Annihilating Ideals Of Quadratic Forms Over Local And Global Fields

We study annihilating polynomials and annihilating ideals for elements of Witt rings for groups of exponent 2. With the help of these results and certain calculations involving the Clifford invariant, we are able to give full sets of generators for the ann ...

Arithmetic Bounds-Lenstra's Constant and Torsion of K-Groups

Julien Houriet

This thesis is concerned with computations of bounds for two different arithmetic invariants. In both cases it is done with the intention of proving some algebraic or arithmetic properties for number fields. The first part is devoted to computations of low ...

Annihilating Polynomials for Quadratic Forms

Klaas-Tido Rühl

Let K be a field with char(K) ≠ 2. The Witt-Grothendieck ring (K) and the Witt ring W (K) of K are both quotients of the group ring ℤ[𝓖(K)], where 𝓖(K) := K*/(K*)2 is the square class group of K. Since ℤ[𝓖(K)] is integra ...

Annihilating polynomials of excellent quadratic forms

If phi is an excellent form, then it is possible to use the dimensions of the higher complements of phi to obtain an annihilating polynomial of phi of low degree. The main result of this paper is the construction of such a polynomial with the help of metho ...

Minimum euclidien des ordres maximaux dans les algèbres centrales à division

Jérôme Chaubert

This work concerns the study of Euclidean minima of maximal orders in central simple algebras. In the first part, we define the concept of ideal lattice in the non-commutative case. Let A be a semi-simple algebra over Q. An ideal lattice over A is a triple ...

Optimal water allocation for an alpine hydropower system under changing scenarios

Paolo Perona

The operating rules of water allocation in the alpine OFIMA hydropower network of the Maggia River basin (Canton Tessin, Switzerland) are investigated in response to changes in the production policy and environmental and climatic factors. The study was car ...

Upper bounds for Euclidean minima of algebraic number fields

Eva Bayer Fluckiger

The aim of this paper is to give new upper bounds for Euclidean minima of algebraic number fields. In particular, to show that Minkowski's conjecture holds for the maximal totally real subfields of cyclotomic fields of prime power conductor. ...

Réseaux idéaux sur des corps CM et des corps totalement réels

Ivan Suarez Atias

This thesis deals with the study of ideal lattices over number fields. Let K be a number field, which is assumed to be CM or totally real. An ideal lattice over K is a pair (I,b), where I is a fractional ideal of K and b : I × I → R is a symmetric positive ...

Algebraic methods for channel coding

Frédérique Oggier

This work is dedicated to developing algebraic methods for channel coding. Its goal is to show that in different contexts, namely single-antenna Rayleigh fading channels, coherent and non-coherent MIMO channels, algebraic techniques can provide useful tool ...

Perturbation bounds for isotropic invariant subspaces of skew-Hamiltonian matrices

Daniel Kressner

We investigate the behavior of isotropic invariant subspaces of skew-Hamiltonian matrices under structured perturbations. It is shown that finding a nearby subspace is equivalent to solving a certain quadratic matrix equation. This connection is used to de ...
