The symplectic topology of Stein manifolds
Exotic Stein manifolds are Stein manifolds diffeomorphic to JR2 k which cannot be embedded symplectically into the Stein manifold <r:,k. In this thesis we prove two results about exotic Stein manifolds. The first result shows us that in each complex dimension > 2, there exists an exotic Stein …

Good Stein Neighborhood Bases for Nonsmooth Pseudoconvex Domains
… Dufresnoy showed that the existence of a good Stein neighborhood base for Ω ⊂ℂⁿ implies that one can solve the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equations in C^∞(Ω̄), even if the boundary of Ω is only Lipschitz. In my thesis, I will show sufficient conditions for the existence of a good Stein …

Gertrude Stein, spatial form, and prose poetry : how Stein uses the linguistic hybridity of prose poetry to present space as process
… indebted to the formal experiments of Gertrude Stein, can be used to stage space as a flux of becoming. It investigates the dynamics of this kind of prose poetry through critical reflections on my own creative practice as it has developed out of a close analysis of Stein’s poetic innovations. My …

Advances in approximate inference: combining VI and MCMC and improving on Stein discrepancy
… we shift our focus to a promising future: Stein discrepancy, which greatly expands the choice of approximating distributions compared to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. We aim to improve on it by addressing the well-known curse-of-dimensionality problem of its scalable variant: …
