The Model Theory of Algebraically Closed Fields
(University of Waterloo, 2000)Model theory can express properties of algebraic subsets of complex n-space. The constructible subsets are precisely the first order definable subsets, and varieties correspond to maximal consistent collections of ... -
Quadratically Dense Matroids
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-08)This thesis is concerned with finding the maximum density of rank-$n$ matroids in a minor-closed class. The extremal function of a non-empty minor-closed class $\mathcal M$ of matroids which excludes a rank-2 uniform ...
