Mirror, mirror : fairness and justice in climate geoengineering
Climate geoengineering seems an increasingly likely prospect as the gap between current mitigation action and that needed to avoid dangerous climate change remains substantial. Climate change raises fundamental questions of justice with respect to future generations, the poor and vulnerable in the …

On Berglund-Hübsch-Krawitz Mirror Symmetry
… that have Berglund-Hübsch-Krawitz (BHK) mirrors. These Calabi-Yau orbifolds are certain finite symplectic quotients of hypersurfaces in weighted-projective space. First, we will describe their birational geometry using Shioda maps and prove that so-called alternate mirrors are birational. …

Learning distributions with Particle Mirror Descent
… to estimate posterior distribution, Particle Mirror Descent is appealing for its simplicity and flexibility. In this thesis we explore the applications of Particle Mirror Descent in both supervised and unsupervised learning. In the general classification problem with a parametric …

Passive damping of a LIGO mirror
… cavity may overlap with acoustic modes of the mirrors and excite mechanical motion. If such a parametric instability occurs, it will disrupt the operation of the interferometer. In this thesis I test a method to passively damp the acoustic modes of the mirror, using a mass-spring damper. The …

Mirror Imagery in Chaucer's Trolius and Criseide
… that Chaucer's use of the traditional medieval mirror image helps to clarify Criseide's character and her function within the poem. Criseide reflects a glimpse of an absolute ideal for Troilus; the image is transitory and illusive because it is secular. She also mirrors the ambiguous qualities …

Gauged Linear Sigma Model and Mirror Symmetry
… study of gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) and mirror symmetry. The first chapter of this thesis aims to introduce some basics of GLSMs and mirror symmetry. The second chapter contains the author's contributions to new exact results for GLSMs obtained by applying supersymmetric localization. The …
