• The Kadison-Singer problem 

      [SNAP-2014-008-EN] Valette, Alain (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014)
      In quantum mechanics, unlike in classical mechanics, one cannot make precise predictions about how a system will behave. Instead, one is concerned with mere probabilities. Consequently, it is a very important task to ...

      We investigate the correspondence between holomorphic automorphic forms on the upper half-plane with complex weight and parabolic cocycles. For integral weights at least 2 this correspondence is given by the Eichler integral. ...
    • Weak Expansiveness for Actions of Sofic Groups 

      [OWP-2014-05] Chung, Nhan-Phu; Zhang, Guohua (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014-04-25)
      In this paper, we shall introduce $h$-expansiveness and asymptotical $h$-expansiveness for actions of sofic groups. By the definitions, each h-expansive action of sofic groups is asymptotically $h$-expansive. We show that ...
    • Varieties of Invariant Subspaces Given by Littlewood-Richardson Tableaux

      Given partitions $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$, the short exact sequences $0 \rightarrow N_\alpha \rightarrow N_\beta \rightarrow N_\gamma \rightarrow 0$ of nilpotent linear operators of Jordan types $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$, ...
    • Spectral triples and finite summability on Cuntz-Krieger algebras 

      [OWP-2014-03] Goffeng, Magnus; Mesland, Bram (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014-05-13)
      We produce a variety of odd bounded Fredholm modules and odd spectral triples on Cuntz-Krieger algebras by means of realizing these algebras as "the algebra of functions on a non-commutative space" coming from a sub shift ...
