  text: "Deep learning is best known for its empirical success across a wide range
    of applications\r\nspanning computer vision, natural language processing and speech.
    Of equal significance,\r\nthough perhaps less known, are its ramifications for
    learning theory: deep networks have\r\nbeen observed to perform surprisingly well
    in the high-capacity regime, aka the overfitting\r\nor underspecified regime.
    Classically, this regime on the far right of the bias-variance curve\r\nis associated
    with poor generalisation; however, recent experiments with deep networks\r\nchallenge
    this view.\r\n\r\nThis thesis is devoted to investigating various aspects of underspecification
    in deep learning.\r\nFirst, we argue that deep learning models are underspecified
    on two levels: a) any given\r\ntraining dataset can be fit by many different functions,
    and b) any given function can be\r\nexpressed by many different parameter configurations.
    We refer to the second kind of\r\nunderspecification as parameterisation redundancy
    and we precisely characterise its extent.\r\nSecond, we characterise the implicit
    criteria (the inductive bias) that guide learning in the\r\nunderspecified regime.
    Specifically, we consider a nonlinear but tractable classification\r\nsetting,
    and show that given the choice, neural networks learn classifiers with a large
    margin.\r\nThird, we consider learning scenarios where the inductive bias is not
    by itself sufficient to\r\ndeal with underspecification. We then study different
    ways of ‘tightening the specification’: i)\r\nIn the setting of representation
    learning with variational autoencoders, we propose a hand-\r\ncrafted regulariser
    based on mutual information. ii) In the setting of binary classification, we\r\nconsider
    soft-label (real-valued) supervision. We derive a generalisation bound for linear\r\nnetworks
    supervised in this way and verify that soft labels facilitate fast learning. Finally,
    we\r\nexplore an application of soft-label supervision to the training of multi-exit
    models."

  text: "We show that turbulent dynamics that arise in simulations of the three-dimensional
    Navier--Stokes equations in a triply-periodic domain under sinusoidal forcing
    can be described as transient visits to the neighborhoods of unstable time-periodic
    solutions. Based on this description, we reduce the original system with more
    than 10^5 degrees of freedom to a 17-node Markov chain where each node corresponds
    to the neighborhood of a periodic orbit. The model accurately reproduces long-term
    averages of the system's observables as weighted sums over the periodic orbits.\r\n"

  text: Left-right asymmetries can be considered a fundamental organizational principle
    of the vertebrate central nervous system. The hippocampal CA3-CA1 pyramidal cell
    synaptic connection shows an input-side dependent asymmetry where the hemispheric
    location of the presynaptic CA3 neuron determines the synaptic properties. Left-input
    synapses terminating on apical dendrites in stratum radiatum have a higher density
    of NMDA receptor subunit GluN2B, a lower density of AMPA receptor subunit GluA1
    and smaller areas with less often perforated PSDs. On the other hand, left-input
    synapses terminating on basal dendrites in stratum oriens have lower GluN2B densities
    than right-input ones. Apical and basal synapses further employ different signaling
    pathways involved in LTP. SDS-digested freeze-fracture replica labeling can visualize
    synaptic membrane proteins with high sensitivity and resolution, and has been
    used to reveal the asymmetry at the electron microscopic level. However, it requires
    time-consuming manual demarcation of the synaptic surface for quantitative measurements.
    To facilitate the analysis of replica labeling, I first developed a software named
    Darea, which utilizes deep-learning to automatize this demarcation. With Darea
    I characterized the synaptic distribution of NMDA and AMPA receptors as well as
    the voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in CA1 stratum radiatum and oriens. Second, I
    explored the role of GluN2B and its carboxy-terminus in the establishment of input-side
    dependent hippocampal asymmetry. In conditional knock-out mice lacking GluN2B
    expression in CA1 and GluN2B-2A swap mice, where GluN2B carboxy-terminus was exchanged
    to that of GluN2A, no significant asymmetries of GluN2B, GluA1 and PSD area were
    detected. We further discovered a previously unknown functional asymmetry of GluN2A,
    which was also lost in the swap mouse. These results demonstrate that GluN2B carboxy-terminus
    plays a critical role in normal formation of input-side dependent asymmetry.

  text: The convex grabbing game is a game where two players, Alice and Bob, alternate
    taking extremal points from the convex hull of a point set on the plane. Rational
    weights are given to the points. The goal of each player is to maximize the total
    weight over all points that they obtain. We restrict the setting to the case of
    binary weights. We show a construction of an arbitrarily large odd-sized point
    set that allows Bob to obtain almost 3/4 of the total weight. This construction
    answers a question asked by Matsumoto, Nakamigawa, and Sakuma in [Graphs and Combinatorics,
    36/1 (2020)]. We also present an arbitrarily large even-sized point set where
    Bob can obtain the entirety of the total weight. Finally, we discuss conjectures
    about optimum moves in the convex grabbing game for both players in general.

  text: "Cytoplasmic reorganizations are essential for morphogenesis. In large cells
    like oocytes, these reorganizations become crucial in patterning the oocyte for
    later stages of embryonic development. Ascidians oocytes reorganize their cytoplasm
    (ooplasm) in a spectacular manner. Ooplasmic reorganization is initiated at fertilization
    with the contraction of the actomyosin cortex along the animal-vegetal axis of
    the oocyte, driving the accumulation of cortical endoplasmic reticulum (cER),
    maternal mRNAs associated to it and a mitochondria-rich subcortical layer – the
    myoplasm – in a region of the vegetal pole termed contraction pole (CP). Here
    we have used the species Phallusia mammillata to investigate the changes in cell
    shape that accompany these reorganizations and the mechanochemical mechanisms
    underlining CP formation.\r\nWe report that the length of the animal-vegetal (AV)
    axis oscillates upon fertilization: it first undergoes a cycle of fast elongation-lengthening
    followed by a slow expansion of mainly the vegetal pole (VP) of the cell. We show
    that the fast oscillation corresponds to a dynamic polarization of the actin cortex
    as a result of a fertilization-induced increase in cortical tension in the oocyte
    that triggers a rupture of the cortex at the animal pole and the establishment
    of vegetal-directed cortical flows. These flows are responsible for the vegetal
    accumulation of actin causing the VP to flatten. \r\nWe find that the slow expansion
    of the VP, leading to CP formation, correlates with a relaxation of the vegetal
    cortex and that the myoplasm plays a role in the expansion. We show that the myoplasm
    is a solid-like layer that buckles under compression forces arising from the contracting
    actin cortex at the VP. Straightening of the myoplasm when actin flows stops,
    facilitates the expansion of the VP and the CP. Altogether, our results present
    a previously unrecognized role for the myoplasm in ascidian ooplasmic segregation.

  text: "Most real-world flows are multiphase, yet we know little about them compared
    to their single-phase counterparts. Multiphase flows are more difficult to investigate
    as their dynamics occur in large parameter space and involve complex phenomena
    such as preferential concentration, turbulence modulation, non-Newtonian rheology,
    etc. Over the last few decades, experiments in particle-laden flows have taken
    a back seat in favour of ever-improving computational resources. However, computers
    are still not powerful enough to simulate a real-world fluid with millions of
    finite-size particles. Experiments are essential not only because they offer a
    reliable way to investigate real-world multiphase flows but also because they
    serve to validate numerical studies and steer the research in a relevant direction.
    In this work, we have experimentally investigated particle-laden flows in pipes,
    and in particular, examined the effect of particles on the laminar-turbulent transition
    and the drag scaling in turbulent flows.\r\n\r\nFor particle-laden pipe flows,
    an earlier study [Matas et al., 2003] reported how the sub-critical (i.e., hysteretic)
    transition that occurs via localised turbulent structures called puffs is affected
    by the addition of particles. In this study, in addition to this known transition,
    we found a super-critical transition to a globally fluctuating state with increasing
    particle concentration. At the same time, the Newtonian-type transition via puffs
    is delayed to larger Reynolds numbers. At an even higher concentration, only the
    globally fluctuating state is found. The dynamics of particle-laden flows are
    hence determined by two competing instabilities that give rise to three flow regimes:
    Newtonian-type turbulence at low, a particle-induced globally fluctuating state
    at high, and a coexistence state at intermediate concentrations.\r\n\r\nThe effect
    of particles on turbulent drag is ambiguous, with studies reporting drag reduction,
    no net change, and even drag increase. The ambiguity arises because, in addition
    to particle concentration, particle shape, size, and density also affect the net
    drag. Even similar particles might affect the flow dissimilarly in different Reynolds
    number and concentration ranges. In the present study, we explored a wide range
    of both Reynolds number and concentration, using spherical as well as cylindrical
    particles. We found that the spherical particles do not reduce drag while the
    cylindrical particles are drag-reducing within a specific Reynolds number interval.
    The interval strongly depends on the particle concentration and the relative size
    of the pipe and particles. Within this interval, the magnitude of drag reduction
    reaches a maximum. These drag reduction maxima appear to fall onto a distinct
    power-law curve irrespective of the pipe diameter and particle concentration,
    and this curve can be considered as the maximum drag reduction asymptote for a
    given fibre shape. Such an asymptote is well known for polymeric flows but had
    not been identified for particle-laden flows prior to this work."

  text: This thesis is the result of the research carried out by the author during
    his PhD at IST Austria between 2017 and 2021. It mainly focuses on the Fröhlich
    polaron model, specifically to its regime of strong coupling. This model, which
    is rigorously introduced and discussed in the introduction, has been of great
    interest in condensed matter physics and field theory for more than eighty years.
    It is used to describe an electron interacting with the atoms of a solid material
    (the strength of this interaction is modeled by the presence of a coupling constant
    α in the Hamiltonian of the system). The particular regime examined here, which
    is mathematically described by considering the limit α →∞, displays many interesting
    features related to the emergence of classical behavior, which allows for a simplified
    effective description of the system under analysis. The properties, the range
    of validity and a quantitative analysis of the precision of such classical approximations
    are the main object of the present work. We specify our investigation to the study
    of the ground state energy of the system, its dynamics and its effective mass.
    For each of these problems, we provide in the introduction an overview of the
    previously known results and a detailed account of the original contributions
    by the author.

  text: "The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is a prospective near-term
    quantum algorithm due to its modest circuit depth and promising benchmarks. However,
    an external parameter optimization required in the QAOA could become a performance
    bottleneck. This motivates studies of the optimization landscape and search for
    heuristic ways of parameter initialization. In this work we visualize the optimization
    landscape of the QAOA applied to the MaxCut problem on random graphs, demonstrating
    that random initialization of the QAOA is prone to converging to local minima
    with suboptimal performance. We introduce the initialization of QAOA parameters
    based on the Trotterized quantum annealing (TQA) protocol, parameterized by the
    Trotter time step. We find that the TQA initialization allows to circumvent\r\nthe
    issue of false minima for a broad range of time steps, yielding the same performance
    as the best result out of an exponentially scaling number of random initializations.
    Moreover, we demonstrate that the optimal value of the time step coincides with
    the point of proliferation of Trotter errors in quantum annealing. Our results
    suggest practical ways of initializing QAOA protocols on near-term quantum devices
    and reveal new connections between QAOA and quantum annealing."

  text: Triangle mesh-based simulations are able to produce satisfying animations
    of knitted and woven cloth; however, they lack the rich geometric detail of yarn-level
    simulations. Naive texturing approaches do not consider yarn-level physics, while
    full yarn-level simulations may become prohibitively expensive for large garments.
    We propose a method to animate yarn-level cloth geometry on top of an underlying
    deforming mesh in a mechanics-aware fashion. Using triangle strains to interpolate
    precomputed yarn geometry, we are able to reproduce effects such as knit loops
    tightening under stretching. In combination with precomputed mesh animation or
    real-time mesh simulation, our method is able to animate yarn-level cloth in real-time
    at large scales.

  text: "Automated contract tracing aims at supporting manual contact tracing during
    pandemics by alerting users of encounters with infected people. There are currently
    many proposals for protocols (like the “decentralized” DP-3T and PACT or the “centralized”
    ROBERT and DESIRE) to be run on mobile phones, where the basic idea is to regularly
    broadcast (using low energy Bluetooth) some values, and at the same time store
    (a function of) incoming messages broadcasted by users in their proximity. In
    the existing proposals one can trigger false positives on a massive scale by an
    “inverse-Sybil” attack, where a large number of devices (malicious users or hacked
    phones) pretend to be the same user, such that later, just a single person needs
    to be diagnosed (and allowed to upload) to trigger an alert for all users who
    were in proximity to any of this large group of devices.\r\n\r\nWe propose the
    first protocols that do not succumb to such attacks assuming the devices involved
    in the attack do not constantly communicate, which we observe is a necessary assumption.
    The high level idea of the protocols is to derive the values to be broadcasted
    by a hash chain, so that two (or more) devices who want to launch an inverse-Sybil
    attack will not be able to connect their respective chains and thus only one of
    them will be able to upload. Our protocols also achieve security against replay,
    belated replay, and one of them even against relay attacks."

  text: 'Extending on ideas of Lewin, Lieb, and Seiringer [Phys. Rev. B 100, 035127
    (2019)], we present a modified “floating crystal” trial state for jellium (also
    known as the classical homogeneous electron gas) with density equal to a characteristic
    function. This allows us to show that three definitions of the jellium energy
    coincide in dimensions d ≥ 2, thus extending the result of Cotar and Petrache
    [“Equality of the Jellium and uniform electron gas next-order asymptotic terms
    for Coulomb and Riesz potentials,” arXiv: 1707.07664 (2019)] and Lewin, Lieb,
    and Seiringer [Phys. Rev. B 100, 035127 (2019)] that the three definitions coincide
    in dimension d ≥ 3. We show that the jellium energy is also equivalent to a “renormalized
    energy” studied in a series of papers by Serfaty and others, and thus, by the
    work of Bétermin and Sandier [Constr. Approximation 47, 39–74 (2018)], we relate
    the jellium energy to the order n term in the logarithmic energy of n points on
    the unit 2-sphere. We improve upon known lower bounds for this renormalized energy.
    Additionally, we derive formulas for the jellium energy of periodic configurations.'

  text: Eigenstate thermalization in quantum many-body systems implies that eigenstates
    at high energy are similar to random vectors. Identifying systems where at least
    some eigenstates are nonthermal is an outstanding question. In this Letter we
    show that interacting quantum models that have a nullspace—a degenerate subspace
    of eigenstates at zero energy (zero modes), which corresponds to infinite temperature,
    provide a route to nonthermal eigenstates. We analytically show the existence
    of a zero mode which can be represented as a matrix product state for a certain
    class of local Hamiltonians. In the more general case we use a subspace disentangling
    algorithm to generate an orthogonal basis of zero modes characterized by increasing
    entanglement entropy. We show evidence for an area-law entanglement scaling of
    the least-entangled zero mode in the broad parameter regime, leading to a conjecture
    that all local Hamiltonians with the nullspace feature zero modes with area-law
    entanglement scaling and, as such, break the strong thermalization hypothesis.
    Finally, we find zero modes in constrained models and propose a setup for observing
    their experimental signatures.

  text: Nitrate commands genome-wide gene expression changes that impact metabolism,
    physiology, plant growth, and development. In an effort to identify new components
    involved in nitrate responses in plants, we analyze the Arabidopsis thaliana root
    phosphoproteome in response to nitrate treatments via liquid chromatography coupled
    to tandem mass spectrometry. 176 phosphoproteins show significant changes at 5
    or 20 min after nitrate treatments. Proteins identified by 5 min include signaling
    components such as kinases or transcription factors. In contrast, by 20 min, proteins
    identified were associated with transporter activity or hormone metabolism functions,
    among others. The phosphorylation profile of NITRATE TRANSPORTER 1.1 (NRT1.1)
    mutant plants was significantly altered as compared to wild-type plants, confirming
    its key role in nitrate signaling pathways that involves phosphorylation changes.
    Integrative bioinformatics analysis highlights auxin transport as an important
    mechanism modulated by nitrate signaling at the post-translational level. We validated
    a new phosphorylation site in PIN2 and provide evidence that it functions in primary
    and lateral root growth responses to nitrate.

  text: 'This work is concerned with two fascinating circuit quantum electrodynamics
    components, the Josephson junction and the geometric superinductor, and the interesting
    experiments that can be done by combining the two. The Josephson junction has
    revolutionized the field of superconducting circuits as a non-linear dissipation-less
    circuit element and is used in almost all superconducting qubit implementations
    since the 90s. On the other hand, the superinductor is a relatively new circuit
    element introduced as a key component of the fluxonium qubit in 2009. This is
    an inductor with characteristic impedance larger than the resistance quantum and
    self-resonance frequency in the GHz regime. The combination of these two elements
    can occur in two fundamental ways: in parallel and in series. When connected in
    parallel the two create the fluxonium qubit, a loop with large inductance and
    a rich energy spectrum reliant on quantum tunneling. On the other hand placing
    the two elements in series aids with the measurement of the IV curve of a single
    Josephson junction in a high impedance environment. In this limit theory predicts
    that the junction will behave as its dual element: the phase-slip junction. While
    the Josephson junction acts as a non-linear inductor the phase-slip junction has
    the behavior of a non-linear capacitance and can be used to measure new Josephson
    junction phenomena, namely Coulomb blockade of Cooper pairs and phase-locked Bloch
    oscillations. The latter experiment allows for a direct link between frequency
    and current which is an elusive connection in quantum metrology. This work introduces
    the geometric superinductor, a superconducting circuit element where the high
    inductance is due to the geometry rather than the material properties of the superconductor,
    realized from a highly miniaturized superconducting planar coil. These structures
    will be described and characterized as resonators and qubit inductors and progress
    towards the measurement of phase-locked Bloch oscillations will be presented.'

  text: The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs and it is composed
    of billions of neurons that communicate together enabling e.g. consciousness.
    The cerebral cortex is the largest site of neural integration in the central nervous
    system. Concerted radial migration of newly born cortical projection neurons,
    from their birthplace to their final position, is a key step in the assembly of
    the cerebral cortex. The cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating radial neuronal
    migration in vivo are however still unclear. Recent evidence suggests that distinct
    signaling cues act cell-autonomously but differentially at certain steps during
    the overall migration process. Moreover, functional analysis of genetic mosaics
    (mutant neurons present in wild-type/heterozygote environment) using the MADM
    (Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers) analyses in comparison to global knockout
    also indicate a significant degree of non-cell-autonomous and/or community effects
    in the control of cortical neuron migration. The interactions of cell-intrinsic
    (cell-autonomous) and cell-extrinsic (non-cell-autonomous) components are largely
    unknown. In part of this thesis work we established a MADM-based experimental
    strategy for the quantitative analysis of cell-autonomous gene function versus
    non-cell-autonomous and/or community effects. The direct comparison of mutant
    neurons from the genetic mosaic (cell-autonomous) to mutant neurons in the conditional
    and/or global knockout (cell-autonomous + non-cell-autonomous) allows to quantitatively
    analyze non-cell-autonomous effects. Such analysis enable the high-resolution
    analysis of projection neuron migration dynamics in distinct environments with
    concomitant isolation of genomic and proteomic profiles. Using these experimental
    paradigms and in combination with computational modeling we show and characterize
    the nature of non-cell-autonomous effects to coordinate radial neuron migration.
    Furthermore, this thesis discusses recent developments in neurodevelopment with
    focus on neuronal polarization and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms in neuronal
    migration.

  text: "Blood – this is what animals use to heal wounds fast and efficient. Plants
    do not have blood circulation and their cells cannot move. However, plants have
    evolved remarkable capacities to regenerate tissues and organs preventing further
    damage. In my PhD research, I studied the wound healing in the Arabidopsis root.
    I used a UV laser to ablate single cells in the root tip and observed the consequent
    wound healing. Interestingly, the inner adjacent cells induced a\r\ndivision plane
    switch and subsequently adopted the cell type of the killed cell to replace it.
    We termed this form of wound healing “restorative divisions”. This initial observation
    triggered the questions of my PhD studies: How and why do cells orient their division
    planes, how do they feel the wound and why does this happen only in inner adjacent
    cells.\r\nFor answering these questions, I used a quite simple experimental setup:
    5 day - old seedlings were stained with propidium iodide to visualize cell walls
    and dead cells; ablation was carried out using a special laser cutter and a confocal
    microscope. Adaptation of the novel vertical microscope system made it possible
    to observe wounds in real time. This revealed that restorative divisions occur
    at increased frequency compared to normal divisions. Additionally,\r\nthe major
    plant hormone auxin accumulates in wound adjacent cells and drives the expression
    of the wound-stress responsive transcription factor ERF115. Using this as a marker
    gene for wound responses, we found that an important part of wound signalling
    is the sensing of the collapse of the ablated cell. The collapse causes a radical
    pressure drop, which results in strong tissue deformations. These deformations
    manifest in an invasion of the now free spot specifically by the inner adjacent
    cells within seconds, probably because of higher pressure of the inner tissues.
    Long-term imaging revealed that those deformed cells continuously expand towards
    the wound hole and that this is crucial for the restorative division. These wound-expanding
    cells exhibit an abnormal, biphasic polarity of microtubule arrays\r\nbefore the
    division. Experiments inhibiting cell expansion suggest that it is the biphasic
    stretching that induces those MT arrays. Adapting the micromanipulator aspiration
    system from animal scientists at our institute confirmed the hypothesis that stretching
    influences microtubule stability. In conclusion, this shows that microtubules
    react to tissue deformation\r\nand this facilitates the observed division plane
    switch. This puts mechanical cues and tensions at the most prominent position
    for explaining the growth and wound healing properties of plants. Hence, it shines
    light onto the importance of understanding mechanical signal transduction. "

  text: Indirect reciprocity is a mechanism for the evolution of cooperation based
    on social norms. This mechanism requires that individuals in a population observe
    and judge each other’s behaviors. Individuals with a good reputation are more
    likely to receive help from others. Previous work suggests that indirect reciprocity
    is only effective when all relevant information is reliable and publicly available.
    Otherwise, individuals may disagree on how to assess others, even if they all
    apply the same social norm. Such disagreements can lead to a breakdown of cooperation.
    Here we explore whether the predominantly studied ‘leading eight’ social norms
    of indirect reciprocity can be made more robust by equipping them with an element
    of generosity. To this end, we distinguish between two kinds of generosity. According
    to assessment generosity, individuals occasionally assign a good reputation to
    group members who would usually be regarded as bad. According to action generosity,
    individuals occasionally cooperate with group members with whom they would usually
    defect. Using individual-based simulations, we show that the two kinds of generosity
    have a very different effect on the resulting reputation dynamics. Assessment
    generosity tends to add to the overall noise and allows defectors to invade. In
    contrast, a limited amount of action generosity can be beneficial in a few cases.
    However, even when action generosity is beneficial, the respective simulations
    do not result in full cooperation. Our results suggest that while generosity can
    favor cooperation when individuals use the most simple strategies of reciprocity,
    it is disadvantageous when individuals use more complex social norms.

  text: The family of feedback alignment (FA) algorithms aims to provide a more biologically
    motivated alternative to backpropagation (BP), by substituting the computations
    that are unrealistic to be implemented in physical brains. While FA algorithms
    have been shown to work well in practice, there is a lack of rigorous theory proofing
    their learning capabilities. Here we introduce the first feedback alignment algorithm
    with provable learning guarantees. In contrast to existing work, we do not require
    any assumption about the size or depth of the network except that it has a single
    output neuron, i.e., such as for binary classification tasks. We show that our
    FA algorithm can deliver its theoretical promises in practice, surpassing the
    learning performance of existing FA methods and matching backpropagation in binary
    classification tasks. Finally, we demonstrate the limits of our FA variant when
    the number of output neurons grows beyond a certain quantity.

  text: We propose a neural information processing system obtained by re-purposing
    the function of a biological neural circuit model to govern simulated and real-world
    control tasks. Inspired by the structure of the nervous system of the soil-worm,
    C. elegans, we introduce ordinary neural circuits (ONCs), defined as the model
    of biological neural circuits reparameterized for the control of alternative tasks.
    We first demonstrate that ONCs realize networks with higher maximum flow compared
    to arbitrary wired networks. We then learn instances of ONCs to control a series
    of robotic tasks, including the autonomous parking of a real-world rover robot.
    For reconfiguration of the purpose of the neural circuit, we adopt a search-based
    optimization algorithm. Ordinary neural circuits perform on par and, in some cases,
    significantly surpass the performance of contemporary deep learning models. ONC
    networks are compact, 77% sparser than their counterpart neural controllers, and
    their neural dynamics are fully interpretable at the cell-level.

  text: 'In this thesis we study certain mathematical aspects of evolution. The two
    primary forces that drive an evolutionary process are mutation and selection.
    Mutation generates new variants in a population. Selection chooses among the variants
    depending on the reproductive rates of individuals. Evolutionary processes are
    intrinsically random – a new mutation that is initially present in the population
    at low frequency can go extinct, even if it confers a reproductive advantage.
    The overall rate of evolution is largely determined by two quantities: the probability
    that an invading advantageous mutation spreads through the population (called
    fixation probability) and the time until it does so (called fixation time). Both
    those quantities crucially depend not only on the strength of the invading mutation
    but also on the population structure. In this thesis, we aim to understand how
    the underlying population structure affects the overall rate of evolution. Specifically,
    we study population structures that increase the fixation probability of advantageous
    mutants (called amplifiers of selection). Broadly speaking, our results are of
    three different types: We present various strong amplifiers, we identify regimes
    under which only limited amplification is feasible, and we propose population
    structures that provide different tradeoffs between high fixation probability
    and short fixation time.'
