Numerical Methods for Optimal Transport and Elastic Shape Optimization
(2019-12-06)
In this thesis, we consider a novel unbalanced optimal transport model incorporating singular sources, we develop a numerical computation scheme for an optimal transport distance on graphs, we propose a simultaneous elastic ...
Functional Inequalities and Heat Kernel Asymptotics on Some Classes of Singular Riemannian Manifolds
(2019-11-13)
This thesis consists of two parts.
In the first part we are focusing on stratified pseudomanifolds equipped with an iterated edge metric. More specifically, in Chapter 1 we give the basic definitions and review some ...

Renormalisation in discrete elasticity
(2019-10-10)
This thesis deals with the statistical mechanics of lattice models. It has two main contributions. On the one hand we implement a general framework for a rigorous renormalisation group approach to gradient models. This ...
Open Topological Field Theories and 2-Segal Objects
(2019-10-17)
In this thesis we analyze 2-dimensional open topological field theories in both 1-categorical and ∞-categorical contexts. Making use of the formalism, introduced by Dyckerhoff and Kapranov, of graphs structured over a ......
Small embeddings, forcing with side conditions, and large cardinal characterizations
(2019-09-26)
In this thesis, we provide new characterizations for several well-studied large cardinal notions. These characterizations will be of two types. Motivated by seminal work of Magidor, the first type characterizes large ...
Statistical mechanics of gradient models
(2019-07-18)
In this thesis, we consider gradient models on the d-dimensional discrete lattice. These models serve as effective models for interfaces and are also known as continuous Ising models . The height of the interface is modelled ......
KPZ universality for last passage percolation models
(2019-09-12)
In this thesis we consider models of last passage percolation on the ℤ2. These models belong to the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang universality class, a class of stochastic growth models that have been widely studied ...
Moduli spaces of K3 surfaces and cubic fourfolds
(2019-11-14)
This thesis is concerned with the Hodge-theoretic relation between polarized K3 surfaces of degree d and special cubic fourfolds of discriminant d, as introduced by Hassett.
For half of the d, K3 surfaces associated ......

On discrete surfaces: Enumerative geometry, matrix models and universality classes via topological recursion
(2019-03-21)
The main objects under consideration in this thesis are called maps, a certain class of graphs embedded on surfaces. We approach our study of these objects from different perspectives, namely bijective combinatorics, matrix ...
Scalable parallel simulation of variably saturated flow
(2019-03-19)
In this thesis we develop highly accurate simulation tools for variably saturated flow through porous media able to take advantage of the latest supercomputing resources. Hence, we aim for parallel scalability to very large ...
