      Article
      Open Access
      A new continuous-discontinuous strategy for the simulation of failure is presented. The continuous bulk is regularised by means of a gradient-enhanced damage model, where non-locality is introduced at the level of ...

      Sota, Antonino (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-10)
      Master thesis
      Restricted access - author's decision
      The main goal of this thesis is the study of elliptic curves over finite fields and the number of points of them. A study of interest is to analyze and find the cases when the difference #E(F_q^n )-#E(F_q) vanishes, where ...

      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      The goal of this work is to develop a computational method able to optimize the design process of a car structure and provide a tool which can support designers during the decision-making phase. The design of a car ...
    • A not usual integral

    • Additive volume of sets contained in few arithmetic progressions 

      Freiman, Gregory A.; Serra Albó, Oriol; Spiegel, Christoph (De Gruyter, 2019-03-06)
      Article
      Open Access
      A conjecture of Freiman gives an exact formula for the largest volume of a finite set A of integers with given cardinality k=|A| and doubling T=|2A|. The formula is known to hold when T=3k-4, for some small range over 3k-4 ...
    • An algebraic framework for Diffie–Hellman assumptions 

      Escala Ribas, Alex; Herold, Gottfried; Kiltz, Eike; Ràfols Salvador, Carla; Villar Santos, Jorge Luis (2015-10-22)
      Article
      Open Access
      We put forward a new algebraic framework to generalize and analyze Diffie-Hellman like Decisional Assumptions which allows us to argue about security and applications by considering only algebraic properties. Our D`,k-MDDH ...
    • An alternative approach to generalized Pythagorean scales: generation and properties derived in the frequency domain 

      Cubarsí Morera, Rafael (2020-03-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      Abstract scales are formalized as a cyclic group of classes of projection functions related to iterations of the scale generator. Their representatives in the frequency domain are used to built cyclic sequences of tone ...
    • An automorphic approach to Darmon points 

      Guitart Morales, Xavier; Masdeu Sabaté, Marc; Molina Blanco, Santiago (2020)
      Article
      Open Access
      We give archimedean and non-archimedean constructions of Darmon points on modular abelian varieties attached to automorphic forms over arbitrary number fields and possibly non-trivial central character. An effort is made ...
    • An introduction to the Langlands Conjectures 

      Felipe i Alsina, Marc (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-10)
      Master thesis
      Restricted access - author's decision
      In this thesis, we take a look into a generalization of Local Class Field Theory (LCFT), called the Local Langlands Conjecture, which concerns about identifying special representations of the Weil group, a subgroup of the ...
    • Artin’s Conjecture on primes with prescribed primitive roots 

      López-Contreras González, Javier (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-05-30)
      Bachelor thesis
      Open Access
      Covenantee:   University of California, Berkeley
      La Conjectura d’Artin sobre la densitat del conjunt de nombres primers amb una arrel primitiva prescrita és un dels problemes matemàtics oberts més fàcils d’enunciar. En la seva versió més clàssica, es planteja la següent ...
    • Automorphic SL2-periods and the subconvexity problem for GL2xGL3 

      Pal, Aprameyo; Vera Piquero, Carlos de (2020-01-09)
      Research report
      Open Access
      We prove a new (conditional) result towards the subconvexity problem for certain automorphic L-functions for GL2xGL3. This follows from the computation of new SL2-period integrals associated with newforms f and g of even ...

      Audiovisual
      Open Access
      I will recall what are the objects of the title and explain how one can combine them in a new way to explain a deep Theorem of Mazur and Wiles (proving a conjecture of Iwasawa) that gives a formula for the cardinality ...

      Bipartite secret sharing schemes have a bipartite access structure in which the set of participants is divided into two parts and all participants in the same part play an equivalent role. Such a bipartite scheme can be ...
