  • Adiabatic and stable adiabatic times

    Creator:
    Bradford, Kyle B.
    Abstract:
    While the stability of time-homogeneous Markov chains have been extensively studied through the concept of mixing times, the stability of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains has not been studied as in depth. In this manuscript we will introduce special types of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains that are defined through an adiabatic transition. After...

  • New Families of pseudo-Anosov Homeomorphisms with Vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi Invariant

    Creator:
    Do, Hieu Trung
    Abstract:
    Translation surfaces can be viewed as polygons with parallel and equal sides identified. An affine homeomorphism φ from a translation surface to itself is called pseudo-Anosov when its derivative is a constant matrix in SL₂(R) whose trace is larger than 2 in absolute value. In this setting, the eigendirections of...

  • Representations of fractional Brownian motion

    Creator:
    Wichitsongkram, Noppadon
    Abstract:
    Integral representations provide a useful framework of study and simulation of fractional Browian motion, which has been used in modeling of many natural situations. In this thesis we extend an integral representation of fractional Brownian motion that is supported on a bounded interval of ℝ to integral representation that is...

  • Classifying seven dimensional manifolds of fixed cohomology type

    Creator:
    Montagantirud, Pongdate
    Abstract:
    Finding new examples of compact simply connected spaces admitting a Riemannian metric of positive sectional curvature is a fundamental problem in differential geometry. Likewise, studying topological properties of families of manifolds is very interesting to topologists. The Eschenburg spaces combine both of those interests: they are positively curved Riemannian manifolds...

  • An inner product on adelic measures

    Creator:
    Oberly, Peter J.
    Abstract:
    We define an inner product on a vector space of adelic measures over a number field $K$. We find that the norm induced by this inner product governs weak convergence at each place of $K$. The canonical adelic measure associated to a rational map is in this vector space, and...
