2. 1. Real and complex Monge-Ampère equations, statistical mechanics and canonical metrics

   Author : Jakob Hultgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistical Mechanics; Point Processes; Hessian manifolds; Kähler geometry; Optimal Transport; Canonical metrics; Complex Monge-Ampère equations; Real Monge-Ampère equations; Kähler-Einstein metrics; Statistical Mechanics;

   Abstract : Recent decades has seen a strong trend in complex geometry to study canonical metrics and the way they relate to geometric analysis, algebraic geometry and probability theory. This thesis consists of four papers each contributing to this field. The first paper sets up a probabilistic framework for real Monge-Ampère equations on tori. READ MORE

4. 2. On applications of manifest, maximal supersymmetry & U-duality

   Author : Anna Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; maximal supergravity; pure spinors; Maximal supersymmetry; loop amplitudes; U-duality; Born-Infeld theory; generalised geometry; high energy particle physics;

   Abstract : Maximal supersymmetry is made manifest through the introduction of the pure spinor formalism. In many ways, this formalism represents a powerful tool in examinations of characteristics of different theories in high energy physics, though it is far from extensively exploited. READ MORE

5. 3. Invariancy Methods for Points, Curves and Surfaces in Computational Vision

   Author : Karl Åström; Matematik LTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; curved surface; space curve; planar curve; laser guided vehicles; AGV; autonomous guided vehicles; recognition; reconstruction; image sequence; multiple view geometry; affine; invariant; projective; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Abstract : Many issues in computational vision can be understood from the interplay between camera geometry and the structure of images and objects. Typically, the image structure is available and the goal is to reconstruct object structure and camera geometry. This is often difficult due to the complex interdependence between these three entities. READ MORE

6. 4. Modelling Aspects in Forming and Welding of Nickel-Base Superalloys

   Author : Lluís Pérez Caro; Mats Oldenburg; Eva-Lis Odenberger; Juan Carlos Cante Teran; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; alloy 718; Haynes 282; cold forming; hot forming; material characterization; GISSMO; welding; heat treatment; manufacturing chain; springback; shape distortions; dynamic strain aging; DSA; microstructure; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

   Abstract : The reduction of fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are currently a key factor for the aviation industry because of major concerns about climate change and more restrictive environmental laws. One way to reduce both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions is by significantly decreasing the weight of vehicles while increasing the efficiency of the engine. READ MORE

7. 5. Guided Elastic Waves along Periodically Corrugated Structures

   Author : Ahmed M. A. El-Bahrawy; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The present thesis consider time-harmonic surface and guided elastic waves propagating along periodically corrugated structures. The problems discussed deal with various configurations where the surfaces are sinusoidally - singly or doubly - periodic, and the interest is focused on investigating the roots of the dispersion relations and in particular the stopband and cross-over resonances.
