStone is isomorphic to Spec. We provide the bitopological and spectral descriptions of many algebraic concepts important for the study …
Some New Classes Of Complex Symmetric Operators, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Warren R. Wogen
Some New Classes Of Complex Symmetric Operators, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Warren R. Wogen
Pomona Faculty Publications and Research
We say that an operator $T \in B(H)$ is complex symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution $C:H\to H$ so that $T = CT^*C$. We prove that binormal operators, operators that are algebraic of degree two (including all idempotents), and large classes of rank-one perturbations of normal operators are complex symmetric. From an abstract viewpoint, these results explain why the compressed shift and Volterra integration operator are complex symmetric. Finally, we attempt to describe all complex symmetric partial isometries, obtaining the sharpest possible statement given only the data $(\dim \ker T, \dim \ker T^*)$.

On Coalgebras Over Algebras, Adriana Balan, Alexander Kurz
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
We extend Barr’s well-known characterization of the final coalgebra of a Set-endofunctor as the completion of its initial algebra to the Eilenberg-Moore category of algebras for a Set-monad M for functors arising as liftings. As an application we introduce the notion of commuting pair of endofunctors with respect to the monad M and show that under reasonable assumptions, the final coalgebra of one of the endofunctors involved can be obtained as the free algebra generated by the initial algebra of the other endofunctor.
On Universal Algebra Over Nominal Sets, Alexander Kurz, Daniela Petrişan
On Universal Algebra Over Nominal Sets, Alexander Kurz, Daniela Petrişan
Engineering Faculty Articles and Research
We investigate universal algebra over the category Nom of nominal sets. Using the fact that Nom is a full re ective subcategory of a monadic category, we obtain an HSP-like theorem for algebras over nominal sets. We isolate a `uniform' fragment of our equational logic, which corresponds to the nominal logics present in the literature. We give semantically invariant translations of theories for nominal algebra and NEL into `uniform' theories and systematically prove HSP theorems for models of these theories.
