Dissociative chemisorption is an important reaction step in many catalytic reactions.

Chapter 1,contains the numerical verification of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for hundreds of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of genus 2, 3, 4 and 5.

The work in this thesis demonstrates how to obtain an atomic-scale picture of a diverse set of complex surface structures observed using STM, under disparate conditions.

In this thesis, we address two problems concerning the tautological rings of the moduli space of curves.

Waarom spraken negentiende-eeuwse wetenschappers zo graag over toewijding, vlijt en ijver? Waarom wijdde Robert Fruin zijn oratie aan onpartijdigheid en riep Abraham Kuenen zijn studenten op tot waarheidsliefde?

Heterogeneous catalyzed processes are highly significant to the chemical industry. Dissociative chemisorption (DC) of molecules on surfaces is always considered as a step with a high degree of rate control for heterogeneous catalysis.

In this thesis, we explore a Hochschild homology and cohomology-like notion for logarithmic schemes.

Metals surfaces form a group of effective catalysts for the reaction of small molecules such as hydrogen (H2).

Combinatorial games are games for two competing players, moving in a turn-by-turn fashion, in which there is no chance nor hidden information⁠. Chess, checkers and the simpler tic tac toe are well-known examples of this class of games, as well as game of go⁠.

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.

The unit residue group, to which the present thesis is devoted, is defined using the norm-residue symbol, which Hilbert introduced into algebraic number theory in 1897.

In this thesis, we consider various (electro)chemical phenomena at surfaces and nanoparticles and their underlying atomistic processes, which we studied using first-principles methods such as density functional theory.

Most of current public-key cryptography is considered insecure against attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers. Post-quantum cryptography studies methods to secure information resistant against such attacks. One proposal is isogeny-based cryptography, which bases its security on computational…

The aims of the project are to: further clarify 'inhibition by safety'; explore and describe all possible sagety factors, with a special focus on the primary human safety source: social connectedness; reviewing prolonged stress responses without stressors.

One of the most important correlation functions in physics, especially in cosmology, is the energy density, which describes how much energy is present at each point in spacetime due to matter fields. A key contribution to the energy density of the primordial universe comes from gravitational waves (GWs),…

Stochastic resetting is simple enough to be approached analytically, yet modifies stochastic processes in a non-trivial way.

In this thesis, we show that we can use Shimura’s CM theory to explicitly compute the Hilbert class field of any primitive quartic CM field.
