<p>We write down explicit algebraic formulas for the Szeg\H{o}, Garabedian and Bergman kernels for specific two-connected planar domains. We use these results to derive integral representations for a biholomorphic invariant relating the Bergman and Szeg\H{o} kernels. We use the formulas to study the asymptotic behavior of these kernels as a family of two-connected domains approaches the unit disc. We derive an explicit formula for the Green's function for the Laplacian for special values on two-connected domains. Every two-connected domain is biholomorphic to a unique two-connected domain of the type we consider. This allows one to write down formulas for the kernel functions on a general two-connected domain.</p>

Let <i>φ</i> be a self-map of <b>B</b>₂, the unit ball in <b>C</b>². We investigate the equation <i>C_φf</i>=<i>λf</i> where we define <i>C_φf </i>: -<i>f◦φ</i>, with <i>f a</i> function in the Drury Arves on Space. After imposing conditions to keep <i>C_φ</i> bounded and well-behaved, we solve the equation <i>C_φf - λf </i>and determine the spectrum <i>σ</i>(<i>C_φ</i>) in the case where there is no interior fixed point and boundary fixed point without multiplicity. We then investigate the existence of one-parameter semigroups for such maps and discuss some generalizations.

<div>The two main results in this thesis have a common point: Hermitian--Yang--Mills (HYM) metrics. In the first result, we address a Dirichlet problem for the HYM equations in bundles of infinite rank over Riemann surfaces. The solvability has been known since the work of Donaldson \cite{Donaldson92} and Coifman--Semmes \cite{CoifmanSemmes93}, but only for bundles of finite rank. So the novelty of our first result is to show how to deal with infinite rank bundles. The key is an a priori estimate obtained from special feature of the HYM equation.</div><div> </div><div> In the second result, we take on the topic of the so-called ``geometric quantization." This is a vast subject. In one of its instances the aim is to approximate the space of K\"ahler potentials by a sequence of finite dimensional spaces. The approximation of a point or a geodesic in the space of K\"ahler potentials is well-known, and it has many applications in K\"ahler geometry. Our second result concerns the approximation of a Wess--Zumino--Witten type equation in the space of K\"ahler potentials via HYM equations, and it is an extension of the point/geodesic approximation. </div><div> </div>

<p dir="ltr">This thesis presents applications of one-point quadrature domains to encryption and decryption as well as a method for estimating average temperature. In addition, it investigates methods for finding explicit formulas for certain functions and introduces results regarding quadrature domains for harmonic functions and for double quadrature domains. We use properties of quadrature domains to encrypt and decrypt locations in two dimensions. Results by Bell, Gustafsson, and Sylvan are used to encrypt a planar location as a point in a quadrature domain. A decryption method using properties of quadrature domains is then presented to uncover the location. We further demonstrate how to use data from the decryption algorithm to find an explicit formula for the Schwarz function for a one-point area quadrature domain. Given a double quadrature domain, we show that the fixed points within the area and arc length quadrature identities must be the same, but that the orders at each point may differ between these identities. In the realm of harmonic functions, we demonstrate how to uncover a one-point quadrature identity for harmonic functions from the quadrature identity for a simply-connected one-point quadrature domain for holomorphic functions. We use this result to state theorems for the density of one-point quadrature domains for harmonic functions in the realm of smooth domains with $C^{\infty}$-smooth boundary. These density theorems then lead us to discuss applications of quadrature domains for harmonic functions to estimating average temperature. We end by illustrating examples of the encryption process and discussing the building blocks for future work.</p>

<div>The Subword Complexity of a character string refers to the number of distinct substrings of any length that occur as contiguous patterns in the string. The kth Subword Complexity in particular, refers to the number of distinct substrings of length k in a string of length n. In this work, we evaluate the expected value and the second factorial moment of the kth Subword Complexity for the binary strings over memory-less sources. We first take a combinatorial approach to derive a probability generating function for the number of occurrences of patterns in strings of finite length. This enables us to have an exact expression for the two moments in terms of patterns' auto-correlation and correlation polynomials. We then investigate the asymptotic behavior for values of k=a log n. In the proof, we compare the distribution of the kth Subword Complexity of binary strings to the distribution of distinct prefixes of independent strings stored in a trie. </div><div>The methodology that we use involves complex analysis, analytical poissonization and depoissonization, the Mellin transform, and saddle point analysis.</div>
