Motivic integration over nilpotent structures
… functorial approach (as opposed to the traditional model theoretic approach) allows for some very general notions of motivic integration. However, the central focus is on using this general framework to study generically smooth schemes, then non-reduced schemes, and then, finally, formal …

Beyond particles and localities in quantum matters
… properties may require one to consider a non-traditional model. In this dissertation, we construct several phenomenological models based on the notions of unparticles and nonlocalities to explain some of the exotic properties of the high temperature cuprate superconductors. The properties of …
