The development of internationalisation policy in UK higher education
(2002)This study is concerned with examining the process of the intemationdsation of education and teaching within UK higher education in general, and in particular, with the impact on the working practices, values and norms ... -
The moduli stack of vector bundles on a curve (Pre-published Version)
(Ramanujan Mathematical Society, 2010)This expository text tries to explain brie y and not too technically the notions of stack and algebraic stack, emphasizing as an example the moduli stack of vector bundles on an algebraic curve. -
Professional identity in early childhood care and education: perspectives of pre-school and infant teachers (Pre-Published Version)
(Routledge, 2010)This paper explores perceptions of professional identity in the early childhood care and educations sector (ECCE) in the Republic of Ireland (ROI). It is concerned with the status, salary and conditions of those working ... -
Pupils' and teachers' perceptions of a culminating festival within a sport education season in Irish primary schools
(Routledge Taylor and Francis, 2009)Background: Whilst there is considerable literature on Sport Education [SE] little attention has been afforded to an investigation into the use of a specific festival as a culmination to a season. Purpose: The purpose ... -
Locating quality in early childhood care and education discourse in Ireland: pre-school and infant classrooms as a crucible for learning and development
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2011)This study examines the extent to which national and international early childhood policy becomes embedded as an everyday phenomenon in pre-school and primary contexts. Located within an ecological contextual framework ... -
Irish primary school teachers' experiences with Sport Education
(Routledge Taylor and Francis, 2012)Recent reviews illustrate the considerable literature on Sport Education (e.g. Kinchin, 2006; Wallhead & O’Sullivan, 2005). However, research on the experiences of non-specialist physical education teachers attempting Sport ... -
Trace forms of symbol algebras (Pre-published version)
(World Scientific Publishing Complany, 2012)Let S be a symbol algebra. The trace form of S is computed and it is shown how this form can be used to determine whether S is a division algebra or not. In addition, the exterior powers of the trace form of S are computed. -
SU(5) heterotic standard model bundles (Pre-published version)
(Springer Verlag, 2012)We construct a class of stable SU(5) bundles on an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold with two sections, a variant of the ordinary Weierstrass fibration, which admits a free involution. The bundles are invariant under ... -
The Boden-Hu conjecture holds precisely up to rank eight (Pre-published version)
(Springer Verlag, 2004) -
Poincaré families of G-bundles on a curve (Pre-published version)
(Springer Verlag, 2012)Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field k. Consider the moduli space of stable principal G-bundles on a smooth projective curve C over k. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of ... -
New examples of stable bundles on Calabi-Yau threefolds (Pre-published Version)
(Oxford University Press, 2012)In this paper we present a construction of stable bundles on Calabi-Yau threefolds using the method of bundle extensions. This construction applies to any given Calabi-Yau threefold with h1 , 1 > 1. We give examples ... -
Independent parameters for special instanton bundles on P^{2n+1} (Pre-published Version)
(Elsevier, 2011)Motivated by Yang-Mills theory in 4n dimensions, and generalizing the notion due to Atiyah, Drinfeld, Hitchin and Manin for n = 1, Okonek, Spindler and Trautmann introduced instanton bundles and special instanton bundles ... -
Rationality and Poincaré families for vector bundles with extra structure on a curve (Pre-published version)
(Oxford University Press, 2007)Iterated Grassmannian bundles over moduli stacks of vector bundles on a curve are shown to be birational to an affine space times a moduli stack of degree 0 vector bundles, following the method of King and Schofield. ... -
The Picard group of a coarse moduli space of vector bundles in positive characteristic (Pre-published version)
(Versita, co-published with Springer Verlag., 2012)Let C be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Let Mss r,L denote the projective coarse moduli scheme of semistable rank r vector bundles over C with fixed determinant ... -
The meaning of partnership in development: lessons in development education
(Center for Global Education, 2011)A number of partnerships between Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the global North and South have been developed in recent decades with the aim of bridging the North/South knowledge divisions which currently exist. ... -
The Brauer group of moduli spaces of vector bundles over a real curve
(American Mathematical Society (AMS), 2011)Let X be a geometrically connected smooth projective curve of genus gX ≥ 2 over R. Let M(r, ξ) be the coarse moduli space of geometrically stable vector bundles E over X of rank r and determinant ξ, where ξ is a real point ... -
Stability of Arakelov bundles and tensor products without global sections
(Documenta Mathematica, 2003)This paper deals with Arakelov vector bundles over an arithmetic curve, i.e. over the set of places of a number field. The main result is that for each semistable bundle E, there is a bundle F such that E⊗F has at least ... -
The line on moduli stacks of principal bundles on a curve
(Documenta Mathematica, 2010)Let G be an affine reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k. We determine the Picard group of the moduli stacks of principal G–bundles on any smooth projective curve over k. -
Educating religiously toward a public spirituality
(Boston College, 2008)The question at the heart of this dissertation is: “How can Christian religious education help people know the value and importance of a healthy public/common life and further their interest and ability to participate in ...
