description: Compte tenu de ses atouts structurels et de la population qu’il accueille, l’établissement thermal constitue un acteur de prévention incontournable. La Chaîne thermale du Soleil, leader de la médecine thermale en France, a développé sa démarche prévention depuis une décennie afin de mieux répondre aux besoins des malades chroniques. Des exemples concrets d’actions de prévention mises en œuvre dans les établissements du Groupe sont présentés. Ils illustrent l’engagement et la formation de ses personnels ; la variété des possibilités d’actions de prévention dans les établissements thermaux pouvant relever à la fois de la prévention primaire, secondaire ou tertiaire ; ainsi que le rôle particulier que peut remplir la médecine thermale dans le parcours de santé.
description: Given its structural assets and its patient population, hot spring treatment centres have become leading players in preventive healthcare promotion. The Chaîne Thermale du Soleil Group, France’s hot spring medicine n°1 operator, started to implement its health prevention actions in 2005 in order to answer best chronic disease patients’ needs. Tangible examples of this policy are presented. They embody the commitment and the level of training of the personnel, as well as the diversity of activities that are deployed to tackle health issues on all levels of preventive healthcare strategies. It shows the pivotal role those centres are now playing in the patient’s course of treatment.
Covalency effects on the magnetism of EuRh2P2

description: In experiments, the ternary Eu pnictide EuRh2P2 shows an unusual coexistence of a non-integral Eu valence of about 2.2 and a rather high Neel temperature of 50 K. In this paper, we present a model which explains the non-integral Eu valence via covalent bonding of the Eu 4f-orbitals to P2 molecular orbitals. In contrast to intermediate valence models where the hybridization with delocalized conduction band electrons is known to suppress magnetic ordering temperatures to at most a few Kelvin, covalent hybridization to the localized P2 orbitals avoids this suppression. Using perturbation theory we calculate the valence, the high temperature susceptibility, the Eu single-ion anisotropy and the superexchange couplings of nearest and next-nearest neighbouring Eu ions. The model predicts a tetragonal anisotropy of the Curie constants. We suggest an experimental investigation of this anisotropy using single crystals. From experimental values of the valence and the two Curie constants, the three free parameters of our model can be determined.

description: The Bees Algorithm is a parameter optimisation method that mimics the foraging behaviour of honey bees. This paper presents an experimental study of the performance of the Bees Algorithm. Its strengths and weaknesses are analysed, and the most suitable parameterizations in relation to different optimisation tasks are revealed. The robustness of the optimisation results to reasonable modifications of the fitness landscape is studied for a large set of parameterizations. The Bees Algorithm is tested on 18 custom-made function minimisation benchmarks, and its performance compared to that of two state-of-the-art biologically inspired optimisation methods. Thanks to their two-dimensional nature, the proposed fitness landscapes are easy to visualise. Experimental evidence indicates also that they constitute a varied and challenging set of test cases, useful to reveal the specific abilities and biases of the search algorithms. In addition, the performance of the Bees Algorithm and the other two optimisation methods is tested on four real-world minimisation tasks from the literature. The results obtained on the benchmarks prove the effectiveness and robustness of the bees foraging metaphor, in particular on the most deceptive and high-dimensional fitness landscapes. They also confirm the ability of the Bees Algorithm to solve complex real-world optimisation tasks.
Scalar leptoquark pair production at the LHC: precision predictions in the era of flavour anomalies

description: We comprehensively examine precision predictions for scalar leptoquark pair production at the LHC. In particular, we investigate the impact of lepton $t$-channel exchange diagrams that are potentially relevant in the context of leptoquark scenarios providing an explanation for the flavour anomalies. We also evaluate the corresponding total rates at the next-to-leading order in QCD. Moreover, we complement this calculation with the resummation of soft-gluon radiation at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, hence providing the most precise predictions for leptoquark pair production at the LHC to date. Relying on a variety of benchmark scenarios favoured by the anomalies, our results exhibit an interesting interplay between the $t$-channel diagram contributions, the flavour texture satisfied by the leptoquark Yukawa couplings, the leptoquark masses and their representations under the Standard Model gauge group, as well as the chosen set of parton densities used for the numerical evaluations. The net effect on a cross section turns out to be very non-generic and ranges up to about 60% with respect to the usual next-to-leading-order predictions in QCD (i.e. without any $t$-channel contribution) for some scenarios considered. Dedicated calculations are thus required for any individual leptoquark model that could be considered in a collider analysis in order to assess the size of the studied corrections. In order to facilitate such calculations we provide dedicated public numerical packages.

See you in court : native Indians and the law in British Columbia, 1969-1985
Creators: name: Bush, Pamela Joanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Between 1969 and 1985, native Indians in British Columbia have used the courts in a significant number of cases to pursue goals which can be considered particularly Indian in that they have arisen as a result of the Indians' position as one of the indigenous peoples of Canada. Three general questions with respect to the use of the courts are addressed. First, what goals have native Indians pursued in the courts, and how are these related to the objectives which native Indians are pursuing in the political arena? Second, how have these goals been pursued in court; that is, what legal arguments were used, how were these related to the goals pursued, and how do these affect the possible impact of the cases? Third, what have been the consequences of court action? Through an examination of the court cases in which native Indians were involved from 1969-1985, four major goals were identified. First, native Indians used the courts in order to ensure that they received the benefits to which they were entitled under the provisions of the. Indian Act. Second, native Indians challenged the way in which the federal government had administered the Indian Act. Third, Indians have attempted to preserve their traditional way of life by arguing that federal and provincial legislation which regulates hunting and fishing should not apply to them. Fourth, native Indians have used the courts in attempts to prevent damage to land and resources to which they have a claim. Native Indians have not attempted to achieve a recognition of their right to self-government through court action; rather they have pursued goals which can be termed "economic" from the viewpoint of non-native society. Native Indians have used the courts both in order to achieve legal solutions to disputes, and as a means of putting economic and political pressure on governments. In their attempts to use the courts to achieve legal solutions, Indians have achieved some successes. The overall utility of the courts as a means of putting economic and political pressure on governments has yet to be determined, although to date it would appear that native Indians have made some gains by using the courts in this way.
Constraints on neutrino mass fraction using Redshift Space Distortions
Creators: name: Petracca, Fernanda <1983>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2014
Subjects: FIS/05 Astronomia e astrofisica

description: Redshift Space Distortions (RSD) are an apparent anisotropy in the distribution of galaxies due to their peculiar motion.
These features are imprinted in the correlation function of galaxies, which describes how these structures distribute around each other. RSD can be represented by a distortions parameter $\beta$, which is strictly related to the growth of cosmic structures.
For this reason, measurements of RSD can be exploited to give constraints on the cosmological parameters, such us for example the neutrino mass.
Neutrinos are neutral subatomic particles that come with three flavours, the electron, the muon and the tau neutrino. Their mass differences can be measured in the oscillation experiments.
Information on the absolute scale of neutrino mass can come from cosmology, since neutrinos leave a characteristic imprint on the large scale structure of the universe.
The aim of this thesis is to provide constraints on the accuracy with which neutrino mass can be estimated when expoiting measurements of RSD. In particular we want to describe how the error on the neutrino mass estimate depends on three fundamental parameters of a galaxy redshift survey: the density of the catalogue, the bias of the sample considered and the volume observed.
In doing this we make use of the BASICC Simulation from which we extract a series of dark matter halo catalogues, characterized by different value of bias, density and volume.
This mock data are analysed via a Markov Chain Monte Carlo procedure, in order to estimate the neutrino mass fraction, using the software package CosmoMC, which has been conveniently modified.
In this way we are able to extract a fitting formula describing our measurements, which can be used to forecast the precision reachable in future surveys like Euclid, using this kind of observations.
Galaxy evolution in the VIMOS public extragalactic redshift survey (VIPERS)

Subjects: FIS/05 Astronomia e astrofisica

description: In this work I present the first measurements of the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) from the first public release of the VIPERS catalogue, containing ∼55,000 objects. 
First, I present the survey design, its scientific goal, the redshift measurements and validation. Then, I provide details about the estimate of galaxy stellar masses, star formation rates, and other physical quantities. I derive the GSMF of different galaxy types (e.g. active and passive galaxies) and as a function of the environment (defined through the local galaxy density contrast). These estimates represent new observational evidence useful to characterise the mechanism of galaxy evolution.
Improving the cosmic distance ladder. Distance and structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Creators: name: Muraveva, Tatiana <1986>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna

Subjects: FIS/05 Astronomia e astrofisica

description: The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is widely considered as the first step of the cosmological distance ladder, since it contains many different distance indicators. An accurate determination of the distance to the LMC allows one to calibrate these distance indicators that are then used to measure the distance to far objects.
The main goal of this thesis is to study the distance and structure of the LMC, as traced by different distance indicators. For these purposes three types of distance indicators were chosen: Classical Cepheids,``hot'' eclipsing binaries and RR Lyrae stars. These objects belong to different stellar populations tracing, in turn, different sub-structures of the LMC. The RR Lyrae stars (age >10 Gyr) are distributed smoothly and likely trace the halo of the LMC. Classical Cepheids are young objects (age 50-200 Myr), mainly located in the bar and spiral arm of the galaxy, while ``hot'' eclipsing binaries   mainly trace the star forming regions of the LMC. Furthermore, we have chosen these distance indicators for our study, since the calibration of their zero-points is based on fundamental geometric methods. The ESA cornerstone mission Gaia, launched on 19 December 2013, will measure trigonometric parallaxes for one billion stars with an accuracy of 20 micro-arcsec  at V=15 mag, and 200 micro-arcsec at V=20 mag, thus will allow us to calibrate the zero-points of Classical Cepheids, eclipsing binaries and RR Lyrae stars with an unprecedented precision.

description: Existing research has tended to examine party manifesto appeals to women voters as a homogenous group however we know relatively little about how parties appeal to different groups of women voters. Yet there are strong incentives for parties to respond to and reflect diversity in women’s voting behaviour. Through a gendered analysis of party manifestos at the 2015, 2017 and 2019 British general elections, we investigate the spread and reach of parties’ policy appeals to women voters. We find that, while the principal state-wide parties are increasingly recognizing women’s diversity in their policy pledges, some groups of women remain marginalized from parties’ electoral agendas. Our findings extend the empirical and analytical understanding of how political parties make gendered appeals during election times and to whom. We argue the way parties seek to appeal to the diversity of women is important for the analysis of both issue ownership and interparty competition for women’s votes. Additionally, we make a normative case for parties to recognize diversity and intersectionality in their manifesto policy promises.

description: The young (50-400 Myr) A3V star $β$ Leo is a primary target to study the formation history and evolution of extrasolar planetary systems as one of the few stars with known hot ($\sim$1600$^\circ$K), warm ($\sim$600$^\circ$K), and cold ($\sim$120$^\circ$K) dust belt components. In this paper, we present deep mid-infrared measurements of the warm dust brightness obtained with the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) as part of its exozodiacal dust survey (HOSTS). The measured excess is 0.47\%$\pm$0.050\% within the central 1.5 au, rising to 0.81\%$\pm$0.026\% within 4.5 au, outside the habitable zone of $β$~Leo. This dust level is 50 $\pm$ 10 times greater than in the solar system's zodiacal cloud. Poynting-Robertson drag on the cold dust detected by Spitzer and Herschel under-predicts the dust present in the habitable zone of $β$~Leo, suggesting an additional delivery mechanism (e.g.,~comets) or an additional belt at $\sim$5.5 au. A model of these dust components is provided which implies the absence of planets more than a few Saturn masses between $\sim$5 au and the outer belt at $\sim$40 au. We also observationally constrain giant planets with the LBTI imaging channel at 3.8~$μ$m wavelength. Assuming an age of 50 Myr, any planet in the system between approximately 5 au to 50 au must be less than a few Jupiter masses, consistent with our dust model. Taken together, these observations showcase the deep contrasts and detection capabilities attainable by the LBTI for both warm exozodiacal dust and giant exoplanets in or near the habitable zone of nearby stars.

description: We prove that a 3-dimensional hyperbolic cusp with convex polyhedral boundary is uniquely determined by the metric induced on its boundary. Furthemore, any hyperbolic metric on the torus with cone singularities of positive curvature can be realized as the induced metric on the boundary of a convex polyhedral cusp. The proof uses the total scalar curvature functional on the space of ``cusps with particles'', which are hyperbolic cone-manifolds with the singular locus a union of half-lines. We prove, in addition, that convex polyhedral cusps with particles are rigid with respect to the induced metric on the boundary and the curvatures of the singular locus. Our main theorem is equivalent to a part of a general statement about isometric immersions of compact surfaces.

Fundamental studies to identify the type of defects are important in order to recognize pathways for damage alleviation. In this context, studies relating to identification of point defects and their clusters by in-situ ionoluminescence spectroscopy were taken up. The ionoluminescence spectrum acquired during 100 keV He+ ion irradiation shows two prominent bands, at 330 nm and 415 nm. Using density functional theory calculations with HSE06 hybrid exchange correlation functional, the luminescent bands have been identified to be arising due to native and irradiation induced oxygen vacancy defects in charged and neutral configurations.

description: Upward flame spread over discrete fuels has been analyzed through experimental research on vertical arrays of alternating lengths of PMMA and insulation. By manipulating the lengths of the PMMA fuel and the insulation, several important trends related to flame spread were identified and assessed.

The peak flame spread rate for arrays with 4 cm lengths of PMMA occurred at a fuel percentage of 67%; for arrays with 8 cm PMMA, a peak flame spread rate occurred at fuel percentages of 67%, 80%, and 89%. It has been hypothesized that increased air entrainment at these fuel percentages maximizes the flame spread rate.

Based on observed trends, this study proposed a method for approximation of the fuel spread rate at various fuel percentages. Given reasonable estimates for the homogeneous flame spread rate and the lowest fuel percentage that sustains spread, an estimation for intermediate spread rate values is feasible.

description: Political science asks how women navigate gender on the campaign trail – do they run “as women” or do they exhibit more “masculine” behaviours to increase credibility. The role of masculinity in men’s campaigns has received less attention. Yet, men “play the gender card” too. This paper analyses the use of gender in the campaign imagery of the two male party leaders in the 2019 UK General Election campaign via an examination of their campaign tweets. It finds that the male leaders did, indeed, “play the man card”. Both leaders overwhelmingly used masculine visuals on Twitter during the campaign. Johnson demonstrated elements of “hypermasculinity” exaggerating his strength and dominance in images of traditional, working-class masculinity. Despite calls for more compassionate, read feminine, politics, Corbyn’s campaign remained located in masculine imagery through consistent displays of agency. This paper makes three main contributions to current understandings of gender and election campaigning. Firstly, it offers the beginnings of a framework of types of masculinity in campaigning. Secondly, it adds support to the thesis that men play the gender card, and that it can take different forms. Thirdly, it raises questions about the use of binary frameworks in studying gender’s role in campaigning.

description: We introduce a new fractional oscillator process which can be obtained as solution of a stochastic differential equation with two fractional orders. Basic properties such as fractal dimension and short range dependence of the process are studied by considering the asymptotic properties of its covariance function. The fluctuation--dissipation relation of the process is investigated. The fractional oscillator process can be regarded as one-dimensional fractional Euclidean Klein-Gordon field, which can be obtained by applying the Parisi-Wu stochastic quantization method to a nonlocal Euclidean action. The Casimir energy associated with the fractional field at positive temperature is calculated by using the zeta function regularization technique.

description: When it comes to gender and voting behaviour Britain had become something of an outlier. Whilst more countries shifted along Inglehart and Norris’ “rising tide” continuum from traditional gender gaps, to realignment, into modern gender gaps (Inglehart and Norris 2000, “The Developmental Theory of the Gender gap: Women and Men's Voting Behaviour in Global Perspective.” International Political Science Review 21 (4): 441–462, 2003, Rising Tide: Gender Equality and Cultural Change Around the World. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), Britain remained at the realignment stage. But in 2017 a modern gender gap emerged with a greater proportion of women than men voting for Labour, and a greater proportion of men than women voting Conservative. In this paper we examine the 2019 European Parliament and General elections to assess whether the modern gender gap persists in Britain. We show that whilst in the 2019 General election we again observed a modern gender gap, it nevertheless is rooted in the specifics of the political context in Britain, specifically post-EU referendum cleavages. Moreover, the gender gaps in the European Parliament election reveal a more nuanced picture, and demonstrate how the electoral context shapes the gender vote gaps we see. Our results indicate that the presence of the modern gender gap in Britain is contingent, rather than the result of long-term realignment, as well as provide evidence for key processes that may cause gender gaps to vary across time and space.

description: For many materials, a precise knowledge of their dispersion spectra is insufficient to predict their ordered phases and physical responses. Instead, these materials are classified by the geometrical and topological properties of their wavefunctions. A key challenge is to identify and implement experiments that probe or control these quantum properties. In this review, we describe recent progress in this direction, focusing on nonlinear electromagnetic responses that arise directly from quantum geometry and topology. We give an overview of the field by discussing new theoretical ideas, groundbreaking experiments, and the novel materials that drive them. We conclude by discussing how these techniques can be combined with new device architectures to uncover, probe, and ultimately control novel quantum phases with emergent topological and correlated properties.

Failed Supernova Remnants

description: In a failed supernova, partial ejection of the progenitor's outer envelope can occur due to weakening of the core's gravity by neutrino emission in the protoneutron star phase. We consider emission when this ejecta sweeps up the circumstellar material, analogous to supernova remnants (SNRs). We focus on failed explosions of blue supergiants, and find that the emission can be bright in soft X-rays. Due to its soft emission, we find that sources in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are more promising to detect than those in the Galactic disk. These remnants are characteristic in smallness ($\lesssim 10$ pc) and slowness (100s of ${\rm km\ s^{-1}}$) compared to typical SNRs. Although the expected number of detectable sources is small (up to a few by eROSITA 4-year all-sky survey), prospects are better for deeper surveys targeting the LMC. Detection of these failed SNRs will realize observational studies of mass ejection upon black hole formation.

description: We prove that any finite polyhedral manifold in 3D can be continuously flattened into 2D while preserving intrinsic distances and avoiding crossings, answering a 19-year-old open problem, if we extend standard folding models to allow for countably infinite creases. The most general cases previously known to be continuously flattenable were convex polyhedra and semi-orthogonal polyhedra. For non-orientable manifolds, even the existence of an instantaneous flattening (flat folded state) is a new result. Our solution extends a method for flattening semi-orthogonal polyhedra: slice the polyhedron along parallel planes and flatten the polyhedral strips between consecutive planes. We adapt this approach to arbitrary nonconvex polyhedra by generalizing strip flattening to nonorthogonal corners and slicing along a countably infinite number of parallel planes, with slices densely approaching every vertex of the manifold. We also show that the area of the polyhedron that needs to support moving creases (which are necessary for closed polyhedra by the Bellows Theorem) can be made arbitrarily small.

description: The stability of the dynamical states characterized by a uniform firing rate ({\it splay states}) is analyzed in a network of globally coupled leaky integrate-and-fire neurons. This is done by reducing the set of differential equations to a map that is investigated in the limit of large network size. We show that the stability of the splay state depends crucially on the ratio between the pulse--width and the inter-spike interval. More precisely, the spectrum of Floquet exponents turns out to consist of three components: (i) one that coincides with the predictions of the mean-field analysis [Abbott-van Vreesvijk, 1993]; (ii) a component measuring the instability of "finite-frequency" modes; (iii) a number of "isolated" eigenvalues that are connected to the characteristics of the single pulse and may give rise to strong instabilities (the Floquet exponent being proportional to the network size). Finally, as a side result, we find that the splay state can be stable even for inhibitory coupling.

Bistable nanomagnet as programmable phase inverter for spin waves

description: To realize spin wave logic gates programmable phase inverters are essential. We image with phase-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy propagating spin waves in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal consisting of dipolarly coupled magnetic nanostripes. We demonstrate phase shifts upon a single nanostripe of opposed magnetization. Using micromagnetic simulations we model our experimental finding in a wide parameter space of bias fields and wave vectors. We find that low-loss phase inversion is achieved, when the internal field of the oppositely magnetized nanostripe is tuned such that the latter supports a resonant standing spin wave mode with odd quantization number at the given frequency. Our results are key for the realization of phase inverters with optimized signal transmission.

title: Bank payout policy : evidence from three regulatory changes
Creators: name: Che Johari, Edie Erman
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: This thesis examines contemporary issues in bank payout policy. The thesis comprises three empirical studies, which investigate how different forms of regulation in the banking industry impact payout decisions. Chapter 2 examines the effect of deposit insurance coverage on bank payout policy. We find that banks most affected by the change in deposit insurance coverage pay lower dividends than less affected counterparts. This suggests that when deposit insurance coverage increases, the need for banks to signal their strength to uninsured depositors declines. Chapter 3 investigates the effect of deregulation and competition on bank payout policy. Using an exogenous measure of competition that captures regulatory induced changes to competition, we find that banks operating in states where extensive deregulation led to intensified competition pay lower dividends than counterparts operating in states where deregulation took place more slowly. Our findings are more pronounced for banks with lower expected future earnings. This suggests that competition reduces the ability of lower performing banks to continue paying dividends. We also find that regulatory scrutiny moderates the strength of the relationship between competition and bank dividends such that banks operating in states characterised by higher competition and lower regulatory scrutiny pay higher dividends than counterparts operating in similarly competitive states, but with greater regulatory scrutiny. Chapter 4 studies how a change in the supervision of bank capital distributions affects the information content of dividends regarding the future level and the volatility of bank profitability. Employing a 2012 change in Regulation Y that requires US banks with assets exceeding $50 billion to submit detailed capital plans for regulatory approval prior to any dividend payouts, we find that the increased supervision of capital distributions (following amendments to Regulation Y) improves the information content of dividends regarding the future level and volatility of bank profitability.
Migration of bosonic particles across a Mott insulator to superfluid phase interface

description: We consider a boundary between a Mott insulator and a superfluid region of a Bose-Hubbard model at unit filling. Initially both regions are decoupled and cooled to their respective ground states. We show that, after switching on a small tunneling rate between both regions, all particles of the Mott region migrate to the superfluid area. This migration takes place whenever the difference between the chemical potentials of both regions is less than the maximal energy of any eigenmode of the superfluid. We verify our results numerically with DMRG simulations and explain them analytically with a master equation approximation, finding good agreement between both approaches. Finally we carry out a feasibility study for the observation of the effect in coupled arrays of micro-cavities and optical lattices.

description: The shear viscosity of the crust might have a damping effect on the amplitude of r-modes of rotating neutron stars. This damping has implications for the emission of gravitational waves. We calculate the contribution to the shear viscosity coming from the ions using both semi-analytical methods, that consider binary collisions, and Molecular Dynamics simulations. We compare these results with the contribution coming from electrons. We study how the shear viscosity depends on density for conditions of interest in neutron star envelopes and outer crusts. In the low density limit, we find good agreement between results of our molecular dynamics simulations and classical semi-analytic calculations.

Exceptional points and domains of unitarity for a class of strongly non-Hermitian real-matrix Hamiltonians

description: A phenomenological Hamiltonian of a closed (i.e., unitary) quantum system is assumed to have an $N$ by $N$ real-matrix form composed of a unperturbed diagonal-matrix part $H^{(N)}_0$ and of a tridiagonal-matrix perturbation $λ\,W^{(N)}(λ)$. The requirement of the unitarity of the evolution of the system (i.e., of the diagonalizability and of the reality of the spectrum) restricts, naturally, the variability of the matrix elements to a "physical" domain ${\cal D}^{[N]} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. We fix the unperturbed matrix (simulating a non-equidistant, square-well-type unperturbed spectrum) and we only admit the maximally non-Hermitian antisymmetric-matrix perturbations. This yields the hiddenly Hermitian model with the measure of perturbation $λ$ and with the $d=N$ matrix elements which are, inside ${\cal D}^{[N]}$, freely variable. Our aim is to describe the quantum phase-transition boundary $\partial {\cal D}^{[N]}$ (alias exceptional-point boundary) at which the unitarity of the system is lost. Our main attention is paid to the strong-coupling extremes of stability, i.e., to the Kato's exceptional points of order $N$ (EPN) and to the (sharply spiked) shape of the boundary $\partial {\cal D}^{[N]}$ in their vicinity. The feasibility of our constructions is based on the use of the high-precision arithmetics in combination with the computer-assisted symbolic manipulations (including, in particular, the Gröbner basis elimination technique).

Subjects: stock warrant, equity right, warrant valuation

description: An equity warrant is an option on the equity of a firm issued by the same firm, which gives the holder the right to purchase shares at a fixed price from the firm at a future date. When a warrant is exercised, the firm typically issues new shares at the exercise price to fill the order. The resulting increase in shares outstanding dilutes the share value.
