Excluding a precise list of groups like alternating, symmetric, cyclic and dihedral, from 1st year algebra (§7.2.3), we expect there are only finitely many monodromy groups of primitive genus 0 covers. Denote this nearly proven genus 0 problem as Problem 2 . We call the exceptional groups 0-sporadic. Example: Finitely many Chevalley groups are 0-sporadic. A proven result: Among polynomial 0-spo...

Chronic stress leads to a weakening of excitatory synaptic transmission within and between multiple brain regions. In this talk I will discuss a model in which chronic stress impairs excitatory synapses in multiple sites with cortico-mesolimbic reward circuitry thereby producing depressive-like behavioral changes, such as anhedonia. In this model, weakening of excitatory synapses within and bet...

A nite-state machine is called a Thompson machine if it can be constructed from a regular expression using Thompson's construction. We call the underlying digraph of a Thompson machine a Thompson digraph. We characterize Thompson digraphs and, as one application of the characterization, we give an algorithm that generates an equivalent regular expression from a Thompson machine in time linear i...

We define a Heegaard-Scharlemann-Thompson (HST) splitting of a 3-manifold M to be a sequence of pairwise-disjoint, embedded surfaces, {Fi}, such that for each odd value of i, Fi is a Heegaard splitting of the submanifold of M cobounded by Fi−1 and Fi+1. Our main result is the following: Suppose M (6= B or S) is an irreducible submanifold of a triangulated 3-manifold, bounded by a normal or almo...
