DESCRIPTION:\n	The Department of Mathematics and Statistics invites you to a
 ttend the Ph.D. Oral Defense of Mr. Anusar Farooqui.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nWe con
 sider the effect of spacetime geometry on the intrinsic spin of test parti
 cles. Specifically\, we isolate and study the transformation of the intrin
 sic spin of photons and Dirac particles as they propagate along geodesics 
 in Kerr geometry. Reference frames play a crucial role in the definition a
 nd measurement of the intrinsic spin of test particles. We show how observ
 ers located in the outer geometry of Kerr black holes may exploit the symm
 etries of the geometry to set up reference frames using purely geometric\,
  locally-available information. Armed with these geometrically-defined ref
 erence frames\, we investigate the geometrically-induced precession of tes
 t particles in the outer geometry of Kerr black holes. We analyze the intr
 insic spin of both photons propagating along null geodesics and Dirac part
 icles propagating along timelike geodesics. COMMITTEE MEMBERS\n\nChair\n	Pr
