  • Vargas, Max (University of Oregon, 2023-07-06)
    We explain a new approach to the representation theory of the partition category based on a reformulation of the definition of the Jucys-Murphy elements introduced originally by Halverson and Ram and developed further by ...
  • Reynolds, Andrew (University of Oregon, 2015-08-18)
    We study the representations of a certain specialization $\mathcal{OB}(\delta)$ of the oriented Brauer category in arbitrary characteristic $p$. We exhibit a triangular decomposition of $\mathcal{OB}(\delta)$, which we use ...
  • Guth, Gary (University of Oregon, 2024-01-09)
    We study properties of surfaces embedded in 4-manifolds by way of HeegaardFloer homology. We begin by showing link Floer homology obstructs concordance through ribbon homology cobordisms; this extends the work of Zemke ...
  • Hogle, Eric (University of Oregon, 2018-09-06)
    We compute the RO(C2)-graded Bredon cohomology of certain families of real and complex C2-equivariant Grassmannians.
  • Pohland, Kelly (University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)
    Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $C_p$ denote the cyclic group of order $p$. We use equivariant surgery methods to classify all closed, connected $2$-manifolds with an action of $C_p$. We then use this classification in ...
  • Kronholm, William C., 1980- (University of Oregon, 2008-06)
    The theory of equivariant homology and cohomology was first created by Bredon in his 1967 paper and has since been developed and generalized by May, Lewis, Costenoble, and a host of others. However, there has been a notable ...
  • Granath, Elliot (University of Oregon, 2024-01-10)
    In 1992, Stolz proved that, among simply connected Spin-manifolds of dimension5 or greater, the vanishing of a particular invariant α is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a metric of positive scalar curvature. ...
  • Foster, John (University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)
    We exhibit a correspondence between subcategories of modules over an algebra and sub-bimodules of the dual of that algebra. We then prove that the semisimplicity of certain such categories is equivalent to the existence ...
  • Shum, Christopher (University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)
    For beta > 0, the beta-ensemble corresponds to the joint probability density on the real line proportional to prod_{n > m}^N abs{x_n - x_m}^beta prod_{n = 1}^N w(x_n) where w is the weight of the system. It has the ...
  • Buursma, Doeke (University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)
    We give an explicit description of the category of Yoneda extensions of standard modules over KLR algebras for two special cases in Lie type A. In these two special cases, the A-infinity category structure of the Yoneda ...
  • Layne, Adam (University of Oregon, 2018-09-06)
    We prove a nonpolarized analogue of the asymptotic characterization of T<sup>2</sup>-symmetric Einstein flow solutions completed recently by LeFloch and Smulevici. We impose a far weaker condition, but obtain identical ...
  • Leeman, Aaron, 1974- (University of Oregon, 2009-06)
    We study the Bousfield localization functors known as [Special characters omitted], as described in [MahS]. In particular we would like to understand how they interact with suspension and how they stabilize. We prove ...
  • Davis, Champ (University of Oregon, 2024-01-09)
    Let $L$ be a link in a thickened annulus. In [GLW17], Grigsby-Licata-Wehrli showed that the annular Khovanov homology of $L$ is equipped with an action of $\exsltwo$, the exterior current algebra of the Lie algebra $\sltwo$. ...
  • Wade, Jeremy, 1981- (University of Oregon, 2009-06)
    We investigate Cesàro summability of the Fourier orthogonal expansion of functions on B d × I m , where B d is the closed unit ball in [Special characters omitted] and I m is the m -fold Cartesian product of the ...
  • Jordan, Alex, 1979- (University of Oregon, 2008-06)
    We generalize a theorem of Zhu relating the trace of certain vertex algebra representations and modular invariants to the arena of vertex super algebras. The theorem explains why the space of simple characters for the ...
  • Lester, Cynthia (University of Oregon, 2019-09-18)
    We explore the canonical Grothendieck topology and a new homotopical analog. First we discuss a specific description of the covers in the canonical topology, which we then use to get a corollary of Giraud's Theorem. Second ...
  • Webb, Gautam (University of Oregon, 2021-11-23)
    We resolve an open conjecture from algebraic geometry, which states that two generating functions for plane partition-like objects (the "box-counting" formulae for the Calabi-Yau topological vertices in Donaldson-Thomas ...
  • Webster, Joe (University of Oregon, 2021-09-13)
    This thesis is based on the article [16], which studies the integral? ? ?a? ?b? s ρ(x1,...,xN) max|xi −xj| min|xi −xj| |xi −xj| ij dx1 ...dxN KN i<j i<j i<j where K is an arbitrary p-field, ρ is a well-behaved function ...
  • Hunter, Dana (University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)
    We study stable homotopy through unstable methods applied to its representing infinite loop space, as pioneered by Curtis and Wellington. Using cohomology instead of homology, we find a width filtration whose subquotients ...
  • Hunter, Nathan (University of Oregon, 2022-10-26)
    We explore generalized Mahler measures associated to regions in the complex plane. These generalized Mahler measures describe the complexity of polynomials in C[x] by comparing the geometry of their roots to subsets of C. ...
