This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Amenability and fixed point properties of semi-topological semigroups of non-expansive mappings in Banach spaces
DownloadFall 2016
In this thesis we are interested in fixed point properties of representations of semi-topological semigroups of non-expansive mappings on weak and weak* compact convex sets in Banach or dual spaces. More particularly, we study the following problems : Problem 1 : Let F be any commuting family of...

Fall 2015
A discrete flow (S,X) is a semigroup S acting on a set X where both S, and X are equipped with the discrete topology. Amenability of semigroups is a topic that explores the existence of measures that are invariant under the semigroup multiplication. The goal of this thesis is to generalize these...

Fall 2017
In this thesis, we prove the non-amenability of the Banach algebra B(E), the banach algebra of all operators on an infinite dimensional Banach space E, where, for p in the interval [1,infinity), E is an infinite dimensional Lp-space in the sense of Lindenstrauss and Pelczynski. In addition, we...

Left amenability, in it's modern form, was introduced by M. M. Day, in the 1940s. Amenability of groups and semigroups turned out to be quite common, and many interesting results are known, which motivated the introduction of extreme left amenability by Granirer in the 1960s. Extreme amenability...
