For an extension of local fields, a scaffold is shown to be a powerful tool for dealing with the problem of the freeness of fractional ideals over their associated orders (Byott, Childs and Elder: \textit{Scaffolds and Generalized Integral Galois Module Structure}, Ann. Inst. Fourier, 2018). The first class of field extensions admitting scaffolds is \enquote*{near one-dimensional elementary abelian extension}, introduced by Elder (\textit{Galois Scaffolding in One-dimensional Elementary Abelian Extensions}, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 2009). However, the scaffolds constructed in Elder's paper arise only from the classical Hopf-Galois structure. Therefore, the study in this thesis aims to investigate scaffolds in non-classical Hopf-Galois structures. Let $L/K$ be a near one-dimensional elementary abelian extension of degree $p^2$ for a prime $p \geq 3.$ We show that, among the $p^2-1$ non-classical Hopf-Galois structures on the extension, there are only $p-1$ of them for which scaffolds may exist, and these exist only under certain restrictive arithmetic condition on the ramification break numbers for the extension. The existence of scaffolds is beneficial for determining the freeness status of fractional ideals of $\mathfrak{O}_L$ over their associated orders. In almost all other cases, there is no fractional ideal which is free over its associated order. As a result, scaffolds fail to exist.

The work of this thesis focuses primarily on non-commutative algebras and actions of Hopf algebras. Specifically, we study the possible H-module algebra structures which can be imposed on path algebras of quivers, for a variety of Hopf algebras, H, and then given a possible action, classify the invariant ring. A Hopf algebra is a bialgebra (H, μ, η, ∆, ε) together with an antipode S : H → Hop which is compatible with the counit, ε, of H. A quiver is a directed graph, and the path algebra kQ of a quiver Q is a vector space where all the paths of the quiver form a basis, and multiplication is given by concatenation of paths whenever possible, and zero otherwise. In their paper, [9], Kinser and Walton classify Hopf actions of a specific family of Hopf algebras called a Taft algebras, T(n), on path algebras of loopless, finite, Schurian quivers. In this thesis, we extend their result to path algebras of any finite quiver and classify the invariant subring, kQT(n), in the case where the group like element g ∈ T(n) acts transitively on Q0. In the future, we hope that the ideas presented in this work extend to a classification of quantum groups, such as uq(sl2), acting on path algebras of finite quivers.

We investigate cofree coalgebras, and limits and colimits of coalgebras in some abelian monoidal categories of interest, such as bimodules over a ring, and modules and comodules over a bialgebra or Hopf algebra. We nd concrete generators for the categories of coalgebras in these monoidal categories, and explicitly construct cofree coalgebras, products and limits of coalgebras in each case. This answers an open question in [4] on the existence of a cofree coring, and constructs the cofree (co)module coalgebra on a B-(co)module, for a bialgebra B.

Cette thèse se situe au carrefour de la combinatoire et de l'algèbre. Elle se consacre d'une part à traduire des problèmes algébriques en des problèmes combinatoires, et inversement, utilise le formalisme algébrique pour traiter des questions combinatoires. Après un rappel des notions classiques de combinatoire et d'algèbres de Hopfavec quelques applications, nous abordons l'étude de certaines statistiques définies sur les permutations : les pics, les vallées, les doubles montées et les doubles descentes, qui sont à la base de la bijection de Françon-Viennot, elle-même débouchant sur une étude combinatoire des polynômes orthogonaux. Nous montrons qu'à partir de ces statistiques, il est possible de construire diverses sous-algèbres ou algèbres quotients de FQSym, une algèbre dont une base est indexée par les permutations. Puis, nous étudions deux suites classiques de combinatoire par une démarche non commutative : les polynômes de Gandhi, un raffinement polynomial des nombres de Genocchi, et les nombres d'Euler, une suite recelant de nombreuses propriétés combinatoires. Nous nous attachons à montrer que l'approche non commutative permet, dans la majeure partie des cas, d'obtenir de manière directe des interprétations d'identités combinatoires. Enfin, inversement, certaines questions de nature algébrique peuvent être abordées d'un point de vue combinatoire. Ainsi, à travers l'étude des algèbres dendriformes, des algèbres tridendriformes, et des quadrialgèbres, nous prouvons des questions de liberté à propos de ces algèbres grâce à la combinatoire des arbres étiquetés / This thesis is at the crossroads between combinatorics and algebra. It studies some algebraic problems from a combinatorial point of view, and conversely, some combinatorial problems have an algebraic approach which enables us tosolve them. In the first part, some classical statistics on permutations are studied: the peaks, the valleys, the double rises, and the double descents. We show that we can build sub algebras and quotients of FQSym, an algebra which basis is indexed by permutations. Then, we study classical combinatorial sequences such as Gandhi polynomials, refinements of Genocchi numbers, and Euler numbers in a non commutative way. In particular, we see that combinatorial interpretations arise naturally from the non commutative approach. Finally, we solve some freeness problems about dendriform algebras, tridendriform algebras and quadrialgebras thanks to combinatorics of some labelled trees

A software package has been written to compute the Hopf bifurcation structure in functional differential equations. The package is modular, and consists of several routines which perform one or more tasks. In conjunction with the routines available in this package, the user is required to provide a few routines which describe the specific system under analysis. Three example systems (from epidemiology, biochemistry and aerospace engineering) have been analyzed to illustrate the use of this package. / M.S.
