1. Metric Methods in Ergodic Theory
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Dynamiska system och talteoriSammanfattning : This bachelor's thesis discusses from an ergodic-theoretical perspective the "metric functional analysis" that Anders Karlsson and others have developed in the recent years. We introduce a new symbolic calculus for metric functionals which includes a notion of the adjoint of a nonexpansive map. LÄS MER
2. Compounding the Problem? : Gated Communities in Climate and Environmental Disaster Fiction
Master-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur (from 2013)Sammanfattning : The gated community motif occurs frequently within climate and environmental disaster fiction. This thesis investigates its occurrence across three media to establish how the gated community mode of living, as rendered in post-apocalyptic speculative fiction, responds to the threat and consequences of climate and environmental crisis.

4. A dynamical system with oscillating time average
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematik LTHSammanfattning : Given a discrete dynamical system T, one can ask what the time average of the system will be, that is, what is the average position of T^n(x) for large n? Birkhoff’s ergodic theorem, one of the most important results in ergodic theory, says that for an ergodic system on a finite measure space, the time average will in the limit as n -> infinity be equal to the space average for almost all initial values x. In this thesis we study time averages of a dynamical system T : [0, 1] -> [0, 1] that depends on a parameter alpha. LÄS MER
5. Back to a General Theory - An Essay in Persuasion
D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : Many Western countries experience failing monetary policy after the 2008 financial crisis. The lack of alternatives to established rules, even when they appear to fail, motivates a close look at the economic ideas John Maynard Keynes developed in his crisis-ridden lifetime, to answer the question: What can Keynes' writings contribute to the contemporary macroeconomic discussion? We trace from the publication of the General Theory (1936) until our time how macroeconomics has narrowed down into theoretical consensus, elevating policy recommendations developed in moderate times to an exclusive status of optimality.
