Verifying Harder's Conjecture For Classical And Siegel Modular Forms, Davia Sulon

Honors Theses

A conjecture by Harder shows a surprising congruence between the coefficients of “classical” modular forms and the Hecke eigenvalues of corresponding Siegel modular forms, contigent upon “large primes” dividing the critical values of the given classical modular form.

Harder’s Conjecture has already been verified for one-dimensional spaces of classical and Siegel modular forms (along with some two-dimensional cases), and for primes p 37. We verify the conjecture for higher-dimensional spaces, and up to a comparable prime p.

Boundary Values In Range Spaces Of Co-Analytic Truncated Toeplitz Operator, William T. Ross, Andreas Hartmann

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Functions in backward shift invariant subspaces have nice analytic continuation properties outside the spectrum of the inner function defining the space. Inside the spectrum of the inner function, Ahern and Clark showed that under some distribution condition on the zeros and the singular measure of the inner function, it is possible to obtain non-tangential boundary values of every function in the backward shift invariant subspace as well as for their derivatives up to a certain order. Here we will investigate, at least when the inner function is a Blaschke product, the non-tangential boundary values of the functions of the backward …

Unitary Equivalence To A Truncated Toeplitz Operator: Analytic Symbols, William T. Ross, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Daniel E. Poore

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Unlike Toeplitz operators on H², truncated Toeplitz operators do not have a natural matricial characterization. Consequently, these operators are difficult to study numerically. In this note we provide criteria for a matrix with distinct eigenvalues to be unitarily equivalent to a truncated Toeplitz operator having an analytic symbol. This test is constructive and we illustrate it with several examples. As a byproduct, we also prove that every complex symmetric operator on a Hilbert space of dimension < 3 is unitarily equivalent to a direct sum of truncated Toeplitz operators.

Generalizing Amdahl’S Law For Power And Energy, Rong Ge, Kirk W. Cameron

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

Extending Amdahl's law to identify optimal power-performance configurations requires considering the interactive effects of power, performance, and parallel overhead.

Categoricity And Topological Graphs, Paul Bankston

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

Let X be a topological graph, with arcs joined only at end points. If Y is any locally connected metrizable compactum that is co-elementarily equivalent to X, then Y is homeomorphic to X. In particular, X and Y are homeomorphic if some lattice base for one is elementarily equivalent to some lattice base for the other.

A Zeta Function For Juggling Sequences, Carsten Elsner, Dominic Klyve, Erik R. Tou

Mathematics Faculty Scholarship

We give a new generalization of the Riemann zeta function to the set of b-ball juggling sequences. We develop several properties of this zeta function, noting among other things that it is rational in b^−s. We provide a meromorphic continuation of the juggling zeta function to the entire complex plane (except for a countable set of singularities) and completely enumerate its zeroes. For most values of b, we are able to show that the zeroes of the b-ball zeta function are located within a critical strip, which is closely analogous to that of the Riemann zeta function.

Abel Dynamic Equations Of The First And Second Kind, Sabrina Heike Streipert

Masters Theses

"In this work, we study Abel dynamic equations of the first and the second kind. After a brief introduction to time scales, we introduce the Abel differential equations of the first and the second kind, as well as the canonical Abel form in the continuous case. Using the existing information, we derive novel results for time scales. We provide formulas for the Abel dynamic equations of the second kind and present a solution method. We furthermore achieve a special class of Abel equations of the first kind and discuss the canonical Abel equation. We get relations between common dynamic equations …

Computer Science: Faculty Publications

We show that the Yao graph Y₄ in the L₂ metric is a spanner with stretch factor 8(29+23√ 2). Enroute to this, we also show that the Yao graph Y^∞₄ in the L_∞ metric is a planar spanner with stretch factor 8.

The Character Variety Of A Class Of Rational Links, Khaled Qazaqzeh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let G_n be the fundamental group of the exterior of the rational link C(2n) in Conway's normal form, see [7]. A presentation for G_n is given by \langle a, b (ab)^n = (ba)^n\rangle [3, Thm. 2.2]. We study the character variety in SL(2, C) of the group G_n. In particular, we give the defining polynomial of the character variety of G_n. As an application, we show a well-known result that G_n and G_m are isomorphic only when n = m. Also as a consequence of the main theorem of this paper, we give a basis of the Kauffman bracket skein …

Weakly Normal Rings, Junchao Wei̇, Libin Li

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A ring R is defined to be weakly normal if for all a, r \in R and e \in E(R), ae = 0 implies Rera is a nil left ideal of R, where E(R) stands for the set of all idempotent elements of R. It is proved that R is weakly normal if and only if Rer(1-e) is a nil left ideal of R for each e \in E(R) and r \in R if and only if T_n(R, R) is weakly normal for any positive integer n. And it follows that for a weakly normal ring R (1) R is …

On Cosets In Coxeter Groups, Sarah B. Hart, Peter J. Rowley

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper the notion of Coxeter length for a subset of a Coxeter group, as introduced in [9], is investigated for various subsets of a Coxeter group. Mostly cosets of various subgroups are examined as well as the associated idea of X-posets, which is a vast generalization of the Bruhat order.

On The Automorphisms Of Direct Product Of Monogenic Semigroups And Monoids, Karim Ahmadidelir, Hossein Doostie

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper investigates the automorphism group of monogenic [4] semigroups (or monoids) to find its relationship with the automorphism group of cyclic groups. Then, by considering a presentation related to the direct product of monogenic semigroups, verify the relationship between the automorphism group of These and the automorphism group of the group presented by the same presentation. This study gives us some [4]explicit formulas for computing the order of automorphism groups of these algebraic structures.

On \Alpha-Skew Mccoy Modules, Jian Cui, Jianlong Chen

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let \alpha be a ring endomorphism. Extending the notions of McCoy modules and \alpha-skew McCoy rings, we introduce the notion of \alpha-skew McCoy modules, which can also be regarded as a generalization of \alpha-skew Armendariz modules. A number of illustrative examples are given. Various properties of these modules are developed, and equivalent conditions for \alpha-skew McCoy modules are established. Furthermore, we study the relationship between a module and its polynomial module.

On Injective And Subdirectly Irreducible S-Acts Over Left Zero Semigroups, Gholamreza Moghaddasi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The aim of this paper is to characterize subdirectly irreducible S-acts over left zero semigroups. Also we compute the number of such acts and specify cogenerators acts over left zero semigroups. To do these we first take another look at the description of injective hulls of the separated S-acts over left zero semigroups.

Generalization Of Some Properties Of Banach Algebras To Fundamental Locally Multiplicative Topological Algebras, Ali Zohri, Ali Jabbari

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article we generalized some properties of Banach algebras, to a new class of topological algebras namely fundamental and fundamental locally multiplicative topological algebras (abbreviated by FLM). Also the new notion of sub-multiplicatively metrizable topological algebra is given and some well known spectral properties of Banach algebras are generalized to such kind of algebras.

Hypercyclic Tuples Of The Adjoint Of The Weighted Composition Operators, Rahmat Soltani, Bahram Khani Robati, Karim Hedayatian

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

An n-tuple of commuting operators, (T_1,T_2,...,T_n) on a Hilbert space \cal H is said to be hypercyclic, if there exists a vector x \in \cal H such that the set {T_1^{k_1} T_2^{k_2}... T_n^{k_n}x : k_i \geq 0, i=1,2,...n} is dense in \cal H. In this paper, we give sufficient conditions under which the adjoint of an n-tuple of a weighted composition operator on a Hilbert space of analytic functions is hypercyclic.
