K3 surfaces, cyclotomic polynomials and orthogonal groups

Let X be a complex projective K3 surface and let T-X be its transcendental lattice; the characteristic polynomials of isometries of T-X induced by automorphisms of X are powers of cyclotomic polynomials. Which powers of cyclotomic polynomials occur? The ai ...

Educating Engineering Students to Address Bias and Discrimination Within Their Project Teams

Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac, Nihat Kotluk

What training should engineering students receive to enable them to contribute to reducing bias, discrimination and the persistent lack of diversity in engineering? Collaboration is central to professional engineering work and, consequently, teamwork and g ...

Numerical Methods for First and Second Order Fully Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Dimitrios Gourzoulidis

This thesis focuses on the numerical analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) with an emphasis on first and second-order fully nonlinear PDEs. The main goal is the design of numerical methods to solve a variety of equations such as orthogonal maps ...

Numerical Approximation Of Orthogonal Maps

Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat, Dimitrios Gourzoulidis

Orthogonal maps are the solutions of the mathematical model of paper-folding, also called the origami problem. They consist of a system of first-order fully nonlinear equations involving the gradient of the solution. The Dirichlet problem for orthogonal ma ...

LSST: From Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

David Atienza Alonso, Darong Huang, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Shahram Khazaei, Anja Annemone Becker, Shikhar Tuli, Michelle Miller, Guillaume Blanc, Abhijit Saha, Wei Cui, Christopher Montgomery, Darko Jevremovic

We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The LSST design is driven by four main science themes: probing dark energy and dark matter, taking an inventory of the solar system, ex ...

Spinning operators and defects in conformal field theory

Marco Meineri

We study the kinematics of correlation functions of local and extended operators in a conformal field theory. We present a new method for constructing the tensor structures associated to primary operators in an arbitrary bosonic representation of the Loren ...

On irreducible subgroups of simple algebraic groups

Donna Testerman, Claude Marion

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p >= 0, let H be a proper closed subgroup of G and let V be a nontrivial irreducible KG-module, which is p-restricted, tensor indecomposable and rational. Assume that ...

Contextualizing the co-creation of artefacts within the nested social structure of a collaborative MOOC

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kshitij Sharma, Stian Haklev

MOOCs have traditionally been seen as providing an individual learning experience, however there is an increasing trend towards enabling social learning in MOOCs. To make online learning at scale more social and collaborative, some MOOCs have introduced co ...

High-Quality Parallel-Ray x-Ray CT Back Projection Using Optimized Interpolation

Michaël Unser, Michael Thompson McCann

We propose a new, cost-efficient method for computing back projections in parallel-ray X-ray CT. Forward and back projections are the basis of almost all X-ray CT reconstruction methods, but computing these accurately is costly. In the special case of para ...

Polynomials Vanishing On Cartesian Products: The Elekes-Szabo Theorem Revisited

Frank de Zeeuw

Let F 2 C[x; y; z] be a constant-degree polynomial, and let A; B; C subset of C be finite sets of size n. We show that F vanishes on at most O(n(11/6))points of the Cartesian product A X B X C, unless F has a special group-related form. This improves a the ...

Efficient Shape Priors for Spline-Based Snakes

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

Parametric active contours are an attractive approach for image segmentation, thanks to their computational efficiency. They are driven by application-dependent energies that reflect the prior knowledge on the object to be segmented. We propose an energy i ...

Embeddings Of Maximal Tori In Orthogonal Groups

Eva Bayer Fluckiger

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an orthogonal group defined over a global field of characteristic not equal 2 to contain a maximal torus of a given type. ...

Higman ideal, stable Hochschild homology and Auslander-Reiten conjecture

Yuming Liu

Let A and B be two finite dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field, related to each other by a stable equivalence of Morita type. We prove that A and B have the same number of isomorphism classes of simple modules if and only if their 0-degr ...

Hybridization of wave functions in one-dimensional localization

Dmitri Ivanov

A quantum particle can be localized in a disordered potential, the effect known as Anderson localization. In such a system, correlations of wave functions at very close energies may be described, due to Mott, in terms of a hybridization of localized states ...

Orthogonal differential vector signaling

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Harm Cronie

Using a transformation based at least in part on a non-simple orthogonal or unitary matrix, data may be transmitted over a data bus in a manner that is resilient to one or more types of signal noise, that does not require a common reference at the transmis ...

Decomposing locally compact groups into simple pieces

Nicolas Monod

We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is put on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic cocompact sub ...

Applications of a theorem of Singerman about Fuchsian groups

Hugo Parlier

Assume that we have a (compact) Riemann surface S, of genus greater than 2, with S = D/Gamma, where D is the complex unit disc and Gamma is a surface Fuchsian group. Let us further consider that S has an automorphism group G in such a way that the orbifold ...

Generic representations of orthogonal groups: the mixed functors

Christine Vespa

In previous work, we defined the category of functors F-quad, associated to F-2-vector spaces equipped with a nondegenerate quadratic form. In this paper, we define a special family of objects in the category F-quad, named the mixed functors. We give the c ...
