A Characterization of Homeomorphic Bernoulli Trial Measures. (open access)

A Characterization of Homeomorphic Bernoulli Trial Measures.

We give conditions which, given two Bernoulli trial measures, determine whether there exists a homeomorphism of Cantor space which sends one measure to the other, answering a question of Oxtoby. We then provide examples, relating these results to the notions of good and refinable measures on Cantor space.

A Computation of Partial Isomorphism Rank on Ordinal Structures (open access)

A Computation of Partial Isomorphism Rank on Ordinal Structures

We compute the partial isomorphism rank, in the sense Scott and Karp, of a pair of ordinal structures using an Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse game. A complete formula is proven by induction given any two arbitrary ordinals written in Cantor normal form.

Characterizations of Continua of Finite Degree (open access)

Characterizations of Continua of Finite Degree

In this thesis, some characterizations of continua of finite degree are given. It turns out that being of finite degree (by formal definition) can be described by saying there exists an equivalent metric in which Hausdorff linear measure of the continuum is finite. I discuss this result in detail.
