In this dissertation, we describe the biophysical mechanisms underlying the relationship between the structure and function of the KcsA K+ channel. Because of the conciseness of electro-diffusion theory and the computational advantages...
In Seminaire de Geometrie Algebrique 4 (SGA4), Expose XVIII, Pierre Deligne proves that to any Picard stack one can associate a complex of abelian sheaves of length 2. He also studies the morphisms between such stacks and shows that such...
We work over an algebraically closed ground field of characteristic zero. The group of PGL(4) acts naturally on the projective space P^N parameterizing surfaces of a given degree d in P^3. The orbit of a surface under this action is the...
A finite group G acts freely on an orientable manifold M if each element of G is a homeomorphism of M, without fixed points, and the multiplication in G is the composition of homeomorphisms. The map from M to M/G of M to the orbit space...
The main result in this thesis bounds the combinatorial modulus of a ring in a triangulation graph in terms of the modulus of a related ring. The bounds depend only on how the rings are related and not on the rings themselves. This may...
We construct sequences of pseudo-Anosov examples which we use to bound the minimal dilatation on arbitrary surfaces. We show that these bounds give the asymptotic behavior of the minimal dilatations for certain sequences. Further we show...
This dissertation studies certain intersection numbers of exceptional divisions arising from blowing up subspaces of lattices associated to graphs. These permit the computation of the Segre class of a scheme associated to the graph...
