Full textIn this work we study 2-nilpotent Bol loops of exponent 2. Besides, we prove that the augmentation ideal of a loop algebra, of a finite p-nilpotent loop in characteristic p > 0, is nilpotent. With this result we characterized the invertible elements of the loop algebra of a 2-nilpotent loop over a field with two elements. We also proof that 2-nilpotent Bol loops of exponent 2 may be embedded into a right Bol loop of invertible elements of a right alternative algebra, over a field of characteristic 2.

Full textEl treball realitza per el Dr. Oliva ha sigut el punt d'inici d'aquesta tesis. Al capítol II es presenta un procés totalment automatitzat de classificació estructural de llaços de proteïnes quinases. Diferent millores varen ser introduïdes al treball original del Dr. Oliva: (i) un nou procés de reagrupació que evita els solapament entre agrupacions de llaços, (ii) un servidor web que permet l'accés i recerca de dades sobre els llaços classificats a través de internet, (iii) referències creuades amb altre bases de dades important. El capítol III es centra en dues qüestions bàsiques: la conservació de la estructura dels llaços i la seva funció i la conservació de la estructura dels llaços i la seva relació amb l'evolució. Un extensiu estudi sobre una classificació estructural de llaços de proteïnes quinases va ser realitzat. El motiu pe el quan les quinases varen ser escollides com a subjecte d'estudi es degut a la seva importància biològica i perquè hi ha molta informació disponible a la literatura. Finalment al capítol IV s'estudia la aplicabilitat de les classificacions estructurals de llaços en el camp de la predicció d'estructura. Es va realitzat un test de validació (Jack-knife test) per provar la utilitat de la informació de la seqüència en forma de perfils de les agrupacions estructurals de llaços.
This thesis is structured into five chapters. In chapter I, protein loops - the topics of this thesis work - are introduced. Also, a short description of biological databases and current protocols in sequence comparison are given. Chapters II to IV explore a major role that loop segments play in protein structures by using a structural bio-informatics approach: (i) the structural classification (ii) the relationship between the structure and function and (iii) the structure prediction of loops. The conclusive chapter V is devoted to several considerations that complement the conclusions given in previous chapters. Extensions of this thesis work are also suggested.
The research project on structural classification of loops, which was carried out by Dr. Oliva (Oliva et al. 1997), has been the starting point for all the other subsequent projects. In chapter II, a fully automated process for the structural classification of loops of kinases is presented. Several methodological improvements were made on the basis of Oliva's original work: (i) a newly introduced re-clustering process allows to avoid overlaps in classified loop clusters, (ii) a new web server was established to provide access and/or to query data through the internet, and (iii) cross referencing links were introduced with other biological databases. Chapter III focuses on two questions: the conservation of loop structures and functions and the extent of conservation of loop structures during evolution. An extensive analysis of a structural loop database of protein kinases was carried out. There are two main reasons why kinases were selected for the subject of this study: first, their critical biological relevance, and second the vast amount of functional information available in the literature and biological databases. Finally, in chapter IV, we apply ArchDB(Espadaler et al. 2004) for loop structure prediction. A Jack-knife test is performed to assess the usefulness of sequence information, which is included in the form of profiles in our structural clusters.

Full textAutomorphic loops, or A-loops, are loops in which every inner mapping is an automorphism. This variety of loops includes groups and commutative Moufang loops. Dihedral automorphic loops form a class of A-loops, constructed from the duplication of finite abelian groups, that generalizes the construction of the dihedral group. Another class of A-loops is the Lie automorphic loops, constructed from Lie rings, where a new operation between its elements is defined. A half-isomorphism is a bijection f between loops L and L\' where, for any x and y belong to L, we have that f(xy) belongs to the set {f(x)f(y),f(y)f(x)}. We say that half-isomorphism f is non trivial when f is neither an isomorphism nor an anti-isomorphism. In this thesis, we describe properties of half-isomorphisms of loops, we classify the half-isomorphisms between dihedral automorphic loops and we obtain the group of half-automorphisms in this class. For the Lie automorphic loops of odd order, we show that every half-automorphism is trivial.

Full textThe work in this thesis is devoted to the study of loop models in two and three dimensions, where there are two different phases: one with finite loops, and the other with at least one infinite loop. Specifically, three families of loop models have been studied. First, a family of three-dimensional completely-packed loop models with n colors, where the loops are defined in four-coordinated, oriented lattices. Second, the same family of loop models when there is an extra interaction that preserves an special symmetry of the lattice. Third, a family of two-dimensional completely-packed loop models where the loops are allowed to cross. We have characterised the phase diagram of the first family of models in two different lattices, the three-dimensional L and K lattices. The character of the phase transitions becomes first order for n>nc and we have presented a lower bound: nc>3.0(2). For n=1 and n=2 we have shown that the universality classes of the loop models are those of the class C at the Anderson transitions and the O(3) sigma model, respectively. This is compatible with the fact that the loop models can be related to a lattice field theory of the CP^{n-1} sigma models. For n=3 we have found results compatibles with a continuous phase transition for both lattices, and we have given for the first time values of the critical exponents: ν=0.536(13) and η=0.23(2). We have also characterised the loop length distribution of the extended phase and we have found that it is the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with parameter θ=n. In the second model, for n=2 we have been able to describe a transition between the extended phase and a localised phase, the so-called U(1) phase, which crossover to a Z_4 localised phase. We have shown that this model behaves similarly to the paradigmatic models for the study of the quantum deconfinement criticality and seems to be in that universality class. We would like to emphasize that the results are compatible with a "non-standard" continuous transition or a very weak first order transition. We have proposed a candidate to show a deconfined critical point, related to SU(2) magnets, and we have studied system sizes bigger than what have been published up to date. And last, we have also studied the bidimensional loop models with crossings. We have been able to pin down the features of the so-called Goldstone phase. Particularly, we have found logarithmic behaviours in several observables: correlators, winding number, etc. In order to observe them we have developed a parallelizable transfer matrix technique which has allowed us to reach enormous system sizes. We have also studied the phase transition in these models and we have characterised the critical exponents for the first time. We have found that they are quite similar to those of the symplectic class of Anderson transition in two dimensions. We have performed the study of these loop models by numerical procedures, using several Monte Carlo algorithms. The implementation of these algorithms have been done in FORTRAN 90 with the parallelization libraries: OPENMP and MPICH. We have also developed an implementation of one of these algorithms in graphical processing units with CUDA. With this work we have given a different approach to study of several quantum phase transitions by simulating geometrical (classical) models, which allows to study system sizes bigger than other techniques.

Resumo: As otimizações implementadas em compiladores proporcionam uma melhora significativa de desempenho dos programas. Em muitos casos, proporcionam também a redução do tamanho do programa. Quase todos os programas em produção são compilados com diretivas de otimização, para obter máximo desempenho.Para o estudo de novas técnicas de otimização, faz-se necessário um ambiente de testes no qual essas técnicas possam ser incorporadas facilmente. O projeto Xingó foi desenvolvido com esse intuito. Gerando código C compilável, o Xingó proporciona facilmente a verificação do resultado das otimizações implementadas.Este trabalho mostra a implementa¸c¿ao de algumas otimizações em loops no projeto Xingó, demonstrando a viabilidade de novas otimizações serem incorporadas. Além disso, este trabalho analisa o resultado da utiliza¸c¿ao de ferramentas disponíveis no mercado que verificam a corretude de cada uma das otimizações e que avaliam o desempenho do sistema com as otimizações implementadas
Abstract: Software performance is signifcantly improved by the optimizations implemented on the compilers. In some cases, the compiler optimizations also reduces the size of the software.It is necessary to have a test environment in order to study the result of optimization technics. The Xingó project was developed with such a concept in mind. By generating C compilable code, Xingó allows easy visualization of the results of new optimization technics.This work shows the implementation of some loop optimizations on the Xingó project, demonstrating that it can incorporate new optimizations. Besides that, this work shows the results from the usage of available tools that checks each optimization correctness and also tools that analyses the performance of the system with the optimizations incorporated.

Full textThis work is about code loops. For this study, we introduce the code loops from even codes and then we prove that code loops of rank n can be characterized as a homomorphic image of a certain free Moufang loops with $n$ generators. Moreover, we introduce the concept of characteristic vectors associated with code loops. With the results of this theory, we classify all the code loops of rank 3 and 4, we find all the groups of outer automorphisms of these loops and finally we determine all their basic representations.

We also determine their enveloping Lie algebras and we exhibit two non-isomorphic Bol algebras which have isomorphic enveloping Lie algebras. We determine the (local) correspondent algebraic groups of each of those enveloping Lie algebras and we show that every global analytic (algebraic) Bol loop of dimension 2 over a eld of characteristic 0 is a group. We exhibit examples of non-nilpotent solvable algebraic Bol loops in dimension n for every n > 2, and we were able to give a necessary and sucient condition to decide if a local algebraic Bol loop is global when its enveloping Lie algebra is nilpotent of index 2 and char(F) 6= 2:

Full textThis thesis is dedicated to the study of Wilson loops in supersymmetric gauge theories, we will study their properties and how they are related to physical observables, such as the Bremsstrahlung function that controls to the energy radiated by an accelerating particle. We will give various examples of the computation of their expectations values using perturbative and non-perturbative techniques. For SU(N) superconformal QCD we perform a three-loop calculation of the generalized cusp anomalous dimension of the BPS Wilson loop operator using HQET formalism. We obtain an expression which is valid at generic geometric and internal angles and finite gauge group rank N. For equal and opposite angles this expression vanishes, proving that at these points the cusp becomes BPS. From its small angle expansion we derive the corresponding Bremsstrahlung function at three loops, matching the matrix model prediction given in terms of derivatives of the Wilson loop on the ellipsoid.

Full textThe complex behavior of computer systems offers many challenges for formal verification. The analysis quickly becomes difficult as the number of participating processes increases.
A parameterized system is a family of systems parameterized on a number n, typically representing the number of participating processes. The uniform verification problem — to check whether a property holds for each instance — is an infinite-state problem. The automated analysis of parameterized and infinite-state systems has been the subject of research over the last 15–20 years. Much of the work has focused on safety properties. Progress in verification of liveness properties has been slow, as it is more difficult in general.
In this thesis, we consider verification of parameterized and infinite-state systems, with an emphasis on liveness, in the verification framework called regular model checking (RMC). In RMC, states are represented as words, sets of states as regular expressions, and the transition relation as a regular relation.
We extend the automata-theoretic approach to RMC. We define a specification logic sufficiently strong to specify systems representable using RMC, and linear temporal logic properties of such systems, and provide an automatic translation from a specification into an analyzable model.
We develop acceleration techniques for RMC which allow more uniform and automatic verification than before, with greater power. Using these techniques, we succeed to verify safety and liveness properties of parameterized protocols from the literature.
We present a novel reachability based verification method for verification of liveness, in a general setting. We implement the method for RMC, with promising results.
Finally, we develop a framework for the verification of dynamic networks based on graph transformation, which generalizes the systems representable in RMC. In this framework we verify the latest version of the DYMO routing protocol, currently being considered for standardization by the IETF.

Full textIf M is a symplectic manifold then the space of smooth loops C(S^1,M) inherits of a quasi-symplectic form. We will focus in this thesis on an algebraic analogue of that result.In their article, Kapranov and Vasserot introduced and studied the formal loop space of a scheme X. It is an algebraic version of the space of smooth loops in a differentiable manifold.We generalize their construction to higher dimensional loops. To any scheme X -- not necessarily smooth -- we associate L^d(X), the space of loops of dimension d. We prove it has a structure of (derived) Tate scheme -- ie its tangent is a Tate module: it is infinite dimensional but behaves nicely enough regarding duality.We also define the bubble space B^d(X), a variation of the loop space.We prove that B^d(X) is endowed with a natural symplectic form as soon as X has one.To prove our results, we develop a theory of Tate objects in a stable infinity category C. We also prove that the non-connective K-theory of Tate(C) is the suspension of that of C, giving an infinity categorical version of a result of Saito.The last chapter is aimed at a different problem: we prove there the existence of a Lie structure on the tangent of a derived Artin stack X. Moreover, any quasi-coherent module E on X is endowed with an action of this tangent Lie algebra through the Atiyah class of E. This in particular applies to not necessarily smooth schemes X

Full textCataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 89-91).
In this thesis we present Bolt, a novel system for escaping infinite loops. If a user suspects that an executing program is stuck in an infinite loop, the user can use the Bolt user interface, which attaches to the running process and determines if the program is executing in an infinite loop. If that is the case, the user can direct the interface to automatically explore multiple strategies to escape the infinite loop, restore the responsiveness of the program, and recover useful output. Bolt operates on stripped x86 and x64 binaries, analyzes both single-thread and multi-threaded programs, dynamically attaches to the program as-needed, dynamically detects the loops in a program and creates program state checkpoints to enable exploration of different escape strategies. This makes it possible for Bolt to detect and escape infinite loops in off-the-shelf software, without available source code, or overhead in standard production use.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The search for non-terminating paths within a program is a crucial part of software verification, as the detection of anfinite path is often the only manner of falsifying program termination - the failure of a termination prover to verify termination does not necessarily imply that a program is non-terminating. This document describes the development and implementation of two focussed techniques for investigating the non-termination of affine loops. The developed techniques depend on the known non-termination concepts of recurrent sets and Jordan matrix decomposition respectively, and imply the decidability of single-variable and cyclic affine loops. Furthermore, the techniques prove to be practically capable methods for both the location of non-terminating paths, as well as the generation of preconditions for non-termination.
