  • 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. ...
  • Dilts, James (University of Oregon, 2015-08-18)
    In this dissertation, we prove a number of results regarding the conformal method of finding solutions to the Einstein constraint equations. These results include necessary and sufficient conditions for the Lichnerowicz ...
  • Welly, Adam (University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)
    Let (M,g) be a quasi-Sasaki manifold with Reeb vector field xi. Our goal is to understand the structure of M when g is an Einstein metric. Assuming that the S^1 action induced by xi is locally free or assuming a certain ...
  • Vicinsky, Deborah (University of Oregon, 2015-08-18)
    We construct categories of spectra for two model categories. The first is the category of small categories with the canonical model structure, and the second is the category of directed graphs with the Bisson-Tsemo model ...
  • Hazel, Christy (University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)
    Let C2 denote the cyclic group of order two. Given a manifold with a C2-action, we can consider its equivariant Bredon RO(C2)-graded cohomology. We first use a classification due to Dugger to compute the Bredon cohomology ...
  • Montgomery, Aaron (University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)
    We study a family of random walks defined on certain Euclidean lattices that are related to incidence matrices of balanced incomplete block designs. We estimate the return probability of these random walks and use it to ...
  • Sun, Michael (University of Oregon, 2014-09-29)
    In this dissertation we explore the question of existence of a property of group actions on C*-algebras known as the tracial Rokhlin property. We prove existence of the property in a very general setting as well as specialise ...
