Advisor:  Dr. James Wilson Committee:  Dr. Amit Patel, Dr. Maria Gillespie, Dr. Sanjay Rajopadhye Title: A Representation Theory for Bilinear Maps The intent of this paper is to assemble basic concepts and results for a representation theory of biadditive and bilinear maps. Towards this end, we begin with some foundational definitions which are meant to […]

Advisor: Dr. James Wilson Committee:  Dr. Alexander Hulpke, Dr. Dustin Tucker Title: Decomposing bilinear maps Abstract: Finding distinguishable communities in a large population, expressing groups as a direct sum of their subgroups, and determining the distinct sources of stress on a metal beam are all different versions of the same problem. The problem is how […]

apr14_23 Zeta functions in asymptotic algebra I: subobject growth Tobias Rossmann University of Galway, IrelandOver the past decades, the study of zeta functions arising from algebraiccounting problems has evolved into a distinct branch of asymptotic algebra.An appealing feature of this area is that it constitutes a meeting groundfor several different mathematical subjects such as algebra, […]

Advisor: Dr. Patrick ShipmanCommittee:  Dr. Jennifer Mueller, Dr. Joe von FischerTitle: Nonlinear Dynamics and Machine Learning Classification of PlantPigment PatternsAbstract: Plants exhibit a variety of vibrant colors that are bothbeautiful and functional. They owe their reds, purples, and blues to aclass of pigments called anthocyanins. Many plants possess spatialvariation in their anthocyanin concentration and color, […]

Advisor:  Dr. Mark ShoemakerCo-Advisor:Dr. Renzo CavalieriCommittee:  Dr. Alexander Hulpke, Dr. Chris Peterson, Dr. MariaGillespie, Dr Hua ChenTitle: A Quantum H∗(G)-module via Quasimap InvariantsAbstract: For X a smooth variety or Deligne—Mumford stack, the quantumcohomology ring QH^*(X) is a deformation of the usual cohomology ringH^*(X), where the product structure is modified to incorporate quantumcorrections.  These correction terms […]

Title: Enumerative geometry and the Shapiro--Shapiro ConjectureAbstract:In three dimensions, how many lines pass through four given lines? This question comes from classical enumerative geometry over the complex numbers (Schubert calculus); nowadays, it and many similar problems are well understood, in part due to the theory of moduli spaces. Over the real numbers, however, most such […]
