One of the key limitations of the direct imaging of exoplanets at small angular separations are quasi-static speckles that originate from evolving non-common path aberrations (NCPA) to which the primary adaptive optics system is inherently blind. The main focus of this thesis is the development and…

Arithmetic geometry concerns the number-theoretic properties of geometric objects defined by polynomials. Mathematicians are interested in the rational solutions to these geometric objects.

Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

This thesis consists of three chapters, the first two of which concern division points of elements of the multiplicative group of a number field.

This thesis consists of three chapters. Each chapter is on a different subject. However, all three chapters address issues that arise in counting arithmetically interesting objects.

Op 11 mei 2016 ontving het Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law Robert Pickel voor de elfde Hazelhoff Guest Lecture, getiteld ‘The Deadliest Sin of the Financial Crisis’.

This thesis studies the geometry of representation varieties and character stacks. These are spaces parametrizing the representations of a finitely generated group, typically the fundamental group of a compact manifold, into an algebraic group G.

Between the early thirteenth and early sixteenth centuries CE, the Sultanate of Cairo affected the balances of power elites across and beyond the regions of Egypt, Syria and the Eastern Mediterranean. Modern historiography has for a long time been determined by the idea of this sultanate as a highly…

DNA carries various forms of information. Out of these forms of information the most well-known is classical genetic information.

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.

The aromatic infrared bands (AIBs) seen throughout the interstellar medium (ISM) are generally thought to be carried by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their nitrogen analogues (PANHs).

In this thesis, classes of strongly interacting quantum field theories, have been studied.

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

This thesis explores Breaking of Ensemble Equivalence (BEE) in random graph models by examining the spectral properties of adjacency matrices. The goal is to identify spectral characteristics that differentiate random graph ensembles, enhancing the understanding of complex network structures and beh…

Vincenzo Vitelli is per 1 juni 215 benoemd tot hoogleraar Theory of Condensed Matter.

Deze scriptie onderzoekt de complexiteit van wetsbesluiten binnen de EU, met een specifieke focus op de Raad van de EU.

Organic molecules in interstellar space are important as they influence the structure of galaxies and star formations. Studying catalytic processes in space allows us to understand how molecular species are formed and chemically evolved in the interstellar medium and solar system objects.

In this article, Jasmijn Boeken, explores in which ways the defining characteristics of the different zones can be found in the digital sphere.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

How does one become a guest author for Nobel Prize winner Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation? One of our alumni, Mariasole Forlani, can tell you all about it.

This dissertation focused on computational methods based on first principles calculations using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) framework. Emphasis was laid on affordable methods that can provide a tradeoff between computational expense and accuracy.

Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the fundamental processes of modern life, being common in industrial refinery and hydrogen vehicles, all the way to the living cell. The dissociation of H2 on Cu(111) is an important benchmark system for studying heterogeneous catalysis, with a large and varied amount…

To an algebraic curve C over the complex numbers one can associate a non-negative integer g, the genus, as a measure of its complexity.

This thesis is dedicated to the exploration of the primordial dark ages: unknown physics during the earliest stages of the Universe’s expansion that have not yet been directly probed by observations. Cosmic inflation is a burst of exponential expansion of space after the “Big Bang”.
