Decay widths from Euclidean quantum field theory a scalar model and applications to QCD
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2009)Lüscher provided a method by which the Euclidean correlation function, used in lattice field theories, can be used to evaluate the scattering phase shift, side-stepping the Maiani-Testa Theorem. This result is explored in ... -
Methods of ascent and descent in multivariable spectral theory
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2009)In this dissertation the theory of ascent and descent for a linear operator acting on a vector space is extended to arbitrary sets of operators and applied to the study of joint spectra for finite commuting systems of bounded ... -
A non-perturbative study of the renormalisation of action parameters in anisotropic lattice QCD with applications to finite temperature QCD
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2009)The advantages of using anisotropic lattices, instead of the more usual isotropic lattices, in QCD simulations are well estabhshed. Anisotropic lattices can be used to increase signal resolution and allow computational ... -
Yang-Mills instantons on the taub-NUT space and supersymmetric N=2 gauge theories with impurities
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2010)We write a formula for arbitrary charge calorons, instantons on R3 x S1, in terms of the Green's function of the Laplacian defined for the Nahm Transform, thus generalising the formula for the charge one caloron derived ... -
Sigma models of the AdS/CFT correspondence
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2011)The thesis is dedieated to the investigation of the properties of particular two-dimensional quantum field theories, i.e. sigma-models with target space of the form AdS5 x S5γ and AdS4 x CP3. The main results of the thesis ... -
Efficient coding of sensory stimuli
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2011)An important goal of mathematical neuroscience is to understand the coding principles governing the behaviour of sensory systems under stimulation. Here, we investigate the theory of efficient coding in nenral sensory ... -
Ranges of bimodule projections and conditional expectations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2011)The algebraic theory of comer subrings introduced by Lam (as an abstraction of the properties of Peirce corners eRe of a ring R associated with an idempotent e E R) are investigated here in the context of Banach and ... -
A geometrical approach to spike train noise
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2012)Mathematically, spike trains are elusive processes. They encode information, although how this information is contained in a spike train is still not clear. Same-stimulus spike trains display structural similarities, yet ... -
Resonances and lattice field theory
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2012)In this thesis, we look at the extraction of resonance parameters in lattice field theory. In particular we detail two major methods of dealing with resonances and consider them in a perturbative and nonpertnrbative ... -
Free Field Representation and Form Factors of the Chiral Gross-Neveu Model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2013)The process of using the free field representation to construct form factors of two dimensional integrable models is very promising. In this thesis, this procedure is analysed and adapted for application to the chiral ... -
Integrable lattice models for strongly correlated electrons
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2013)This thesis is dedicated to the study of a new family of integrable lattice models for strongly correlated electrons, namely the Hubbard- Shastry models. The techniques of exactly solvable models, and in particular those ... -
CR Singularities in condimension 2
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2013)In this thesis we study the real submanifolds of codimension 2 in a complex manifold near a CR singularity. The thesis has 3 chapters. In Chapter 1 we shall make a small introduction where we will remind some basic notions ... -
Spectroscopy and scattering of mesons containing charm quarks from lattice QCD
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2013)We present excited spectra of mesons containing charm-light (D), charm-strange (Ds) and charm-charm (charmoninm) combinations. We perform these spectroscopic calculations on two volumes. 16(3) X 128 and 24(3) x 128, of ... -
The radiation bound for a Klein-Gordon field on a static spherical spacetime
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2013)We establish a well-posed Cauchy problem in Minkowski (R4, η), associated with a radiating Klein-Gordon field ψ(x) = eztψ(xi), in curvature coordinates {xμ = t, p, θ,Φ} on a static spherically symmetric spacetime (M, g). ... -
Static-light-light baryons : a spectroscopic study using distillation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2013)Over the last decade, hadron spectroscopy in lattice QCD has graduated from calculating single rows of the quark propagation matrix to calculating all elements of the quark propagation matrix - the so-called all-to-all ... -
Interferometry and non-equilibrium noise in the fractional quantum Hall effect
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2014)We study theoretical aspects of fractional quantum Hall devices based on tunnelling point contacts. The fractional quantum Hall effect is the prime example of a (2 + 1) dimensional system with non-trivial topological order. ... -
CFTs on Riemann surfaces of genus g ≥ 1
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2014)The purpose of this thesis is to argue that N-point functions of holomorphic fields in rational conformal field theories can be calculated by methods from algebraic geometry. We establish explicit formulae for the 2-point ... -
Peturbative study of the Chirally Rotated Schrödinger Functionality in Lattice QCD
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2014)In this thesis we study the renormalisation and O(a) improvement of the Chirally Rotated Schrödinger Functional (xSF) in perturbation theory. The xSF was originally proposed in [1] as a way of rehabiliting the mechanism ... -
Spike train analysis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2015)This thesis focuses on the study of spike trains, the information carrying signals conveyed by neurons in the nervous system. Spiking data from songbirds from [Narayan et al., 2006] was used prominently in this thesis. ... -
Cₒ(X)-structure in C*-algebras, multiplier algebras and tensor products
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Mathematics, 2015)We begin in Chapter 2 with an introduction to the various notions of a bundle of C*-algebras that have appeared throughout the literature, and clarify the definitions of upper- and lower-semicontinuous C*-bundles not ...
