Calibrations and minimal Lagrangian submanifolds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis will be concerned with the geometry of minimal submanifolds in certain Riemannian manifolds which possess some special geometric structure. Those Riemannian manifolds will fall into one of the following categories: ... -
Cardy embedding of random planar maps and a KPZ formula for mated trees
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is a random fractal curve which describes the scaling limit of interfaces in a wide range of statistical physics models. Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) is a random fractal surface which ... -

Chain and antichain enumeration in posets, and b-ary partitions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The Greene-Kleitman theorem says that the lengths of chains and antichains in any poset are intimately related via an integer partition, but very little is known about the partition [lambda](P) for most posets P. Our first ... -
The chaotic obliquity of Mars

Character sheaves on symmetric spaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Inspired by the work of Lusztig, we apply the theory of character sheaves on a symmetric space (h la Ginzburg and Grojnowski) to the problem of determining the spherical functions (averages of the irreducible characters) ... -

Classical simulation complexity of restricted models of quantum computation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Restricted models of quantum computation are mathematical models which describe quantum computers that have limited access to certain resources. Well-known examples of such models include the boson sampling model, extended ... -
Classification and enumeration of special classes of posets and polytopes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis concerns combinatorial and enumerative aspects of different classes of posets and polytopes. The first part concerns the finite Eulerian posets which are binomial, Sheffer or triangular. These important classes ... -
A classification of real and complex nilpotent orbits of reductive groups in terms of complex even nilpotent orbits
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Let g be a complex, reductive Lie algebra. We prove a theorem parametrizing the set of nilpotent orbits in g in terms of even nilpotent orbits of subalgebras of g and show how to determine these subalgebras and how to ... -
The classifying ring of groups whose classifying ring is commutative.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975) -
Closed quasigeodesics, escaping from polygons, and conflict-free graph coloring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Closed quasigeodesics. A closed quasigeodesic on the surface of a polyhedron is a loop which can everywhere locally be unfolded to a straight line: thus, it's straight on faces, uniquely determined on edges, and has as ... -

Cocommutative Hopf algebras with antipode.
