The theory of Riemann surfaces is quite old, consequently it is well developed. Riemann surfaces originated in complex analysis as a means of dealing with the problem of multi-valued functions. Such multi-valued functions occur because the analytic continuation of a given holomorphic function element along different paths leads in general to different branches of that function. The theory splits in two parts; the compact and the non-compact case. The function theory developed on these cases are quite dissimilar. The main difficulty one encounters in the compact case is the scarcity of global holomorphic functions, which limits one’s study to meromorphic functions. This however is not an issue in non-compact Riemann surfaces, where one enjoys a vast variety of global holomorphic functions. While the function theory of compact Riemann surfaces is centered around the Riemann-Roch theorem, which essentially tells us how many linearly independent meromorphic functions there are having certain restrictions on their poles, the function theory developed on non-compact Riemann surface engages tools for approximation of functions on certain subsets by holomorphic maps on larger domains. The most powerful tool in this regard is the Runge’s approximation theorem. An intriguing application of this is the Gunning-Narasimhan theorem, which says that every connected open Riemann surface has an immersion into the complex plane. The main goal of this project is to prove Runge’s approximation theorem and illustrate its effectiveness in proving the Gunning-Narasimhan theorem. Finally we look at an analogue of Gunning-Narasimhan theorem in the case of a compact Riemann surface.

Soit G un groupe algébrique semi-simple sur un corps de caractéristique 0. Ce mémoire discute d'un théorème d'annulation de la cohomologie supérieure du faisceau D des opérateurs différentiels sur une variété de drapeaux de G. On démontre que si P est un sous-groupe parabolique de G, alors H^i(G/P,D)=0 pour tout i>0. On donne en fait trois preuves indépendantes de ce théorème. La première preuve est de Hesselink et n'est valide que dans le cas où le sous-groupe parabolique est un sous-groupe de Borel. Elle utilise un argument de suites spectrales et le théorème de Borel-Weil-Bott. La seconde preuve est de Kempf et n'est valide que dans le cas où le radical unipotent de P agit trivialement sur son algèbre de Lie. Elle n'utilise que le théorème de Borel-Weil-Bott. Enfin, la troisième preuve est attribuée à Elkik. Elle est valide pour tout sous-groupe parabolique mais utilise le théorème de Grauert-Riemenschneider. On présente aussi une construction détaillée du faisceau des opérateurs différentiels sur une variété. / Let G be a semisimple algebraic group on a field of characteristic 0. This thesis discusses a vanishing theorem for the higher cohomology of the sheaf D of differential operators on a flag variety of G. We show that if P is a parabolic subgroup of G, then H^i(G/P,D)=0 for all i>0. In fact, we give three independent proofs of this theorem. The first proof, due to Hesselink, only works if the parabolic subgroup P is a Borel subgroup. It uses a spectral sequence argument as well as the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. The second proof, due to Kempf, only works if the unipotent radical of P acts trivially on its Lie algebra. It only uses the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. Finally, the third proof, due to Elkik, is valid for any parabolic subgroup. However, it uses the Grauert-Riemenschneider theorem. We also present a detailled construction of the sheaf of differential operators on a variety.

This thesis concerns the use of perverse sheaves with coefficients in commutative rings and in particular, fields of positive characteristic, in the study of modular representation theory. We begin by giving a new geometric interpretation of classical connections between the representation theory of the general linear groups and symmetric groups. We then survey work, joint with D. Juteau and G. Williamson, in which we construct a class of objects, called parity sheaves. These objects share many properties with the intersection cohomology complexes in characteristic zero, including a decomposition theorem and a close relation to representation theory. The final part of this document consists of two computations of IC stalks in the nilpotent cones of sl₃and sl₄. These computations build upon our calculations in sections 3.5 and 3.6 of (31), but utilize slightly more sophisticated techniques and allow us to compute the stalks in the remaining characteristics. / text

We study a quantum mechanical $\sigma$-model whose target space is a hyperKähler cone. As shown by Singleton, [184], such a theory has superconformal invariance under the algebra $\mathfrak{osp}(4^*|4)$. One can formally define a superconformal index that counts the short representations of the algebra. When the hyperKähler cone has a projective symplectic resolution, we define a regularised superconformal index. The index is defined as the equivariant Hirzebruch index of the Dolbeault cohomology of the resolution, hereafter referred to as the index. In many cases, the index can be explicitly calculated via localisation theorems. By limiting to zero the fugacities in the index corresponding to an isometry, one forms the index of the submanifold of the target space invariant under that isometry. There is a limit of the fugacities that gives the Hilbert series of the target space, and often there is another limit of the parameters that produces the Poincaré polynomial for $\mathbb C^\times$-equivariant Borel-Moore homology of the space. A natural class of hyperKähler cones are Nakajima quiver varieties. We compute the index of the $A$-type quiver varieties by making use of the fact that they are submanifolds of instanton moduli space invariant under an isometry. Every Nakajima quiver variety arises as the Higgs branch of a three dimensional $\mathcal N =4$ quiver gauge theory, or equivalently the Coulomb branch of the mirror dual theory. We show the equivalence between the descriptions of the Hilbert series of a line bundle on the ADHM quiver variety via localisation, and via Hanany's monopole formula. Finally, we study the action of the Poisson algebra of the coordinate ring on the Hilbert series of line bundles. We restrict to the case of looking at the Coulomb branch of balanced $ADE$-type quivers in a certain infinite rank limit. In this limit, the Poisson algebra is a semiclassical limit of the Yangian of $ADE$-type. The space of global sections of the line bundle is a graded representation of the Poisson algebra. We find that, as a representation, it is a tensor product of the space of holomorphic functions with a finite dimensional representation. This finite dimensional representation is a tensor product of two irreducible representations of the Yangian, defined by the choice of line bundle. We find a striking duality between the characters of these finite dimensional representations and the generating function for Poincaré polynomials.

This thesis summarises the author's results in representation theory of rings and schemes, obtained with several collaborators. First, we show that for a quasicompact semiseparated scheme X, the derived category of very flat quasicoherent sheaves is equivalent to the derived category of flat quasicoherent sheaves, and if X is affine, this is further equivalent to the homotopy category of projectives. Next, we prove that if R is a commutative Noetherian ring, then every countably generated flat module is quite flat, i.e., a direct summand of a transfinite extension of localizations of R in countable multiplicative subsets. Further, we investigate the relations between the geometric and categorical purity in categories of sheaves; we give a characterization of indecomposable geometric pure-injectives in both the quasicoherent and non-quasicoherent case. In partic- ular, we describe the Ziegler spectrum and its geometric part for the category of quasicoherent sheaves on the projective line over a field. The final result is the equivalence of the following statements for a quasicompact quasiseparated scheme X: (1) the category QCoh(X) of all quasicoherent sheaves on X has a flat generator; (2) for every injective object E of QCoh(X), the internal Hom functor into E is exact; (3) for some injective...

Non-locality and contextuality are key features of quantum mechanics that distinguish it from classical physics. We aim to develop a deeper, more structural understanding of these phenomena, underpinned by robust and elegant mathematical theory with a view to providing clarity and new perspectives on conceptual and foundational issues. A general framework for logical non-locality is introduced and used to prove that 'Hardy's paradox' is complete for logical non-locality in all (2,2,l) and (2,k,2) Bell scenarios, a consequence of which is that Bell states are the only entangled two-qubit states that are not logically non-local, and that Hardy non-locality can be witnessed with certainty in a tripartite quantum system. A number of developments of the unified sheaf-theoretic approach to non-locality and contextuality are considered, including the first application of cohomology as a tool for studying the phenomena: we find cohomological witnesses corresponding to many of the classic no-go results, and completely characterise contextuality for large families of Kochen-Specker-like models. A connection with the problem of the existence of perfect matchings in k-uniform hypergraphs is explored, leading to new results on the complexity of deciding contextuality. A refinement of the sheaf-theoretic approach is found that captures partial approximations to locality/non-contextuality and can allow Bell models to be constructed from models of more general kinds which are equivalent in terms of non-locality/contextuality. Progress is made on bringing recent results on the nature of the wavefunction within the scope of the logical and sheaf-theoretic methods. Computational tools are developed for quantifying contextuality and finding generalised Bell inequalities for any measurement scenario which complement the research programme. This also leads to a proof that local ontological models with `negative probabilities' generate the no-signalling polytopes for all Bell scenarios.

La topologie algébrique, bien que domaine abstrait des mathématiques, apporte de nouveaux concepts pour le traitement d'images. En effet, ces tâches sont complexes et restent limitées par différents facteurs tels que la nécessité d’utiliser un paramétrage, l'influence de l'arrière-plan ou la superposition d'objets. Nous proposons ici des méthodes dérivées de la topologie algébrique qui diffèrent des méthodes classiques de traitement d'images par l’intégration d’informations locales vers des échelles globales grâce à des invariants topologiques. Une première méthode de segmentation d'images a été développée en ajoutant aux caractéristiques statistiques classiques d’autres de nature topologique calculées par homologie persistante. Une autre méthode basée sur des complexes topologiques a été développée dans le but de segmenter les objets dans des images 2D et 3D. Cette méthode segmente des objets dans des images multidimensionnelles et fournit une réponse à certains problèmes habituels en restant robuste vis à vis du bruit et de la variabilité de l'arrière-plan. Son application aux images de grande taille peut se faire en utilisant des superpixels. Nous avons également montré que l'homologie relative détecte le mouvement d’objets dans une séquence d'images qui apparaissent et disparaissent du début à la fin. Enfin, nous posons les bases d’un ensemble de méthodes d'analyse d'images basé sur la théorie des faisceaux qui permet de fusionner des données locales en un ensemble cohérent. De plus, nous proposons une seconde approche qui permet de comprendre et d'interpréter la structure d’une image en utilisant les invariants fournis par la cohomologie des faisceaux. / Algebraic topology, which is often appears as an abstract domain of mathematics, can bring new concepts in the execution of the image processing tasks. Indeed, these tasks might be complex and limited by different factors such as the need of prior parameters, the influence of the background, the superposition of objects. In this thesis, we propose methods derived from algebraic topology that differ from classical image processing methods by integrating local information at global scales through topological invariants. A first method of image segmentation was developed by adding topological characteristics calculated through persistent homology to classical statistical characteristics. Another method based on topological complexes built from pixels was developed with the purpose to segment objects in 2D and 3D images. This method allows to segment objects in multidimensional images but also to provide an answer to known issues in object segmentation remaining robust regarding the noise and the variability of the background. Our method can be extended to large scale images by using the superpixels concept. We also showed that the relative version of homology can be used effectively to detect the movement of objects in image sequences. This method can detect and follow objects that appear and disappear in a video sequence from the beginning to the end of the sequence. Finally, we lay the foundations of a set of methods of image analysis based on sheaf theory that allows the merging of local data into a coherent whole. Moreover, we propose a second approach that allows to understand and interpret scale analysis and localization by using the sheaves cohomology.
