Identities between Hecke Eigenforms
… weight $k>2$ and $a,b\neq 0$. Using polynomial identities between Hecke eigenforms, we give another proof that the $j$-function is algebraic on zeros of Eisenstein series of weight $12k$. Assuming Maeda's conjecture, we prove that the Petersson inner product $\langle f^2,g\rangle$ is nonzero, …

Combinatorics of determinantal identities
… proving and generalizing classical determinantal identities. In Chapter 1, we present some historical background and discuss the algebraic framework we employ throughout the thesis. In Chapter 2, we construct a fundamental bijection between certain monomials that proves crucial for most of the …

Making Muslim Identities: Contested Meaning, Identities, and Racialization of Islam in Saint Louis, Missouri
… face in constructing American Islamic social identities. While practitioners of Islam profess anti-racist ideologies, the American Muslim community has a complex underlying hierarchy with sharp divisions between African-American Muslims, Euro-American Muslims, and various immigrant Muslim …

Uncovering identities through performance poetry
… both a macro and a micro evaluation of multiple identities on multiple levels; and validation occurred as either a natural or prompted response. Overall, this study demonstrates the usefulness of performance poetry in not only self-expression by also as valuable instrument in managing …

Product Identities for Theta Functions
… a general method for establishing q-series identities. Using this method, we can show that if Zn can be taken as the disjoint union of a lattice generated by n linearly independent vectors in Z n and a finite number of its translates, certain products of theta functions can be written as …

On Projective Planes & Rational Identities
… precisely to the theory of integral rational identities, restricted to division rings D. The first chapter of this paper introduces projective planes, develops the concept of an intersection theorem, and expounds upon the Theorem of Desargues; the discussion culminates with a proof of the …

Pre-Collegiates Students' Teaching Identities
… connected to construction of personal teaching identities. Using a life history methodology, data sources included 3 interviews, drawings of self as a teacher, journal writings, and personal experience writings. The findings are presented in 4 narratives one for each participant. Each narrative, …

Polynomial Identities on Algebras with Actions
When an algebra is endowed with the additional structure of an action or a grading, one can often make striking conclusions about the algebra based on the properties of the structure-induced subspaces. For example, if A is an associative G-graded algebra such that the homogeneous component A1 …

Running Identities and Interaction Ritual Chains
… as IRCs. Second, we see that IRCs produce identities within individuals which reflect the IRC's activities and its group members. Third, we look at how IRCs of varied strengths produce identities of varied strengths. Fourth, we compare different types of group training programs and their …
