Algèbre d'Askey–Wilson, centralisateurs et fonctions spéciales (bi)orthogonales
Full text linkCette thèse est divisée en quatre parties qui portent sur les centralisateurs des algèbres quantiques , les polynômes biorthogonaux avec propriétés bispectrales, les polynômes bivariés de Griffiths, et les schémas d'association avec structures polynomiales bivariées. Le fil conducteur principal entre ces parties est l'algèbre d'Askey–Wilson.
Dans la première partie, l'idée principale est de combiner l'algèbre du groupe des tresses avec l'algèbre d'Askey–Wilson dans des situations qui impliquent les centralisateurs de . Ainsi, on obtient des représentations du groupe des tresses en termes de polynômes orthogonaux de -Racah par le biais de matrices de , on obtient une interprétation de l'algèbre d'Askey–Wilson dans le cadre de la théorie topologique des champs de Chern–Simons avec groupe de jauge ainsi que dans le cadre des invariants d'entrelacs associés à , et on offre une description algébrique complète du centralisateur de dans un produit tensoriel de trois représentations irréductibles identiques de spin quelconque. Dans une optique différente, on offre aussi une présentation algébrique de certaines algèbres de Hecke fusionnées qui décrivent des centralisateurs de .
Dans la deuxième partie, on étudie deux familles de polynômes biorthogonaux par des méthodes algébriques, offrant une extension du tableau qui existe pour les polynômes orthogonaux classiques de type Askey–Wilson. Les deux familles considérées sont les polynômes de type Hahn et les polynômes de Pastro. Dans les deux cas, l'idée est d'introduire un triplet d'opérateurs ayant une action tridiagonale et d'obtenir les polynômes comme solutions à deux problèmes aux valeurs propres généralisés provenant de ce triplet. On trouve les propriétés de bispectralité et de biorthogonalité des polynômes en se servant des opérateurs du triplet, et on détermine l'algèbre réalisée par les opérateurs.
Dans la troisième partie, on caractérise deux familles de polynômes bivariés de Griffiths. La première famille est une généralisation des polynômes de Griffiths de type Krawtchouk qui dépend d'un paramètre . On trouve leurs relations de bispectralité et leur biorthogonalité en utilisant les propriétés des polynômes de Krawtchouk à une variable. Les relations de contiguïté des polynômes univariés jouent un rôle essentiel dans les calculs. On utilise des méthodes semblables pour caractériser la deuxième famille, qui est formée de polynômes de Griffiths de type Racah. Ceux-ci sont orthogonaux.
Dans la quatrième partie, on propose une généralisation bivariée des propriétés - et -polynomiales pour les schémas d'association et de concepts reliés. Plusieurs exemples de schémas vérifiant la propriété -polynomiale bivariée sont obtenus. On montre que les schémas de Johnson non-binaires ainsi que leurs analogues -déformés, les schémas définis à partir d'espaces atténués, sont - et -polynomiaux bivariés en étudiant les propriétés bispectrales des polynômes bivariés associés. Les structures algébriques reliées à ces schémas sont explorées. On propose aussi une généralisation multivariée des graphes distance-réguliers, et on montre que ceux-ci sont en correspondance avec des schémas -polynomiaux multivariés. Finalement, on étudie une sous-classe de paires de Leonard de rang 2 qui font intervenir des polynômes bivariés factorisés.This thesis is divided in four parts concerning centralizers of quantum algebras ,
biorthogonal polynomials with bispectral properties, bivariate Griffiths polynomials, and association schemes with bivariate polynomial structures. The main topic relating all these parts is the Askey–Wilson algebra.
In the first part, the main idea is to combine the braid group algebra with the Askey–Wilson algebra in situations involving the centralizers of the quantum algebra . Hence, we obtain representations of the braid group in terms of -Racah orthogonal polynomials using -matrices of , we obtain an interpretation of the Askey–Wilson algebra in the framework of Chern–Simons topological quantum field theory with gauge field as well as in the framework of link invariants associated to , and we provide a complete algebraic description of the centralizer of in the tensor product of three identical irreducible representations of any spin. In a different perspective, we also provide an algebraic presentation of some fused Hecke algebras, which describe some centralizers of .
In the second part, we study two families of biorthogonal polynomials using algebraic methods, hence extending the picture that exists for the classical orthogonal polynomials of the Askey–Wilson type. The two families that we consider are the polynomials of Hahn type and the Pastro polynomials. In both cases, the idea is to introduce a triplet of operators with tridiagonal actions and obtain the polynomials as solutions of two generalized eigenvalue problems involving this triplet. We find the bispectrality and biorthogonality properties of the polynomials using the operators of the triplet, and we determine the algebra realized by the operators.
In the third part, we characterize two families of bivariate Griffiths polynomials. The first family is a generalization of the Griffiths polynomials of Krawtchouk type which depends on a parameter . We find their bispectrality relations and their biorthogonality by using the properties of univariate Krawtchouk polynomials. The contiguity relations of the univariate polynomials play a key role in the computations. We use similar methods to characterize the second family, which is formed by Griffiths polynomials of Racah type. These are orthogonal.
In the fourth part, we propose a bivariate generalization of the - and -polynomial properties of association schemes and related concepts. Several examples of schemes satisfying the bivariate -polynomial property are obtained. We show that the non-binary Johnson schemes and their -deformed analogs, the schemes based on attenuated spaces, are bivariate - and -polynomial by studying the bispectral properties of the associated bivariate polynomials. The algebraic structures related to these schemes are explored. We also propose a multivariate generalization of distance-regular graphs, and we show that these are in correspondence with multivariate -polynomial schemes. Finally, we study a subclass of rank 2 Leonard pairs involving factorized bivariate polynomials
Algèbres de Temperley-Lieb, Birman-Murakami-Wenzl et Askey-Wilson, et autres centralisateurs de U_q(sl_2)
Full text linkMémoire par articles.Ce mémoire contient trois articles reliés par l'idée sous-jacente d'une généralisation de la dualité de Schur-Weyl. L'objectif principal est d'obtenir une description algébrique du centralisateur de l'image de l'action diagonale de U_q(sl_2) dans le produit tensoriel de trois représentations irréductibles, lorsque q n'est pas une racine de l'unité. La relation entre une algèbre de Askey-Wilson étendue AW(3) et ce centralisateur est examinée à cet effet. Dans le premier article, les éléments du centralisateur de l'action de U_q(sl_2) dans son produit tensoriel triple sont définis à l'aide de la matrice R universelle de U_q(sl_2). Il est montré que ces éléments respectent les relations définissantes de AW(3). Dans le deuxième article, la matrice R universelle de la superalgèbre de Lie osp(1|2) est utilisée de manière similaire avec l'algèbre de Bannai-Ito BI(3). Dans ce cas, le formalisme de la matrice R permet de définir l'algèbre de Bannai-Ito de rang supérieur BI(n) comme le centralisateur de l'action de osp(1|2) dans son produit tensoriel n-fois. Le troisième article propose une conjecture qui établit un isomorphisme entre un quotient de AW(3) et le centralisateur de l'image de l'action diagonale de U_q(sl_2) dans le produit tensoriel de trois représentations irréductibles quelconques. La conjecture est prouvée pour plusieurs cas, et les algèbres de Temperley-Lieb, Birman-Murakami-Wenzl et Temperley-Lieb à une frontière sont retrouvées comme quotients de l'algèbre de Askey-Wilson.This master thesis contains three articles related by the underlying idea of a generalization of the Schur-Weyl duality. The main objective is to obtain an algebraic description of the centralizer of the image of the diagonal action of U_q(sl_2) in the tensor product of three irreducible representations, when q is not a root of unity. The connection between a centrally extended Askey-Wilson algebra AW(3) and this centralizer is examined for this purpose. In the first article, the elements of the centralizer of the action of U_q(sl_2) in its threefold tensor product are defined with the help of the universal R-matrix of U_q(sl_2). These elements are shown to satisfy the defining relations of AW(3). In the second article, the universal R-matrix of the Lie superalgebra osp(1|2) is used in a similar fashion with the Bannai-Ito algebra BI(3). In this case, the formalism of the R-matrix allows to define the higher rank Bannai-Ito algebra BI(n) as the centralizer of the action of osp(1|2) in its n-fold tensor product. The third article proposes a conjecture that establishes an isomorphism between a quotient of AW(3) and the centralizer of the image of the diagonal action of U_q(sl_2) in the tensor product of any three irreducible representations. The conjecture is proved for several cases, and the Temperley-Lieb, Birman-Murakami-Wenzl and one-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebras are recovered as quotients of the Askey-Wilson algebra
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Factorized -Leonard pair
Full text linkThe notion of factorized -Leonard pair is introduced. It is defined as a
rank 2 Leonard pair, with actions in certain bases corresponding to the root
system of the Weyl group , and with some additional properties. The
functions arising as entries of transition matrices are bivariate orthogonal
polynomials (of Tratnik type) with bispectral properties. Examples of
factorized -Leonard pairs are constructed using classical Leonard pairs
associated to families of orthogonal polynomials of the (-)Askey scheme. The
most general examples are associated to an intricate product of univariate
(-)Hahn and dual (-)Hahn polynomials.Comment: 33 page
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
