This was discussed before but that discussion is outdated. Tags related to a specific person are generally bad. (This is not the same as specific topics named after a person, e.g. Galois theory is not really about Évariste Galois.) Some exceptions can still make sense, Paul Erdős is certainly a ...
Let $G = \mathrm{GL}_n(F)$ where $F$ = non-archimedean local field. The Langlands Classification tells one that all irreducible admissible reps of $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)$ can be realized as (the unique irreducible) quotient of a parabolicly induced representation. In particular, if one takes a (multip...
$\def\FF{\mathbb{F}}\def\CC{\mathbb{C}}\def\QQ{\mathbb{Q}}\def\Sp{\text{Sp}}\def\SL{\text{SL}}\def\GL{\text{GL}}\def\PGL{\text{PGL}}$Let $p$ be an odd prime. The Weil representation is a $p^k$-dimensional complex representation of $\Sp_{2k}(\FF_p)$. If you read most descriptions of the Weil repre...
I am searching for an interesting masters thesis topic connecting mathematics and mechanical engineering. Perhaps statistics and mechanical engineering. Any good ideas?
With the flavour of this question: Which journals publish expository work?, I would like to ask the following question Which journals publish Ph.D. thesis abstracts? Please post one resource per answer so that it is easy for people to sort the list by voting up/down.
The question is self-explanatory, but I want to make some remarks in order to prevent the responses from going off into undesirable directions. It seems that every few years I hear someone ask this question; it seems to hold a perennial fascination for research mathematicians, just as quests for...
Sometime ago I read somewhere (and I don't remember where it was) that Stefan Banach--a highly creative and great mathematician--did not always write down his ideas. Allegedly, he did not write his own thesis (but of course, all the mathematics in it came from him). Is that true? And is it known ...
I want to learn Multi dimensional symbolic dynamics. can you point to any recent thesis containing a good exposition or lecture notes?
I'm undergraduate student and I'm thinking of doing my graduation thesis on some of Prof. Gowers work on Banach Spaces. It is not required to produce an original result in my thesis, I'm only asked to read some papers, understand them and write a new one which explains those papers and summarize ...
Note: My first question in this site. MSE users asked me to post this question here for better response I am a Masters student in Pure Mathematics. I need to do a Masters thesis in "Linear Algebra in Graph Theory" where I will have to publish some original work in our Departmental Journal mean...
I search for a big list of open problems which have been solved in a PhD thesis by the Author of the thesis (or with collaboration of her/his supervisor). In my question I search for every possible open problem but I prefer (but not limited) to receive answers about those open problems which ha...
I am interested in how to select interesting yet reasonable problems for students to work on, either at Honours (that is, a research-based single year immediately after a degree) or PhD. By this I mean a problem that is unsolved but for which there is a good chance that a student can solve it e...
See update below. This is borderline off-topic (certainly not a research question), but the rather successful story of a similar question gives me hope. The Bayreuther Mathematische Schriften were a periodical published by the University of Bayreuth from 1979 till 2011, and included research pape...
It seems that there is no digital copy of Leon Karp's Ph.D. thesis L. Karp, Vector fields on manifolds, Thesis, New York Univ., 1976. on internet and his paper excerpted from his thesis is very brief and without any detailed proof. (I wonder that peers read the thesis or they trust to the advisor...
I am currently working on my undergraduate thesis, and my adviser suggested that I look into a Polyhedral Active Set Algorithm (PASA) for my paper. I have been trying to find resources/materials on it online, but most of the papers I have seen and read unfortunately seem to be accessible only to ...
The diamond lemma has recently come up in my teaching, and as always I've been looking for nice and simple applications. This has reminded me of the thesis Kimmo Eriksson, Strongly convergent games and Coxeter groups, KTH Stockholm 1993, which I have never been able to locate despite the existenc...
