5.3 General formulae without the symmetric assumption 102 Acknowledgments First and foremost massive thanks are due to my supervisor ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ for guidance, support and help throughout the course of my PhD, especially when things (perhaps inevitably) became difficult. His deep subject knowledge, ability to generate ideas and sheer enthusiasm for the topic have all been invaluable, as has his ability to navigate through the administrative loops when required. I am also grateful to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ for a number of useful discussions, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ for sharing her insight in these areas. Throughout my time at War- wick I have been fortunate enough to be backed by a team of colleagues and visiting experts, and I would like to thank all of them for the assistance they provided. My work at Warwick was supported by an EPSRC grant. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit places as far away as Moscow, Seoul and Shanghai in the course of my studies and would like to thank ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ for inviting me and making sure I was suitably looked after. Thanks also must go to my friends ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for taking time out of their busy lives to help me feel welcome and show me around. My journey as a budding Mathematician star...

Without him, my research wouldn’t have been so fulfilling and exciting as it has been, or even possible. Furthermore, I would also like to thank my teachers throughout the years, especially ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. They are part of some of the most treasured memories I have kept from my journey in Mathematics so far. I am also grateful to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, for his help, guidance, and the fact that he was there to give me the tools to formulate crucial geometric arguments of my thesis. To my supportive partner, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, I would like to offer my deepest gratitude; for her peer review, emotional support, and the unmeasurable deal of help with LATEX. This thesis would not have been possible without my family in Greece, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as they provided more financial support they could afford. Also, their understanding to the challenges that writing a thesis poses could not go unmentioned. My special thanks also go to my friends ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇. They may have been far away, but our communication encouraged me and made this time in my life much easier. I would also like to thank ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, two peers and dear friends that I had the luck of meeting during the first year of my studies in Warwick. Their help and friendship has been invaluable. At this point I should thank my dear friends, ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Living in Coventry would have been a challenge, but they filled it with fu...
