• #### Shimura Degrees for Elliptic Curves over Number Fields ﻿

A crowning achievement of Number theory in the 20th century is a theorem of Wiles which states that for an elliptic curve E over <bold>Q</bold> of conductor N, there is a non-constant map from the modular curve of level N ...
• #### Smoothness of Loewner Slits ﻿

(2013-02-25)
In this dissertation, we show that the chordal Loewner differential equation with C^{beta} driving function generates a C^{beta + 1/2} slit for 1/2 < beta <= 2, except when beta = 3/2 the slit is only proved to be weakly C^{1,1}.
• #### Some cohomology of finite general linear groups ﻿

We prove that the degree r(2p − 3) cohomology of any (untwisted) finite group of Lie type over F_(p^r), with coefficients in characteristic p, is nonzero as long as its Coxeter number is at most p. We do this by providing ...
• #### Some Inverse Problems in Analysis and Geometry ﻿

The aim of a typical inverse problem is to recover the interior properties of a medium by making measurements only on the boundary. These types of problems are motivated by geophysics, medical imaging and quantum mechanics ...
• #### Some Linear and Nonlinear Geometric Inverse Problems ﻿

Inverse problems is an area at the interface of several disciplines and has become a prominent research topic due to its potential applications. A wide range of these problems can be formulated under various geometric ...
• #### Spectral Theory of Z^d Substitutions ﻿

In this paper, we generalize and develop results of Queffelec allowing us to characterize the spectrum of an aperiodic substitution in Z^d by describing the Fourier coefficients of mutually singular measures of pure type ...

• #### The Zeros of Elliptic Curve L-functions: Analytic Algorithms with Explicit Time Complexity ﻿

Elliptic curves are central objects of study in modern-day algebraic number theory. The problem of how to determine the rank of a rational elliptic curve is a difficult one, and at the time of the writing of this thesis ...
