Knot complements and 3-manifolds
The study of 3-manifold groups has reached big success in the last few decades, with the proof of geometrization theorem by Perelman, and several virtually compact special theorems by Wise, etc. In this paper, we will explore several aspects of 3-manifold groups and see what it shows for the knot …

Approximation of Generalized Schur Complements (Ladder Network)
The Schur complement of a linear operator on a finite dimensional Hilbert space is discussed and six generalizations are presented. Conditions are established under which these generalizations are equivalent. The infinite dimensional case is then considered and counterexamples are given to show …

Left-orderability of Dehn surgeries on knot complements
Let M be a Q-homology solid torus. In this thesis, we give a cohomological criterion for the existence of an interval of left orderable Dehn surgeries on M. We apply this criterion to prove that the two-bridge knot that corresponds to the continued fraction [1,1,2,2,2j] for j >= 1 and the …

Holomorphic flexibility properties of complements and mapping spaces.
… occurring candidates for examples include complements of hypersurfaces in Pn, especially low-degree or non-algebraic hypersurfaces (in contrast with Kobayashi’s conjecture that the complement of a generic high-degree hypersurface should be hyperbolic), and spaces of holomorphic maps. This …

A homotopy reciprocity law for ribbon disc complements
… paper, we present two new spines for ribbon disc complements. We describe Craggs's 3-dimensional spine and introduce a 2-dimensional spine ${\cal W}\sp2$ which we show satisfies the homotopy reciprocity law. We demonstrate that the reciprocity property remains invariant under insertions and …

The Complements of 2-Complexes in the 4-Ball
We later apply gccc's to the study of the Property P Conjecture. We show that every 3-manifold obtained by surgery on a knot in S 3 has a spine which is a gccc. Let M denote the surgery manifold and let X denote the gccc spine. We define the dual, X*, of X and show that if M is a homotopy 3-sphere, …

Optimization and visualization of strategies for platforms, complements, and services
… that a company whose strategy is to produce complements or services for another firm's platform may be said to have a platform strategy, and further assumes that a company with a modular platform strategy built primarily for its own internal use may also be said to have a platform strategy. …

Acquisition of the T and C system in clausal complements
In order to discover how children acquire the T(ense) and C(omplementizer) system, finite and nonfinite embedded clauses produced by children in the CHILDES database were studied. It was discovered that young children often delete to in nonfinite embedded clauses, and that they use that in the C …

Chromosomal complements and variation in some Venezuelan annual killifishes (cyprinodontidae)
Karyotypes of nine species of Venezuelan annual killifishes were compared. Karyotypic differences were found between species and between some genera. A chromosomal sexual dimorphism was found in <u>Pterolebias hoignei</u> (2N = 46). Males of this species possess a single large "Y" chromosome. No …

Calculating and Preserving Star Sets and Star Complements of General Matrices
… several results relating to star sets and star complements of graphs. While a method for calculating star sets and star complements involving pro- jection matrices has been known since their introduction, a second method involving determinants is demonstrated and shown to be equivalent to the …

Language Change and Infinitival Complements in Old French (Syntax, Historical, Romance)
This study presents an analysis of infinitival complement constructions in Old French which differ syntactically from their Modern French parallels. The analysis is formulated in the terms of the Government and Binding framework and it has the aim both of accounting for the constructions in …

Savings Groups and Banks: Complements or Substitutes? Financial Inclusion in Rural Tanzania
<p>Abstract: The substantial increase in the number savings and credit groups as well as microfinance institutions over the past years suggests that individuals in the developing world have progressively become aware of the importance of access to financial services. This study adds to the existing …

Value Creation from Complements in Platform Markets: Studies on the Video Game Industry
… does platform maturity affect the adoption of complements in two-sided markets? A key feature of two-sided markets is the existence of indirect network effects. In the first empirical study, I argue that demand heterogeneity from end-users adopting the platform at different points in time, …

Complements on Log Canonical Fano Varieties and Index Conjecture of Log Calabi-Yau Varieties
This thesis aims to generalise the theory of complements to log canonical Fano varieties and relate theory of complements to the index conjecture of log Calabi-Yau varieties. We mainly work over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, more specifically over C. We will first introduce …

Some Results on the Degeneracy of Entire Curves and Integral Points in the Complements of Divisors
In this dissertation, we first discuss some of the important results in Nevanlinna Theory and Diophantine Approximation Theory. Next, a result by the author and Min Ru \cite{LR} is presented. In chapter 3, we extend the Second Main Theorem to the case of holomorphic curves into algebraic varieties …
