A KLEINIAN APPROACH TO FUNDAMENTAL REGIONS
<p>This thesis takes a Kleinian approach to hyperbolic geometry in order to illustrate the importance of discrete subgroups and their fundamental domains (fundamental regions). A brief history of Euclids Parallel Postulate and its relation to the discovery of hyperbolic geometry be given first. We …

Paranoid-Schizoid, Manic Defensive Society: Kleinian Psychodynamics in Contemporary Political Culture

Composition Sequences and Semigroups of Möbius Transformations
Motivated by the theory of Kleinian groups and by the theory of continued fractions, we study semigroups of Möbius transformations. Like Kleinian groups, semigroups have limit sets, and indeed each semigroup is equipped with two limit sets. We find that limit sets have an internal structure with …

Free products of abelian groups in mapping class groups
… finiteness originally come from the study of Kleinian groups. The analogous notion of convex cocompactness for mapping class groups is due to Farb-Mosher. In recent work, Dowdall-Durham-Leininger-Sisto have proposed a definition of “parabolic” geometric finiteness for mapping class groups. In …

Hochschild homology / cohomology of preprojective algebras of ADET quivers
… many other important applications, see e.g. to Kleinian singularities. In this thesis, I computed the Hochschild homology/cohomology of [Pi]q over C for quivers of type ADET, together with the cup product, and more generally, the calculus structure. It turns out that the Hochschild cohomology …

Difficult conversations on the frontline. Managing the tensions between care and control: are communication skills enough?

This is a timely and detailed study which illuminates the nuances of real practice and hopes to …

The Pull to fusion: an exploration of observed links between autism and hoarding
… mainly used Tustin’s approach to autism based on Kleinian theories of primary envy, of the infant’s most primitive anxieties and of the symbolisation process. It is here argued that the very early trauma, understood by psychoanalytic writers to be linked to unbearable experiences of separateness, …

Anti-Oedipus en-procés : a comparative analysis of Kristeva and Deleuze & Guattari

New Methods for Finding Non-Left-Orderable and Unique Product Groups
In this paper, we present techniques for proving a group to be non-left-orderable or a unique product group. These methods involve the existence of a mapping from the group to R which obeys a left-multiplication criterion. By determining the existence or non-existence of such a mapping, the desired …
