If two manifolds are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic then we call these manifolds exotic copies of each other. In this thesis, we will find examples of such manifolds in dimension 4. In order to find exotic copies, we make use of Kirby diagrams and we frequently use handle moves such as handle creation, handle cancellation and handle slide which are isotopies.

Calculation of the T-X phase diagram for the first-order smectic-hexatic transitions in binary mixtures Kilit Dogan, E.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2022-04-01) This work gives the T-X phase diagram calculated from the Landau mean field model for the smectic-hexatic transitions in binary mixtures, particularly, in THI-13+THI-17. It is calculated near the SmC-SmF (Hex F)-Hex B triple point by considering transitions of SmC-SmF, SmF-HexB, and SmC-Hex B as the first order. The phase line equations are fitted to the experimental T-X phase diagram from the literature for this binary mixture by assuming the temperature and concentration dependence of the coefficients in ...
Analysis of the Lambda b -> Lambda l(+)l(-) decay in QCD Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Savcı, Mustafa (2010-03-01) Taking into account the Lambda baryon distribution amplitudes and the most general form of the interpolating current of the Lambda(b), the semileptonic Lambda(b) --> Lambda l(+)l(-) transition is investigated in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules. Sum rules for all 12 form factors responsible for the Lambda(b) --> Lambda l(+)l(-) decay are constructed. The obtained results for the form factors are used to compute the branching fraction. A comparison of the obtained results with the existing predi...
Axial vector transition form factors of N -> Delta in QCD Küçükarslan, Ayşe; Özdem, Ulaş; Özpineci, Altuğ (Elsevier BV, 2016-12) The isovector axial vector form factors of N -> Delta transition are calculated by employing Light-cone QCD sum rules. The analytical results are analyzedby both the conventional method, and also by a Monte Carlo based approach which allows one to scan all of the parameter space. The predictions are also compared with the results in the literature, where available. Although the MonteCarlo analysis predicts large uncertainties in the predicted results, the predictions obtained by the conventional analysis ar...
Investigation of HMO spectra of Huckel and Mobius type cyclacenes Turker, L; Erkoç, Şakir (1997-01-01) The Huckel molecular orbital spectra (HMO) of Huckel- and Mobius-type cyclacenes having 3-15 benzenoid rings were investigated and it was found that certain eigenvalues are topologically invariant, whereas others exhibit topological periodicity. Fbr example, Huckel-type cyclacenes having 2r (r: 2,3,4,...) benzenoid rings which possess nonbonding molecular orbitals (NBMO) and are thus expected to be open shell structures.
Measurements of the associated production of a Z boson and b jets in pp collisions at root s=8 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (2017-11-01) Measurements of the associated production of a Z boson with at least one jet originating from a b quark in proton-proton collisions at root s = 8 TeV are presented. Differential cross sections are measured with data collected by the CMS experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.8 fb(-1). Z bosons are reconstructed through their decays to electrons and muons. Cross sections are measured as a function of observables characterizing the kinematics of the b jet and the Z boson. Ratios of differe...
