Results in Ramsey theory and extremal graph theory
… to graphs. The first problem is in Ramsey theory, while the others are in extremal graph theory. In Chapter 2, which is joint work with Vojtěch Dvořák, we consider the Ramsey number $R(F_n)$ of the fan graph $F_n$, a graph consisting of $n$ triangles which all share a common vertex. Chen, …

D-branes, gauge theory and string field theory
… They include three directions in the string theory. In the first direction, we use the brane setup to find mirror pairs of SO(n) and Sp(k) gauge groups for N = 4 three-dimensional gauge field theories. To reach this result, we analyze carefully the s-configuration and predict a nontrivial …

Advancing Catalysis Theory with Theory-infused Deep Learning
… and poor explainability. We developed a theory-infused neural network (TinNet) approach that integrates deep learning algorithms with catalysis theory. Incorporation of scientific knowledge of physical interactions into learning from data opens up new avenues for interpretable discovery …

Dimension Theory
We explore the concept of dimension using mathematical tools. We start by providing definitions, examples, and basic properties for two types of topological dimension: small inductive dimension and large inductive dimension. We then repeat this process to investigate a type of fractal dimension …

Ramsey Theory
<p>The Ramsey number $R(r, b)$ is the least positive integer such that every edge 2-coloring of the complete graph $K_{R(r, b)}$ with colors red and blue either embeds a red $K_r$ or a blue $K_b$. We explore various methods to find lower bounds on $R(r,b)$, finding new results on fibrations and …

Bargaining Theory
… using the methods of non-cooperative game theory. In Part I (chapters 1 and 2) we examine the role of commitment in bilateral bargaining. Two different notions of commitment in bargaining are explored in two different non-cooperative infinite-time horizon sequential games with complete and …

Aspects of higher dimensional Einstein theory and M-theory
… two main themes. The first is Einstein's theory of general relativity in higher dimensions, while the second is M-theory. The first part of the thesis concerns the use of classification techniques based on the Weyl curvature in an attempt to systematically study higher dimensional general …

Class Field Theory and the Theory of n-Fermat Primes
Most problems in number theory are exceedingly simple to state, yet many continue to elude mathematicians even centuries after they were originally posed. Such

Conditions Variable: Assemblage Theory and Systems Theory in Creative Practice
… twenty-first century phenomenon of Assemblage theory, which originated in the field of philosophy, within the last 100 years of creative practice. Drawing from Manuel DeLanda’s application of Assemblage theory, I will devise a means to discuss creative practice without reducing its analysis to …

An investigation of relationships between graph theory and coding theory
The problem of the existence of perfect and nearly perfect codes over finite alphabets is generalised in two directions. This thesis is concerned with the existence and combinatorial properties of completely regular codes in distance-regular graphs. One of the main tools is the generalisation of …

Inspirational leadership: the written theory versus the theory-in-action

Theory and applications of nonparametric regression in item response theory

Formal ᴘ‑Category Theory and Normalisation for Simple Type Theory
This thesis extends ᴘ‑category theory, introduced in Čubrić et al. (1998), and develops ᴘ‑bicategory theory, and thereafter uses them to conduct a ᴘ‑categorical analysis and synthesis of normalisation by evaluation for simple type theory. ᴘ‑category theory was introduced as a non-standard …
