This thesis investigates class field theory for one dimensional fields and higher dimensional fields. For one dimensional fields we cover the cases of local fields and global fields of positive characteristic. For higher dimensional fields we study the case of higher local fields of positive characteristic. The main content of the thesis is divided into two parts. The first part solves several problems directly related to Neukirch's axiomatic class field theory method. We first prove the famous Hilbert 90 Theorem in the case of tamely ramified extensions of local fields in an explicit way. This approach can be of use in understanding the role of the ring structure as opposed to the role of multiplication only in local class field theory. Next, we prove that for every local field, its `class field theory' is unique. Lastly, we establish the Neukirch axiom for global fields of positive characteristic, which leads to a new approach to class field theory for such fields, an approach that has not appeared in the previous literature. There are two main successful directions in higher local class field theory, one by Kato and another by Fesenko. While Kato used a technical cohomological method, Fesenko generalised the Neukirch method and gave the first proof of the existence theorem. In the second part of the thesis we deal with the third method in class field theory that works in positive characteristic only, the Kawada-Satake method. We generalise the classical Kawada-Satake method to higher local fields of positive characteristic. We correct substantial mistakes in a paper of Parshin on such class field theory. We develop the first complete presentation of the theory based on the generalised Kawada-Satake method using advanced properties of topological Milnor K-groups. These advanced properties include Fesenko's theorem about relations of topological and algebraic properties of Milnor K-groups.

Maps are among the oldest and the most popular forms of graphical communication, which have always been highly regarded for high efficiency of information transfer. Regardless of how efficient two-dimensional maps are, three-dimensional interactive maps offer significant improvements and benefits over their traditional counterparts. While the enabling technologies for three-dimensional (3D) mapping have been ready for some time, and the benefits are significant, one might expect that a wide adoption of threedimensional maps should already be happening. However, for some reason, the transition to 3D cartography is not happening as quickly and effectively, as would be allowed by the technological and social conditioning. In this work we discuss three-dimensional interactive maps in depth from both the theoretical and practical perspective, as well as show the benefits for a number of applications, and identify some of the factors that inhibit their popularization. We define 3D maps and threedimensional cartography, and discuss its relations with the broader discipline of geovisualization. We demonstrate that more 3D cartographic research would benefit users of maps, as well as those of GIS and geovisualization products. Three-dimensional maps are such a broad subject, and they encompass so many different things, that hard definitions are difficult. That is why we use a technical description and propose a set of functional factors that differentiate, describe and define threedimensional maps, instead of trying to provide a single narrow definition. We also discuss and validate various cartographic, functional, practical and technical aspects of three-dimensional maps, by a practical exercise of implementation of a 3D mapping platform. The platform developed, called the 3D Map Viewer, is used to demonstrate the usefulness of 3D maps, and discuss a number of applications where they offer benefits over the existing approaches. By applying our platform to different tasks we also prove that efficient 3D mapping products may be built today, without a need for further technological progress. We believe that the adoption of 3D cartography would benefit a widerange of users, and that it has a potential to stimulate progress in numerous disciplines of business, life and science. It is our objective to contribute to widespread recognition of three-dimensional maps’ usefulness, and to adhere to their continued development and popularization.

The quantum Hall (QH) system---cold electrons in two dimensions in a perpendicular magnetic field---is a striking example of a system where unexpected phenomena emerge at low energies. The low-energy physics of this system is effectively one-dimensional due to the magnetic field. We identify an exactly solvable limit of this interacting many-body problem, and provide strong evidence that its solutions are adiabatically connected to the observed QH states in a similar manner as the free electron gas is related to real interacting fermions in a metal according to Landau's Fermi liquid theory. The solvable limit corresponds to the electron gas on a thin torus. Here the ground states are gapped periodic crystals and the fractionally charged excitations appear as domain walls between degenerate ground states. The fractal structure of the abelian Haldane-Halperin hierarchy is manifest for generic two-body interactions. By minimizing a local k+1-body interaction we obtain a representation of the non-abelian Read-Rezayi states, where the domain wall patterns encode the fusion rules of the underlying conformal field theory. We provide extensive analytical and numerical evidence that the Laughlin/Jain states are continuously connected to the exact solutions. For more general hierarchical states we exploit the intriguing connection to conformal field theory and construct wave functions that coincide with the exact ones in the solvable limit. If correct, this construction implies the adiabatic continuation of the pertinent states. We provide some numerical support for this scenario at the recently observed fraction 4/11. Non-QH phases are separated from the thin torus by a phase transition. At half-filling, this leads to a Luttinger liquid of neutral dipoles which provides an explicit microscopic example of how weakly interacting quasiparticles in a reduced (zero) magnetic field emerge at low energies. We argue that this is also smoothly connected to the bulk state.

A methodology for 2D and 3D collision free path planning algorithm in a structured environment is presented. The isolated free convex areas are represented as a nodes in a graph, and a graph traversal strategy that dynamically allocates costs to graph path is used. Modification of the algorithm for small computational time and optimality is discussed. The 3D path planning is done in the three orthogonal two-dimensional projections of a 3D environment. Collision checking to increase the optimality for 3D paths is done in each of the three orthogonal two-dimensional subspaces.

The GLuskap system for interactive three-dimensional graph drawing applies techniques of scientific visualization and interactive systems to the construction, display, and analysis of graph drawings. Important features of the system include support for large-screen stereographic 3D display with immersive head-tracking and motion-tracked interactive 3D wand control. A distributed rendering architecture contributes to the portability of the system, with user control performed on a laptop computer without specialized graphics hardware. An interface for implementing graph drawing layout and analysis algorithms in the Python programming language is also provided. This thesis describes comprehensively the work on the system by the author—this work includes the design and implementation of the major features described above. Further directions for continued development and research in cognitive tools for graph drawing research are also suggested.<br>viii, 110 leaves : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm.

In this Dissertation thesis the spectral theory of Schrödinger operators modeling quasicrystals in dimension one ist investigated. We allow for a large class of measures as potentials covering also point interactions. The main results can be stated as follows: If the potential can be very well approximated by periodic potentials, then the correspondig Schrödinger operator does not have any eigenvalues. If the potential is aperiodic and satisfies a certain finite local complexity condition, the absolutely continuous spectrum is absent. We also prove Cantor spectra of zero Lebesgue measure for a large class of (a randomized version of) the operator.

In the past three decades, quasi-low-dimensional organic materials have attracted intense interests, both experimentally and theoretically. Due to their reduced dimensionality and relatively low carrier concentration, many organic materials exhibit strong electron correlations and numerous instabilities of the normal metallic state. The energy scales of such instabilities are often so low that the ground states can be changed by applying a reasonably strong magnetic field. Therefore, magnetic field is an effective tool for the study of quasi-low-dimensional organic materials. In this thesis, we will investigate two of these magnetic field related phenomena. In the first part, we will present our unified theory of angular magnetoresistance oscillations observed in organic conductors. We will demonstrate that, in spite of the absence of Landau level quantization for open Fermi surfaces in a magnetic field, a new quantum effect - Bragg reflections of electrons moving in the extended Brillouin zone - determines unusual magnetic properties of these materials. We will demonstrate that, at commensurate directions of a magnetic field, the electron motion shows 1D→2D dimensional crossover and leads to strong resistivity minima. We will present an analytic expression for interlayer resistivity, by both linear response formalism and solving the Boltzmann kinetic equation in the extended Brillouin zone. In two limiting cases, our general solution reduces to the results previously obtained for the LMA effects and LNL oscillations. We demonstrate that our theoretical results are in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the existing measurements of resistivity in (TMTSF)₂ClO₄ conductor. In the second part, we will develop a theory for the recently observed high magnetic field high resistance state in (Per)₂Pt(mnt)₂. We demonstrate that the Pauli spinsplitting effects in a magnetic field improve nesting properties of a realistic quasi-onedimensional electron spectrum. As a result, a high resistance Peierls charge-density wave (CDW) phase is stabilized in high enough magnetic fields in (Per)₂Pt(mnt)₂ conductor. We show that, in low and very high magnetic fields, the Pauli spin-splitting effects lead to a stabilization of a soliton wall superlattice (SWS) CDW phase, which is characterized by periodically arranged soliton and anti-soliton walls. We suggest experimental studies of the predicted first order phase transitions between the Peierls and SWS phases to discover a unique SWS phase. It is important that, in the absence of a magnetic field and in a limit of very high magnetic fields, the suggested model is equivalent to the exactly solvable model of Brazovskii, Dzyaloshinskii, and Kirova.
