(University of Oregon, 2018-04-10)The Periodicity theorem of Hopkins and Smith tells us that any finite spectrum supports a $v_n$-map for some $n$. We are interested in finding finite $2$-local spectra that both support a $v_2$-map with a low power of ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-06)We introduce a new finite-complexity knot theory, the theory of plumbers' knots, as a model for classical knot theory. The spaces of plumbers' curves admit a combinatorial cell structure, which we exploit to algorithmically ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2024-01-09)In this study, we focus on two topics in classical number theory. First, we examine Thue equations—equations of the form F(x, y) = h where F(x, y) is an irreducible, integral binary form and h is an integer—and we give ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2001)We examine a family of twists of the complex polynomial ring on n generators by a non-semisimple automorphism. In particular, we consider the case where the automorphism is represented by a single Jordan block. The ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-09)We compare the relaxation times of two random walks - the simple random walk and the metropolis walk - on an arbitrary finite multigraph G. We apply this result to the random graph with n vertices, where each edge is ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2012)We de ne the quantum cluster character assigning an element of a quantum torus to each representation of a valued quiver (Q; d) and investigate its relationship to external and internal mutations of a quantum cluster ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2019-09-18)In this thesis, we prove regularity theory for nonlinear fourth order and second order elliptic equations. First, we show that for a certain class of fourth order equations in the double divergence form, where the nonlinearity ...

(University of Oregon, 2017-09-06)For each finite dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and positive integer $k$ there exists a modular tensor category $\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{g},k)$ consisting of highest weight integrable $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$-modules of ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-06)We study a certain quotient of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group Sd , called the super Temperley-Lieb algebra STLd. The Alexander polynomial of a braid can be computed via a certain specialization of the ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)We study representations of Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier (KLR) algebras of affine Lie type. Associated to every convex preorder on the set of positive roots is a system of cuspidal modules for the KLR algebra. For a balanced ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2018-09-06)We compute the RO(C2)-graded Bredon cohomology of certain families of real and complex C2-equivariant Grassmannians.
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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. ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
