  • A PRIMER FOR THE FOUNDATIONS OF ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY 

    Hampton, Earl F. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    The purpose of this thesis is to define the basic objects of study in algebraic geometry, namely, schemes and quasicoherent sheaves over schemes. We start by discussing algebraic sets as common zeros of polynomials and ...
  • Random Walks on Finite Fields and Heisenberg Groups 

    Zhu, Yi (East Carolina University, 2011)
    Let H be a finite group and [mu] a probability measure on H. This data determines an invariant random walk on H beginning from the identity element. The probability distribution for the state of the random walk after n ...
