Problems of Massive Gravity
Boybeyi, Töre Deniz; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2021-8-5)
In this thesis, the general properties of massive gravitation theories are outlined. Particular attention is given to the van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov discontinuity which arises in the massless limit of massive theories. Also, the observational, holographic, and thermodynamic properties of these theories are mentioned.
Results on complexity of multiplication over finite fields
Cenk, Murat; Özbudak, Ferruh; Department of Cryptography (2009)
Let n and l be positive integers and f (x) be an irreducible polynomial over Fq such that ldeg( f (x)) < 2n - 1, where q is 2 or 3. We obtain an effective upper bound for the multiplication complexity of n-term polynomials modulo f (x)^l. This upper bound allows a better selection of the moduli when Chinese Remainder Theorem is used for polynomial multiplication over Fq. We give improved formulae to multiply polynomials of small degree over Fq. In particular we improve the best known multiplication complexi...
STUDIES ON ALMOST PERFECT NONLINEAR FUNCTIONS
Batmaz Keskin, Güneş; Özbudak, Ferruh; Department of Cryptography (2022-9-01)
This thesis presents some parts of our continuing work on Almost Perfect Nonlinear( APN) Functions. Through this thesis, first of all the significance of APN functions and couple of generation methods for APN Functions are presented. Some methods are considered in a deeper context. Finally various algorithms to obtain functions related APN functions using Python programming language have implemented and some results are analyzed.
Studies on non-weakly regular bent functions and related structures
Pelen, Rumi Melih; Özbudak, Ferruh; Department of Mathematics (2020)
Interest in bent functions over finite fields arises both from mathematical theory and practical applications. There has been lots of literature addressing various properties of bent functions. They have a number of applications consisting of coding theory, cryptography, and sequence designs. They’re divided into four subclasses: regular bent functions that are contained within the class of weakly regular bent functions that are contained within the class of dual-bent functions. Additionally, there are non-...
Results on characterizations of plateaued functions in arbitrary characteristic
Mesnager, Sihem; Özbudak, Ferruh; Sınak, Ahmet (2016-01-01)
Bent and plateaued functions play a significant role in cryptography since they can have various desirable cryptographic properties. In this work, we first provide the characterizations of plateaued functions in terms of the moments of their Walsh transforms. Next, we generalize the characterizations of Boolean bent and plateaued functions in terms of their second-order derivatives to arbitrary characteristic. Moreover, we present a new characterization of plateaued functions in terms of fourth power moment...
