Classification of exact structures using the Ziegler spectrum
Given an idempotent complete additive category, we show the there is an explicitly constructed topological space such that the lattice of exact substructures is anti-isomorphic to the lattice of closed subsets. In the special case that the additive category has weak cokernels, this topological space is an open subset of the Ziegler spectrum and this is a result of Kevin Schlegel. We also look at some module categories of rings where the Ziegler spectrum is known and calculate the global dimensi…

Optical spectroscopic signatures of the red giant evolutionary state
Modern spectroscopic surveys output large data volumes. Theoretical models provide a means to transform the information encoded in these data to measurements of physical stellar properties. However, in detail the models are incomplete and simplified, and prohibit interpretation of the fine details in spectra. Instead, the available data provide an opportunity to use data-driven, differential analysis techniques, as a means towards understanding spectral signatures. We deploy such an analysis to…
