In the first part of this thesis, we prove Ramanujan's formulas for the coefficients in the power series expansions of certain modular forms. We prove his formulas for the coefficients of 1/$E\sb4, E\sb4/E\sb6$ and other ...

The focus of the first part of the thesis commences with an examination of two pages in Ramanujan's lost notebook, pages 336 and 335. A casual, or even more prolonged, examination of the strange formulas on these pages ...

In this dissertation, we study three problems about Ramsey theory. First, we prove a self-dual Ramsey theorem for parameter systems which is a generalization of the self-dual Ramsey theorem developed by Solecki. Second, ...

Given an adapted probability measure on a locally compact group, there are a variety of support conditions which cause the concentration functions to go to zero. This work discusses the rate of this decay under many such ...

Let F$\sb{n,m}$ denote the set of all real forms of degree m in n variables. In 1888, Hilbert proved that a form P $\in$ F$\sb{n,m}$ which is positive semidefinite (psd) must have a representation as a sum of squares (sos) ...

Although the 'Inductive' form of Dade's conjecture must be verified for all finite, non-abelian, simple groups G, for most such G it suffices to verify a simpler form of the conjecture. In this thesis we will introduce ...

Suppose $f(x,y)$ is a binary form of degree $d$ with coefficients in a field $K \subseteq \cc$. The {\it $K$-rank of $f$} is the smallest number of $d$-th powers of linear forms over $K$ of which $f$ is a $K$-linear ...

This thesis builds on the recently begun extension of continuum thermomechanics to fractal media which are specified by a fractional mass scaling law of the resolution length scale R. The focus is on pre-fractal media ...
