With the recent surge of infectious disease outbreaks across college campuses in the United States, there is a mounting need to ascertain strategies that best mitigate an outbreak’s size and duration. Thus, this paper (i) ...

In this paper, we compute several cobordism groups. We use these calculations to classify invertible extended topological field theory with Hn structures and give a classification of Symmetric Protected Topological (SPT) ...

This thesis studies several compactness problems in gauge theory and explores their applications is low dimensional topology. The first chapter studies a connection between taut foliations and Seiberg-Witten theory. Let Y ...

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian organization in the world, with yearly operations in 80 different countries, providing humanitarian assistance to over 80million people in need. The ...

The time to equilibrium of the local statistics of Dyson Brownian motion with general initial data is investigated. In the bulk of the spectrum it is established that the local statistics coincide with the invariant GOE/GUE ...

Based on the conventions of staff-based music notation, musical passages that sound alike can often be written down in multiple ways, with each representation being considered a different "pitch-spelling". In this thesis, ...

Stochasticity is a fundamental component of evolution. Many essential evolutionary phenomena cannot be modeled without it. In developing and analyzing stochastic processes that model the dynamics of evolution, this ...

This paper argues that being susceptible to money illusion, namely the tendency to think of monetary values in nominal terms rather than real terms, may lead American consumers to hold less favorable impressions of ...

This thesis concerns the global theory of properly embedded spacelike surfaces in 3 dimensional Minkowski space with prescribed Gaussian curvature. We prove that every regular domain which is not a wedge contains a unique ...

This thesis studies the Picard-Fuchs systems for families arising as vector bundles zero loci in toric or partial flag varieties, including Riemann-Hilbert type theorems and arith- metic properties of the differential ...
