Spring 2014
Let G be a locally compact group. It is well-known that G^LUC, the spectrum of the algebra of left uniformly continuous functions on G, the so-called LUC-compactification of G, is a semigroup with product restricted from the Arens product on LUC(G)^*. Now consider the algebra of weighted left...

Theoretical and Computational Aspects of Mixture Models, with Applications to Empirical Bayes Methods
DownloadFall 2018
This thesis studies mixture models, in particular the estimation of mixing distributions and their applications to empirical Bayes prediction. The objectives are two-fold: to study the large-sample property of empirical Bayes estimators; to develop algorithms for the nonparametric estimation of...

Theory of Spectral Sequences of Exact Couples: Applications To Countably And Transfinitely Filtered Modules
DownloadFall 2013
This thesis has two parts. In the first part we start from an arbitrary exact couple of R-modules and describe completely how the E-infinity terms of the associated spectral sequence relate to adjacent filtration stages of the universal (co-)augmenting objects of the exact couple. This advances...

Fall 2017
In this thesis, we formulate and prove the theorem of quadratic reciprocity for an arbitrary number field. We follow Hecke and base our argument on analytic techniques and especially on an identity of theta functions called theta inversion. From this inversion formula and a limiting argument, we...
