Counting Number Fields by Discriminant

The central topic of this dissertation is counting number fields ordered by discriminant. We fix a base field k and let Nd(k,G;X) be the number of extensions N/k up to isomorphism with Nk/Q(dN/k) ≤ X, [N : k] = d and the Galois closure of N/k is equal to G. We establish two main results in this work. In the first result we establish upper bounds for N|G| (k,G;X) in the case that G is a finite group with an abelian normal subgroup. Further, we establish upper bounds for the case N |F| (k,G;X) where G is a Frobenius group with an abelian Frobenius kernel F. In the second result we establish is an asymptotic expression for N6(Q;A4;X). We show that N6(Q,A4;X) = CX1/2 + O(X0.426...) and indicate what is expecedted under the `-torsion conjecture and the Lindelöf Hypothesis. We begin this work by stating the results that are established here precisely, and giving a historical overview of the problem of counting number fields. In Chapter 2, we establish background material in the areas of ramification of prime numbers and analytic number theory. In Chapter 3, we establish the asymptotic result for N6(Q,A4;X). In Chapter 4, we establish upper bounds for Nd(k,G;X) for groups with a normal abelian subgroup and for Frobenius groups. Finally we conclude with Chapter 5 with certain extensions of the method. In particular, we indicate how to count extensions of different degrees and discuss how to use tools about average results on the size of the torsion of the class group on almost all extensions in a certain family

A Diffused Background from Axion-like Particles in the Microwave Sky

The nature of dark matter is an unsolved cosmological problem and axions are one of the weakly interacting cold dark matter candidates. Axions or ALPs (Axion-like particles) are pseudo-scalar bosons predicted by beyond-standard model theories. The weak coupling of ALPs with photons leads to the conversion of CMB photons to ALPs in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. If they have the same mass as the effective mass of a photon in a plasma, the resonant conversion would cause a polarized spectral distortion leading to temperature fluctuations with the distortion spectrum. The probability of resonant conversion depends on the properties of the cluster such as the magnetic field, electron density, and its redshift. We show that this kind of conversion can happen in numerous unresolved galaxy clusters up to high redshifts, which will lead to a diffused polarised anisotropy signal in the microwave sky. The spectrum of the signal and its shape in the angular scale will be different from the lensed CMB polarization signal. This new polarised distortion spectrum will be correlated with the distribution of clusters in the universe and hence, with the large-scale structure. The spectrum can then be probed using its spectral and spatial variation with respect to the CMB and various foregrounds. An SNR of $\sim$ 4.36 and $\sim$ 93.87 are possible in the CMB-S4 145 GHz band and CMB-HD 150 GHz band respectively for a photon-ALPs coupling strength of $\mathrm{g_{a \gamma} = 10^{-12} \, GeV^{-1}}$ using galaxy clusters beyond redshift z $= 1$. The same signal would lead to additional RMS fluctuations of $\sim \mathrm{7.5 \times 10^{-2} \, \mu K}$ at 145 GHz. In the absence of any signal, future CMB experiments such as Simons Observatory (SO), CMB-S4, and CMB-HD can put constraints on coupling strength better than current bounds from particle physics experiment CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST).Comment: 37 pages, 20 figures, Published in JCA

A Survey of Word Reordering Model in Statistical Machine Translation

Machine translation is the process of translating one natural language in to another natural language by computers. In statistical machine translation word reordering is a big challenge between distant language pair. It is important factor for its quality and efficiency. Word reordering is major challenge For Indian languages who have big structural difference like English and Hindi language. This paper present description about statistical machine translation, reordering model and reordering types

Drip Paintings and Fractal Analysis

It has been claimed [1-6] that fractal analysis can be applied to unambiguously characterize works of art such as the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock. This academic issue has become of more general interest following the recent discovery of a cache of disputed Pollock paintings. We definitively demonstrate here, by analyzing paintings by Pollock and others, that fractal criteria provide no information about artistic authenticity. This work has also led to two new results in fractal analysis of more general scientific significance. First, the composite of two fractals is not generally scale invariant and exhibits complex multifractal scaling in the small distance asymptotic limit. Second the statistics of box-counting and related staircases provide a new way to characterize geometry and distinguish fractals from Euclidean objects
