The Fukaya category, exotic forms and exotic autoequivalences
… manifold itself: we call such autoequivalences exotic. Computations in Fukaya categories have also been useful in distinguishing certain symplectic forms on exact symplectic manifolds from the "standard" forms. In Part II, we investigate the uniqueness of so-called exotic structures on certain …

Exotic Monoliths
This thesis is entitled 'Exotic Monoliths', which has been defined, in the context of this thesis, as monoliths; (1) synthesised by methods not previously described in the literature, (2) synthesised from commonly used silica or organic polymer materials but whose surface has been modified with a …

Exotic Species of Hydrogen
… H3 and the negative ion of Hydrogen H-. These 'exotic' systems of Hydrogen are known to have a rather instable character due to their strong internal coupling and correlation phenomena. Their astrophysical significance and their role as exemplary cases in fundamental research justify the great …

Exotic Phenomena in Dimension Four
… of homeomorphic 4-manifolds with non-equivalent “exotic” smooth structures, and show that any finite list of smooth, closed, simply-connected 4-manifolds that are homeomorphic to a given one X can be obtained by removing a single compact contractible submanifold (or cork) from X, and then regluing …

Foliations and exotic index theory
… map is rationally injective by using the exotic index theorem. The foliation exotic index theorem of S. Hurder is an extension of the theorem of G. Yu to the index theory for the foliations. Using the functorial property of the Kasparov KK-product, the foliation exotic index theorem can be …

Exotic superconductivity in quantum materials
… and discuss possible microscopic mechanisms for exotic superconductivity. In Part I of this thesis, we explore the properties of two-component superconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling. Our study is motivated by the experiments on a topological superconductor candidate material, Bi2Se3 …

Competition Between Native and Exotic Daphnia
The recently introduced exotic cladoceran zooplankter Daphnia lumholtzi offers an excellent opportunity to study the impact of an exotic species on invaded communities. Of particular concern are the possibilities that exotics may displace native taxa and alter trophic interactions. In situ field …

Exotic Stars and Thorne-Żytkow Objects
… core. This dissertation focuses on the study of exotic stellar objects, both a class of hybrid stars with a neutron core known as Thorne-Żytkow Objects (TŻOs), and highly magnetized, super-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarfs. A Thorne-Żytkow Object may form as a result of a Common Envelope Evolution …

Exotic symplectic manifolds from Lefschetz fibrations
In this thesis I construct, in all odd complex dimensions, pairs of Liouville domains W0 and W1 which are diffeomorphic to the cotangent bundle of the sphere with one extra subcritical handle, but are not symplectomorphic. While W0 is symplectically very similar to the cotangent bundle itself, W1 …

Asymmetry dependence of correlations in exotic nuclei
… the asymmetry dependence of correlations in exotic nuclei. In the first experiment, a digital-signal-processing technique was developed to measure the neutron total cross section of the rare: but stable) isotope <super>48</super>Ca using a sample that is an order of magnitude smaller than …

Exotic Dark Matter in the Early Universe
… two scenarios in which dark matter is capable of exotic behavior in the early universe. In the first scenario, I consider particle dark matter that is able to decay or annihilate into standard model matter. I describe a code package, DarkHistory, that quickly and accurately calculates the effects …

Spin liquids, exotic phases and phase transitions
… It was a long debate about whether these exotic states can serve as the ground states in real materials or even models. In this thesis I firstly discuss a large-N model, where we show the spin liquid states can be the ground states. Because the spin liquid phases cannot be characterized by …

Spectroscopy of exotic charm mesons from lattice QCD
Exotic mesons are mesons that cannot be described as a quark-antiquark pair. The number of exotic mesons has been growing every year in the charm sector and the theoretical understanding of them is often conflicted amongst the community. Some possible explanations include hybrid mesons where the …

Model Misspecification and the Hedging of Exotic Options
Asset pricing models are well established and have been used extensively by practitioners both for pricing options as well as for hedging them. Though Black-Scholes is the original and most commonly communicated asset pricing model, alternative asset pricing models which incorporate additional …

Exotic Phenomena Emerging from Localized Multipolar Degrees of Freedom
… matter systems offers the opportunity for exotic macroscopic quantum phenomena. Multipolar moments, higher order generalizations of the familiar dipole, present a unique avenue for the discovery of a variety of exotic and novel phases of matter. These anisotropic charge and magnetization …
