This thesis is is made of three parts. The first part describes a generalization of the Chabauty's method, that can be used to determine the rational points of a curve such that s+g>r+1, where g is the genusof the curve, r is the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of the jacobian of the curve and s is…

My PhD research is devoted to studies of the conjectural cluster-algebraic symmetry in the theory of topological string, which is the simplest, however already non-trivial sector in the theory of string.

Like a mixture of oil and water, lipid membranes separate into two liquid phases.

The main theme of this thesis is the theoretical study of Gaussian processes as a tool in Bayesian nonparametric statistics.

This thesis mainly focuses on multimodal understanding and Visual Question Answering (VQA) via deep learning methods. For technical contributions, this thesis first focuses on improving multimodal fusion schemes via multi-stage vision-language interactions.

Quantum computers are a proposed fundamentally new type of computer. They aim to perform some computations much faster than previously possible by exploiting phenomena at the quantum scale, called superposition and entanglement.

Data Science (DS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are omni-present and have the potential to be incorporated in various fields. However, in order to live up to this expectation, a good understanding of the techniques, their implications and limitations is required. In this minor you develop insights…

Het belangrijkste doel van dit onderzoek is om de steden van het Romeinse Nabije Oosten in de keizertijd in kaart te brengen, met een focus op locatie, stadsgrootte en stedelijke kenmerken, om de vorm van het stedelijke systeem en de niveaus van integratie te bestuderen.

Given the accelerating appearance of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for more fundamental research into novel antibiotic strategies. The work in this thesis helps to address this global problem by developing new antibiotic compounds, inspired by the antibacterial mechanisms of the…

The largest structures in the Universe are clusters of galaxies. Each can contain hundreds to thousands of galaxies.

There is an increasing amount of attention on EU and its Member States contributions to implementation of two landmark agreements: the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Agenda 2030 with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Absent from the current literature is an analysis of the political effect of…

In this thesis, we explore a Hochschild homology and cohomology-like notion for logarithmic schemes.

This thesis describes how different colours of light affect various aspects of the growth and development of Arabidopsis and tomato plants⁠.

This thesis describes the design, synthesis, and immunological evaluation of varying (neo)antigenic peptide conjugates containing either a TLR2 or a TLR7 agonist.

This thesis is about cosmological inflation and its relation to observations.

Leiden University offers a unique range of summer courses where you can broaden or deepen your knowledge or share your expertise with fellow students. The choice of academic courses is very diverse, ranging from Law, Big Data, Languages and Linguistics to Maths and Natural Sciences, Biology, Biomedical…

This thesis combines field and laboratory studies to address some of the most pressing questions in the field of microplastic research.

In this thesis, we have used numerical approaches to study the effects of translational symmetry breaking on strange metallic systems as realised by the holographic duality⁠.

The main object of study in this thesis is an Arakelov inequalitywhich bounds the degree of an invertible subsheaf of the direct image ofthe pluricanonical relative sheaf of a semistable family of curves.

This thesis provides explicit expressions for the density functions of absolutely continuous invariant measures for general families of interval maps, that include random maps and infinite measure transformations, not necessarily number systems.

Almost all bacteria are enveloped by a cell wall that provides cellular protection.

The Sun and all the stars in the night sky reside in the Milky Way galaxy. In the at-rest reference frame of the Galaxy, typical stars travel with velocities of about 100-200 kilometres per second.
