    • A commutative noncommutative fractal geometry 

      Samuel, Anthony (University of St Andrews, 2010) - Thesis
      In this thesis examples of spectral triples, which represent fractal sets, are examined and new insights into their noncommutative geometries are obtained. Firstly, starting with Connes' spectral triple for a non-empty ...

    • The lesser names : the teachers of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society and other aspects of Scottish mathematics, 1867–1946 

      Hartveit, Marit (University of St Andrews, 2011-06-22) - Thesis
      The Edinburgh Mathematical Society started out in 1883 as a society with a large proportion of teachers. Today, the member base is mainly academical and there are only a few teachers left. This thesis explores how and when ...

    • Stable and multistable processes and localisability 

      Liu, Lining (University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - Thesis
      We first review recent work on stable and multistable random processes and their localisability. Then most of the thesis concerns a new approach to these topics based on characteristic functions. Our aim is to construct ...

    • Classification and enumeration of finite semigroups 

      Distler, Andreas (University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - Thesis
      The classification of finite semigroups is difficult even for small orders because of their large number. Most finite semigroups are nilpotent of nilpotency rank 3. Formulae for their number up to isomorphism, and up ...

    • Generating uncountable transformation semigroups 

      Péresse, Yann (University of St Andrews, 2009) - Thesis
      We consider naturally occurring, uncountable transformation semigroups S and investigate the following three questions. (i) Is every countable subset F of S also a subset of a finitely generated subsemigroup of S? If so, ...
