Representations of Special Compact Linear Groups of Order Two : Construction, Representation Growth, Group Algebras and Branching Laws
Let o be the ring of integers of a non-Archimedean local field such that the residue field has characteristic p: Let p be the maximal ideal of o: For Char¹oº = 0; let e be the ramification index of o: i.e., 2o = pe: Let ... -
Risk-Sensitive Stochastic Control and Differential Games
This thesis studies risk-sensitive stochastic optimal control and differential game problems. First, we study risk-sensitive stochastic differential games for controlled reflecting diffusion processes in a smooth bounded ... -
Sculpting colloidal membranes through phase transformations
Shaping macroscopic 2-D thin elastic sheets through differential strains in the system is a widely studied phenomenon applicable in diverse areas such as flexible electronics, origami and tissue growth. In contrast, at the ... -
Some results on Spectral spaces and Spectral sequences
This thesis is made up of two independent parts. We begin the first part by showing that the collection of all prime ideals of a monoid or, in other words, the spectrum of a commutative monoid, endowed with the Zariski ... -
Spectro-temporal signatures of accretion flows around Galactic Black Holes
A system of two stars in which one is a black hole (BH) is referred to as a black hole binary (BHB). In a BHB, it is possible to have mass transfer from the secondary star (companion star) to the primary black hole. ... -
Studies on thick-GEM UV Photon Detector
Large area photodetectors with single photon counting ability motivates to develop gaseous photomultiplier (GPM), that combine thin film photocathode with electron multipliers for efficient detection of UV photon. This ... -
A Study of the Low-Energy Spectrum and Phase Structure of a Yang-Mills Matrix Model
Yang-Mills theory is a non-Abelian gauge theory based on the gauge group SU(N), and lies at the heart of the QCD, the theory underlying strong interactions. Due to the fundamental property of asymptotic freedom, a study ... -
Surface Adsorption of Dendrimers: Structure, Interactions at Graphene/Water Interface and Applications in Supercapacitors
The study of structure and dynamics of geometrically con ned polymers has been an interesting topic of research. In this thesis we speci cally studied the adsorption behavior of a hyper-branched polymer called poly(amidoamine) ... -
Synthesis, Characterisation and Optimisation of ZnO Thin film & Nanowire array for Dynamic Pressure Sensing Application
Piezoelectric technology based dynamic pressure sensors are widely used for the measurement of rapid pressure variations with respect to time. Quartz is the piezoelectric material ruling the dynamic pressure sensor industry ... -
Taming Electrons in 2D Materials: Influence of Substrates, Defects and Moire Superlattices
Two-dimensional materials have been extensively studied in the last decade owing to the rich physics at reduced dimensions and their applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Controlled modifi cation of electronic ... -
Thermal and Non-thermal Processes in Young Star clusters
Massive stars are energetic sources of radiation and stellar wind. They are mostly born together in dense cold clouds in the interstellar medium (ISM). Regions in the ISM that are densely populated by stars are known as ... -
Thermodynamics and Statistical mechanics of loops: A Monte Carlo study
Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of Multi-colored Loop models in three dimensions: A Monte-Carlo study. Soumya Kanti Ganguly Department of Physics. ABSTRACT A perfectly crystalline solid is a regular ... -
Ultrafast Study of Layered 3D Topological Insulators, Graphene-Gold Hybrid Plasmonic Nanostructure and Ultrathin Gold Nanowires
In a typical time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy, ultrafast laser pulses (pulse width ~ 100 fs) are utilized to induce a perturbation in the material of study within a time much shorter than the characterisitic lifetime ...
