| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, we define and describe the rings of conditions of rank 1 spherical homogeneous spaces G/H. A procedure for computing the ring of conditions of a spherical homogeneous space in general is not known. For the special case of rank 1 spherical homogeneous spaces, we give a proof of the unpublished result of A. Khovanskii that the ring of conditions is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of a certain compactification of G/H. We illustrate this result through the fully worked example of affine n-space minus the origin. | en_US |

| dc.description.layabstract | We study an algebraic object that describes intersections of certain geometric spaces. An algorithm or formula for computing this object for a given geometric space is not known in general. We provide a technique for computing this algebraic object in a special case. | en_US |
