Artin L-functions associated to continuous representations of the absolute Galois group G_K of a global field K capture a lot of information about G_K as well as arithmetic properties of K.

Wanneer een fysisch systeem symmetrieën bezit gaan deze vaak gepaard met een representatie van de symmetriegroep op een Hilbertruimte. Groepsrepresentaties op Hilbertruimten zijn intensief onderzocht.

The extensive use of electronic communication channels and other devices has opened new possibilities for collecting data on human behavior. This information is sometimes openly accessible, but largely part of administrative registration systems that are not open to the broader public. The data provides…

Synthetic microswimmers take an important place within the interdisciplinary field of active soft matter.

In this thesis, we develop a novel technique called Optical Near-field Electron Microscopy (ONEM), which aims to combine the advantages of both optical and electron microscopy: the high resolution of electron microscopy and the low sample damage of optical microscopy.

The unit residue group, to which the present thesis is devoted, is defined using the norm-residue symbol, which Hilbert introduced into algebraic number theory in 1897.

Dit boek richt zich op het element van drempels – geïmproviseerde poorten, geïmproviseerde constructies en huisdeuren – als concepten van liminaliteit in magische rituelen uit het oude Nabije Oosten, en het idee van transformatie dat zij weerspiegelen.

In my research, we developed a method to distinguish knots. A knot is a mathematical depiction of the everyday knot that occurs in ropes and cords.

This thesis describes our search to identify and understand possible regulatory mechanisms of integrin α6β4 in cell-matrix adhesion and intracelular signaling.

Wetland plants are distinguished from plants of other terrestrial ecosystems by their adaptations to specific habitat stresses, including waterlogged and flooding and the subsequent abundance of phytotoxic compounds.

Acidobacteria is a widely distributed phylum but their functional roles in ecosystem processes are still largely elusive.

The main topic of this PhD thesis is the Arakelov ray class group of a number field, an algebraic object that contains both the ideal class group structure and the unit group structure.

This dissertation is a collection of four research articles devoted to the study of Kummer theory for commutative algebraic groups.

The function of TLRs in innate immunity has aroused worldwide attention soon after its discovery. Because of the broad functions of TLR2 in innate immunity, the drive for the development of TLR2-targeted vaccines or therapeutic treatments has accelerated in the last decades.

Terroristische groepen passen zich aan veranderingen in hun omgeving aan om relevant te blijven. Dit project biedt nieuwe inzichten door een theorie over strategische doelwitselectie te ontwikkelen en big data-analyse en machine learning toe te passen om de hypothesen te testen.

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are the most abundant biological entity in nature. They shape bacterial communities and are a major driving force in bacterial evolution.

If X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, then a representation of the complex C* algebra C_0(X) on a Hilbert space $H$ is given by a spectral measure that takes its values in the orthogonal projections on $H$.

Integrins play an essential role in multicellular life by connecting cells to the extracellular matrix.

This thesis covers several aspects of quantum algorithms for near-term quantum computers and its applications to quantum chemistry and material science.

The goal of the research presented in this thesis was to explore the chemical space of ruthenium(II) photocages, investigate their ability to host potent chemotherapy drugs, and to red shift the activation wavelength of the most promising PACT candidates to conduct biological studies.

The thesis focuses on synthesis strategies in oligosaccharide campaigns, and the influence of protecting groups.

Let A be a commutative algebraic group over a field K, and let G be a finitely generated subgroup of the K-rational points of A. The purpose of this thesis is to study the degrees of the Kummer extensions relative to A,K and G.

Most of current public-key cryptography is considered insecure against attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers. Post-quantum cryptography studies methods to secure information resistant against such attacks. One proposal is isogeny-based cryptography, which bases its security on computational…
