  • Brown, Jonathan, 1975- (University of Oregon, 2009-06)
    In this work we prove that the finite W -algebras associated to nilpotent elements in the symplectic or orthogonal Lie algebras whose Jordan blocks are all the same size are quotients of twisted Yangians. We use this to ...
  • Potter, Jake (University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)
    We define a useful diagram for studying fixed-point-free involution words. Following the example of Little, we define a specific and a general bumping algorithm on these diagrams. These algorithms serve as the basis for ...
  • Iverson, Joseph (University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)
    Let $G$ be a second countable, locally compact group which is either compact or abelian, and let $\rho$ be a unitary representation of $G$ on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_\rho$. We examine frames of the form $\{ ...
  • Thornton, Josiah (University of Oregon, 2012)
    We give an exposition of near-group categories and generalized near-group categories. We show that both have a pseudounitary structure. We complete the classification of braided near-group categories and discuss the inherent ...
  • Heuser, Aaron, 1978- (University of Oregon, 2010-06)
    This dissertation examines the existence of the self-intersection local time for a superprocess over a stochastic flow in dimensions d ≤ 3, which through constructive methods, gives a Tanaka like representation. The ...
  • Pelatt, Kristine (University of Oregon, 2012)
    We produce explicit geometric representatives of non-trivial homology classes in Emb(S1,Rd), the space of knots, when d is even. We generalize results of Cattaneo, Cotta-Ramusino and Longoni to define cycles which live ...
  • Hilburn, Justin (University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)
    In this thesis I show that indecomposable projective and tilting modules in hypertoric category O are obtained by applying a variant of the geometric Jacquet functor of Emerton, Nadler, and Vilonen to certain Gel'fand-Ka ...
  • Collins, John, 1981- (University of Oregon, 2009-06)
    We define and study a gluing procedure for Bridgeland stability conditions in the situation where a triangulated category has a semiorthogonal decomposition. As one application, we construct an open, contractible subset U ...
  • Kazaras, Demetre (University of Oregon, 2017-09-06)
    This thesis presents two main results on analytic and topological aspects of scalar curvature. The first is a gluing theorem for scalar-flat manifolds with vanishing mean curvature on the boundary. Our methods involve tools ...
  • Nash, David A., 1982- (University of Oregon, 2010-06)
    We study the graded representation theory of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra, denoted by Hd , of the symmetric group over a field of characteristic zero at a root of unity. More specifically, we use graded Specht modules to ...
  • Moseley, Daniel (University of Oregon, 2012)
    In this dissertation, we will look at two families of algebras with connections to hyperplane arrangements that admit actions of finite groups. One of the fundamental questions to ask is how these decompose into irreducible ...
  • Wilson, James B., 1980- (University of Oregon, 2008-06)
    Finite p -groups are studied using bilinear methods which lead to using nonassociative rings. There are three main results, two which apply only to p -groups and the third which applies to all groups. First, for finite ...
  • Hsu, Catherine (University of Oregon, 2018-09-06)
    In his seminal work on modular curves and the Eisenstein ideal, Mazur studied the existence of congruences between certain Eisenstein series and newforms, proving that Eisenstein ideals associated to weight 2 cusp forms ...
  • Casebolt, Ross (University of Oregon, 2022-10-26)
    Let $C_l$ denote the cyclic group of prime order $l$ and let $k$ be a field. We define a Mackey $\underline{k}$-algebra $\underline{k}[x_\theta]$ which is constructed by adjoining a free commutative variable to the free ...
  • Steinberg, David (University of Oregon, 2017-05-01)
    Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras, or KLR algebras, are a family of algebras known to categorify the upper half of the quantized enveloping algebra of a given Lie algebra. In finite type, these algebras come with a family ...
  • Jasper, John, 1981- (University of Oregon, 2011-06)
    We characterize the diagonals of four classes of self-adjoint operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. These results are motivated by the classical Schur-Horn theorem, which characterizes the diagonals of self-adjoint ...
  • Gedeon, Katie (University of Oregon, 2018-10-31)
    The Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid M, denoted P_M( t ), was recently defined by Elias, Proudfoot, and Wakefield. These polynomials are analogous to the classical Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials associated with Coxeter ...
  • Phan, Christopher Lee, 1980- (University of Oregon, 2009-06)
    We investigate some homological properties of graded algebras. If A is an R -algebra, then E (A) := Ext A ( R, R ) is an R-algebra under the cup product and is called the Yoneda algebra. (In most cases, we assume R ...
  • Bellah, Elisa (University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)
    Diophantine analysis is an area of number theory concerned with finding integral solutions to polynomial equations defined over the rationals, or more generally over a number field. In some cases, it is possible to associate ...
  • Brooke, Corey (University of Oregon, 2024-01-09)
    This thesis describes the Fano scheme $F(Y)$ of lines on a general cubic threefold $Y$ containing a plane over a field $k$ of characteristic different from $2$. One irreducible component of $F(Y)$ is birational (over $k$) ...
