Abstract:

A symplectic manifold is a smooth manifold M together with a choice of aclosed non-degenerate two-form. Recent years have seen the importance of associatingan A∞-category to M, called its Fukaya category, in helping to understandsymplectic properties of M and its Lagrangian submanifolds. One of the principlesof this construction is that automorphisms of the symplectic manifold shouldinduce autoequivalences of the derived Fukaya category, although precisely whatautoequivalences are thus obtained has been established in very few cases. Given a Lagrangian V ≅ CPn in a symplectic manifold (M,ω), t

Abstract:

Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model include an extended Higgs sector, responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking, and predict the existence of additional Higgs bosons. The Type II Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) is a particularly well motivated scenario and a suitable framework for phenomenological studies of extended Higgs sectors. Its low energy spectrum includes two CP-even Higgses h and H, one CP-odd Higgs A, and a pair of charged Higgses H±. We study the implication of the LHC Higgs search results on the Type II 2HDM and identify regions of parameter space which are consist

Monte Carlo methods in derivative pricing are computationally expensive, in particular for evaluating models partial derivatives with regard to inputs.

Models are trained on large datasets of low-accuracy (10^4 simulations) Monte Carlo data, successfully learning the true model with

This research encompasses two quite distinct searches for exotic matter. The first half concerns exotic matter on the scale of elementary particles. In this chapter, I consider the production of gluinos, the supersymmetric partner of the gluon, in models where the gluino is very light. Cross sections are calculated for electroproduction and hadroproduction of gluinos and the results indicate that existing accelerators are capable of probing the region of gluino masses between 1.0 and 2.0GeV with lifetimes between 10{dollar}\sp{lcub}-10{rcub}{dollar} and 10{dollar}\sp{lcub}-6{rcub}{dollar} seco

Abstract:

Native communities increasingly host exotic species at multiple trophic levels, but most current hypotheses about community invasibility consider only a single invader. In addition to the simultaneous effects of native herbivores and native plant competitors on community invasibility, we must also consider the possibility of positive or negative feedback cycles between exotic species at multiple trophic levels. Though examples of mutually-beneficial interactions between exotic species have been described, and the possibility of subsequent "invasional meltdown" scenarios raised, few studi

Invasion of exotic species is a significant problem in natural ecosystems, reaching epidemic proportions and resulting in significant economic losses. However, insufficient knowledge of explicit spatial distribution of invasive species hinders our ability to prevent and/or mitigate future invasion. In this study, we demonstrate the use of existing voluntary data to survey invasive plant species in Kentucky. We also reconstructed the historical distribution of 16 exotic invasive plants typical to Kentucky using herbarium records. We found that Kentucky is facing a large threat from exotic invas

American chestnut was once a crucial component of North American forests, but it was functionally eliminated by the introduction of the chestnut blight fungus. Chestnut is recently experiencing resurgence, but the introduced Asian chestnut gall wasp, a specialist herbivore, threatens chestnut recovery.

Gall wasp dispersal is attributable to host plant distribution, effects of prevailing winds during adult insect emergence, and to topography. This knowledge may be useful

Les noyaux 6He et 11Li sont des exemples typiques, et sont décrits par des structures alpha+n+n et 9Li+n+n, respectivement. La principale technique expérimentale pour étudier ces noyaux consiste à développer des faisceaux d’ions radioactifs, et à mesurer la section efficace de dissociation sur des cibles lourdes.

In this thesis, we discuss applications of numerical relativity in a variety of complex settings.

Having setup this background, we turn to our simplest application of numerical relativity, namely fractionalisation in holographic condensed matter. We explain how one may describe this phenomenon by studying particular classes of

We propose that such quark objects surviving the quark-hadron transition in the early universe, constitute the dark matter and that mergers of these objects are the inner engine of gamma-ray bursts.

This thesis examines a means of identifying key emerging threats and, once identified, then modelling techniques are used to estimate the risk of introduction.

A study is structured around four themes of meaning. The significance of exotic animals is explored, in turn, through their function as commodities, as objects of sensory encounter, as political symbols and charismatic material for anatomical inv

Our solutions break translations along one or more spatial directions of the dual field theory, thus making them suitable for describing lattices in strongly coupled matter. After a brief introduction to the gauge/gravity duality, three different set-ups are considered. First, in the context
