This is dedicated to three very inspirational women in my life: Chen Mei–Peters, my mother Laraine Peters and Youxiang Wu; your support, encouragement and patience has made this possible. Mum, you instilled in me the qualities of scientific inquiry, the importance of questioning ideas and scientific rigour. This is especially for my dear Chen who bore witness to all the weekends in the library, the late nights reading papers and the ups and downs of toiling with mathematical proofs across many continents over the past few years.
