The Role Of Potential Theory In Complex Dynamics
(2014-04-07)Potential theory is the name given to the broad field of analysis encompassing such topics as harmonic and subharmonic functions, the Dirichlet problem, Green’s functions, potentials and capacity. In this text, our main ... -
Joint Eigenfunctions On The Heisenberg Group And Support Theorems On Rn
(2014-04-07)This work is concerned with two different problems in harmonic analysis, one on the Heisenberg group and other on Rn, as described in the following two paragraphs respectively. Let Hn be the (2n + 1)-dimensional Heisenberg ... -
Relative Symplectic Caps, Fibered Knots And 4-Genus
(2014-04-07)The 4-genus of a knot in S3 is an important measure of complexity, related to the unknotting number. A fundamental result used to study the 4-genus and related invariants of homology classes is the Thom conjecture, proved ... -
Curvature Calculations Of The Operators In Cowen-Douglas Class
(2014-03-03)In a foundational paper “Operators Possesing an Open Set of Eigenvalues” written several decades ago, Cowen and Douglas showed that an operator T on a Hilbert space ‘H possessing an open set Ω C of eigenvalues determines ... -
Charge Transport In Conducting Polymers, Polymer-Carbon Nanotube Composites And Devices
(2014-02-26)The Thesis reports charge transport studies on conducting polymers, polymer carbon nanotube composites and organic semiconductor devices. Conducting and semiconducting polymers consisting of π-conjugated chains have ... -
Ultrafast Response And Time Resolved Spectroscopy Of Carbon Nanotubes, Semiconductors And Rare-Earth Titanates Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses
(2013-10-21)In this thesis, experimental studies are reported of ultrafast dynamics and third order optical nonlinear coefficients of carbon nanotubes, and time resolved coherent phonon dynamics of semiconductors and rare earth ... -
Observational Aspects Of Core Collapse Supernovae
(2013-10-17)The discovery of several bright supernovae (SNe) in recent years has evoked a great deal of interest in these objects. The study of these objects are of importance not only as probes to the end stages of stellar evolution, ... -
Studies Of Diffuse Ultraviolet Radiation
(2013-10-07)Ever since the first observations of diffuse ultraviolet radiation by Hayakawa et al. (1969) and Lillie & Witt (1976), there has been an effort to understand its distribution and its origin. Unfortunately, because of the ... -
Origin Of The Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background
(2013-10-01)It is evident that the origin of EGRB is not well established. In this thesis I examine the unresolved discrete origin of EGRB. The contribution from normal galaxies, starburst galaxies and AGNs to the EGRB is examined. ... -
Phonon Anomalies And Phase Transitions In Pyrochlore Titanates, Boron Nitride Nanotubes And Multiferroic BiFeO3 : Temperature- And Pressure-Dependent Raman Studies
(2013-09-13)This thesis presents experimental and related theoretical studies of pyrochlore titanate oxides, boron nitride nanotubes, and multiferroic bismuth ferrite. We have investigated these systems at high pressures and at low ... -
Axially Symmetric Equivalents Of Three-Dimensional Rf Ion Traps
(2013-09-13)This thesis presents axially symmetric equivalents of three-dimensional rf ion traps. Miniaturization in mass spectrometry has focused on miniaturizing mass analyzers. Decrease in mass analyzer size facilitates reduction ... -
Ion Assisted Deposition Of HfO2 Thin Films For CMOS Gate Dielectric Applications
(2013-09-13)The scaling down of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) transistors to sub-100nm requires replacement of conventional Silicon dioxide layer with high dielectric constant (K) material for gate dielectric. Among ... -
A Study Of The Metric Induced By The Robin Function
(2013-09-13)Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in Cn , n> 1. For each point p _ D, we have the Green function G(z, p) associated to the standard sum-of-squares Laplacian Δ with pole at p and the Robin constant __ Λ(p) = lim G(z, p) ... -

Dilations, Functoinal Model And A Complete Unitary Invariant Of A r-contraction.
(2013-08-02)A pair of commuting bounded operators (S, P) for which the set r = {(z 1 +z 2,z 1z 2) : |z 1| ≤1, |z 2| ≤1} C2 is a spectral set, is called a r-contraction in the literature. For a contraction P and a bounded commutant ...
