    Theory and computation of multiscale epithelial mechanics : from active gels to vertex models 

    Ouzeri, Adam Amine (Date of defense: 2023-06-14)

    (English) Epithelial monolayers perform a variety of mechanical functions, which include maintaining a cohesive barrier or developing 3D shapes, while undergoing stretches over a wide range of magnitudes and loading rates. ...

    Theta correspondences and arithmetic intersections 

    Gutiérrez Terradillos, Armando (Date of defense: 2023-05-26)

    (English) The thesis is mainly divided into two parts. In essence, the first one is an extension of the paper [Ter22]. Using the regularized Siege-Weil formula of [GQT14] we obtain an explicit expression for the truncated ...

    Theta-duality in abelian varieties and the bicanonical map of irregular varieties 

    Lahoz Vilalta, Marti (Date of defense: 2010-05-18)

    The first goal of this Thesis is to contribute to the study of principally polarized abelian varieties (ppav), especially to the Schottky and the Torelli problems. Ppav admit a duality theory analogous to that of projective ...

    Threshold phenomena involving the connected components of random graphs and digraphs 

    Coulson, Matthew John (Date of defense: 2021-12-13)

    We consider some models of random graphs and directed graphs and investigate their behavior near thresholds for the appearance of certain types of connected components. Firstly, we look at the critical window for the ...

    Unstable motions in the three body problem 

    Paradela Díaz, Jaime (Date of defense: 2023-06-30)

    (English) The 3 Body Problem (3BP) models the motion of three bodies interacting via Newtonian gravitation. It is called restricted when one body has zero mass and the other two, the primaries, have strictly positive masses. ...
