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.

Fall 2013
A Gelfand theory for an arbitrary Banach algebra A is a pair (G;A), such that: A is a C-algebra and G : A ! A is an algebra homomorphism; G induces a bijection between the set of maximal modular left ideals of A and the set of maximal modular left ideals of A; and for every maximal modular left...

Fall 2023
The aim of this thesis is to provide an exposition to Mochizuki and Hoshi's approach to birational anabelian geometry of mixed characteristic local fields. In the introductory chapter, we begin by recalling the relevant backgrounds on the Grothendieck conjectures on the étale fundamental groups...

Fall 2019
We study the automorphism group of a non-singular hypersurface. We show that the automorphism group is finite in some conditions.

Spring 2017
This study focuses on the motion of a hollow flexible tube conveying a flowing fluid, also known as the garden-hose instability. This system becomes unstable when the fluid moving through the pipe exceeds a critical flow rate. This non-linear dynamical system involves complex fluid-structure...

Fall 2015
In this thesis, we present expositions of Gromov-Witten invariants, Hurwitz numbers, topological recursion and their connections. By remodeling theory, open Gromov-Witten invariants of C^3 and C^3/Za satisfy the topological recursion of Eynard-Orantin defined on framed mirror curve of toric...

On intersection theory, Severi-Brauer varieties, and the intersection theory of Severi-Brauer varieties
DownloadFall 2019
This thesis investigates the Chow ring, and neighboring functors, of a Severi-Brauer variety. The approach taken here heavily depends on the computation of lower K-groups of a Severi-Brauer variety.We construct a functor (for an arbitrary scheme essentially of finite type over a field) that is a...

Spring 2016
This thesis investigates efficient and robust estimators for binomial regression models. For this purpose, I have made use of two minimum distance estimation methods developed for discrete data, namely Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimation (MHDE) and Symmetric Chi-squared Distance Estimation...

Fall 2013
In this thesis, two robust and efficient methods of estimation are examined in dose-response studies context. In particular, we investigate the minimum Hellinger distance estimation and symmetric chi-squared distance methods of estimation. We support our theoretical results with extensive finite...

On Multivariate Quantile Regression: Directional Approach and Application with Growth Charts
DownloadFall 2009
In this thesis, we introduce a concept of directional quantile envelopes, the intersection of the halfspaces determined by directional quantiles, and show that they allow for explicit probabilistic interpretation, compared to other multivariate quantile concepts. Directional quantile envelopes...
