  • Conner, Andrew Brondos, 1981- (University of Oregon, 2011-06)
    Motivated by the Adams spectral sequence for computing stable homotopy groups, Priddy defined a class of algebras called Koszul algebras with nice homological properties. Many important algebras arising naturally in ...
  • Comes, Jonathan, 1981- (University of Oregon, 2010-06)
    We give an exposition of Deligne's tensor category Rep(St) where t is not necessarily an integer. Thereafter, we give a complete description of the blocks in Rep(St) for arbitrary t. Finally, we use our result on blocks ...
  • Archey, Dawn Elizabeth, 1979- (University of Oregon, 2008-06)
    This dissertation consists of two related parts. In the first portion we use the tracial Rokhlin property for actions of a finite group G on stably finite simple unital C *-algebras containing enough projections. The ...
  • Buck, Julian Michael, 1982- (University of Oregon, 2010-06)
    This dissertation consists of four principal parts. In the first, we introduce the tracial quasi-Rokhlin property for an automorphism α of a C *-algebra A (which is not assumed to be simple or to contain any projections). ...
  • Sun, Wei, 1979- (University of Oregon, 2010-06)
    This dissertation is a study of the relationship between minimal dynamical systems on the product of the Cantor set ( X ) and torus ([Special characters omitted]) and their corresponding crossed product C *-algebras. For ...
  • Liang, Hutian (University of Oregon, 2010-06)
    In this dissertation, we will study the crossed product C*-algebras obtained from free and minimal [Special characters omitted.] actions on compact metric spaces with finite covering dimension. We first define stable ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • Walsh, Mark, 1976- (University of Oregon, 2009-06)
    We study the topology of the space of metrics of positive scalar curvature on a compact manifold. The main tool we use for constructing such metrics is the surgery technique of Gromov and Lawson. We extend this technique ...
  • Vanderpool, Ruth, 1980- (University of Oregon, 2009-06)
    We investigate the existence of a stable homotopy category (SHC) associated to the category of p -complete abelian groups [Special characters omitted]. First we examine [Special characters omitted] and prove [Special ...
  • Giusti, Chad David, 1978- (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 ...
  • Black, Samson, 1979- (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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
