    An introductory course on differentiable manifolds

    , Book Shashahani, Siavash
    Dover Publications, Inc  2016
    Abstract
    Based on author Siavash Shahshahani's extensive teaching experience, this volume presents a thorough, rigorous course on the theory of differentiable manifolds. Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics, the treatment's prerequisites include a strong background in undergraduate mathematics, including multivariable calculus, linear algebra, elementary abstract algebra, and point set topology. More than 200 exercises offer students ample opportunity to gauge their skills and gain additional insights.
    The four-part treatment begins with a single chapter devoted to the tensor algebra of linear spaces and their mappings. Part II brings in neighboring points to... 

    P - Adic L Functions

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sanjari, Ali (Author) ; Shahshahani, Siavash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Using interpolation and starting with Bernoulli numbers, posed by Leopold and Kubota, the aspect of adic function was constructed as adic analogues of the Dirichlet functions.Studing Galois module theory of ideal class group and his favorite structure extensions and modules related to them,Iwasawa found a new method for constructing adic functions by using Stickelberger’s elements.These results wich established by Iwasawa are known as Iwasawa Theory and they have many application in Algebriac Number Theory. Iwasawa’s most remarkable disconvry is the facet that at least in some important cases, there is a similar deep algebraic and analytic dichotomy in arithmetic of extensions. A... 

    The Evolution of a Geometric Space in in the Nineteenth Century

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Karimi, Ehsan (Author) ; Shahshahani, Siavash (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The meaning and the nature of space and it’s essential properties seems to be one of the oldest problems which has been continuing to occupy human’s mind during centuries. It can be counted as a common ground between philosophy, mathematics, physics and even art. However this thesis concentrates on the philosophical and mathematical attitudes, neglecting the other aspects of the issue. Prima facie, it appears that the concept of space is essentially mingled with geometry, the science which seems to investigate the essentials of space. Taking it for granted, Kant regarded space, and so Euclidean geometry which dominates it, as an indispensible and necessary structure of the human’s mind.... 

    Geometric Zero-Divisor Graphs

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Hadian Jazi, Majid (Author) ; Shahshahani, Siavash (Supervisor) ; Shahshahani, Mehrdad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis, zero-divisor ideal graphs and geometric zero-divisor graphs are introduced and are partially studied. We begin by studying the relation between the zero-divisor graph and zero-divisor ideal graph associated to principal ideal rings. We also investigate some of the basic properties of the zero-divisor ideal graphs, including their girth and diameter. Then, we introduce the geometric zero-divisor graphs associated to reduced schemes and study their basic properties to some extent. Finally, we conclude by characterizing all reduced schemes whose associated geometric zero-divisor graph contains a vertex which is... 

    Topology, Geometry and Algebra of Grothendieck’s Dessin

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Kamalinejad, Ali (Author) ; Shahshahani, Siavash (Supervisor) ; Shahshahani, Mehrdad (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Grothendieck’s theory of dessin d’enfant makes a connection between piecewise flat metrics and conformal structures on a compact surface R on one hand, and the defining equation for R whose coefficients lie in an algebraic number field on the other. This connection is realized by a combinatorial structure (a dessin) on a given surface R.In this thesis we begin by briefly reviewing Grothendieck’s theory of dessin d’enfant and Belyi’s theorem and also the approximation of a Belyi map via Thurston’s theory of circle packings.We then introduce a method for computing the explicit equation of the Riemann surface and Belyi map associated to a dessin. Also we explain how the absolute Galois group... 

    Higher Composition Laws

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezazadeh, Sina (Author) ; Pournaki, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor) ; Shahshahani, Siavash (Supervisor)
    Abstract

    Gauss' theory of the arithmetic of quadratic forms appeared in Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (1801) and in particular Gauss presented a composition law for binary quadratic forms and related it to the arithmetic of quadratic extensions of Q. In the series of papers of “Higher Composition Laws” Manjul Bhargava gave a far reaching generalization of Gauss' composition law and extended it to binary cubic, and a number of other cases. He obtained six composition laws one of which the classical one of Gauss. Since the work of Gauss has had deep impact on number theory and in particular on the arithmetic of quadratic fields, one expects that Bhargava’s theory to lead to new insights in...
