Analytic Wavefront Sets Of Spherical Distributions On The De Sitter Space, Iswarya Sitiraju
Analytic Wavefront Sets Of Spherical Distributions On The De Sitter Space, Iswarya Sitiraju
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In this work, we determine the wavefront set of certain eigendistributions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the de Sitter space. Let G′ = O1,n(R) be the Lorentz group, and let H′ = O1,n−1(R) ⊂ G′ be its subset. The de Sitter space dSn is a one-sheeted hyperboloid in R1,n isomorphic to G′/H′. A spherical distribution is an H′-invariant eigendistribution of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on dSn. The space of spherical distributions with eigenvalue λ, denoted by DλH'(dSn), has dimension 2. We construct a basis for the space of …
Elliptic Functions And Iterative Algorithms For Π, Eduardo Jose Evans
Elliptic Functions And Iterative Algorithms For Π, Eduardo Jose Evans
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Preliminary identities in the theory of basic hypergeometric series, or `q-series', are proven. These include q-analogues of the exponential function, which lead to a fairly simple proof of Jacobi's celebrated triple product identity due to Andrews. The Dedekind eta function is introduced and a few identities of it derived. Euler's pentagonal number theorem is shown as a special case of Ramanujan's theta function and Watson's quintuple product identity is proved in a manner given by Carlitz and Subbarao. The Jacobian theta functions are introduced as special kinds of basic hypergeometric series and various relations between them derived using the triple …
Zeta Function Regularization And Its Relationship To Number Theory, Stephen Wang
Zeta Function Regularization And Its Relationship To Number Theory, Stephen Wang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While the "path integral" formulation of quantum mechanics is both highly intuitive and far reaching, the path integrals themselves often fail to converge in the usual sense. Richard Feynman developed regularization as a solution, such that regularized path integrals could be calculated and analyzed within a strictly physics context. Over the past 50 years, mathematicians and physicists have retroactively introduced schemes for achieving mathematical rigor in the study and application of regularized path integrals. One such scheme was introduced in 2007 by the mathematicians Klaus Kirsten and Paul Loya. In this thesis, we reproduce the Kirsten and Loya approach to …
A Connection Between Quadratic Rational Maps And Linear Fractional Maps, Laura Schlesinger, Anna Marek, Ella White, Danqi Yin
A Connection Between Quadratic Rational Maps And Linear Fractional Maps, Laura Schlesinger, Anna Marek, Ella White, Danqi Yin
Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal
This research project is an investigation into quadratic rational maps, $\vp$, of one complex variable that map the unit disk to itself. Previous research \cite{brittney} shows that for each $\vp$, a corresponding linear fractional map $\zeta$ can be found using the coefficients of $\vp$, and this $\zeta$ can be used to characterize functions in the kernel of the adjoint of the composition operator with symbol $\vp$, defined on a space of analytic functions. In this paper, we show sufficient conditions to ensure that certain cases of $\vp$ map the unit disk to itself and find all the forms of $\zeta$. …
Observations On Convexity, Chad A. Huckaby
Observations On Convexity, Chad A. Huckaby
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis will explore convexity as it pertains to sets of complex-valued functions. These include preliminary looks at established linear and polynomially convex hulls, along with the development of new types of convex hulls. These types will include, but are not limited to the hulls determined by inversions, shift inversions, and Mobius transformations. A convex hull must be preceded by the set of functions involved. These hulls are the smallest convex sets that contain the original set. Justifications and precise definitions are included within the body of the work.
The Number Of Zeros Of A Polynomial In A Disk As A Consequence Of Coefficient Inequalities With Multiple Reversals, Derek T. Bryant
The Number Of Zeros Of A Polynomial In A Disk As A Consequence Of Coefficient Inequalities With Multiple Reversals, Derek T. Bryant
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, we explore the effect of restricting the coefficients of polynomials on the bounds for the number of zeros in a given region. The results presented herein build on a body of work, culminating in the generalization of bounds among three classes of polynomials. The hypotheses of monotonicity on each class of polynomials were further subdivided into sections concerning r reversals among the moduli, real parts, and both real and imaginary parts of the coefficients.
