    • Global Variants of Hartogs' Theorem 

      [OWP-2018-24] Bochnak, Jacek; Kucharz, Wojciech (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-11-06)
      Hartogs' theorem asserts that a separately holomorphic function, defined on an open subset of $\mathbb{C}^n$, is holomorphic in all the variables. We prove a global variant of this theorem for functions defined on an open ...
    • Criteria for Algebraicity of Analytic Functions 

      [OWP-2018-25] Bochnak, Jacek; Gwoździewicz, Janusz; Kucharz, Wojciech (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-11-12)
      We consider functions defined on an open subset of a nonsingular, either real or complex, algebraic set. We give criteria for an analytic function to be a Nash (resp. regular, resp. polynomial) function. Our criteria depend ...
    • Sur le Minimum de la Fonction de Brjuno 

      [OWP-2018-26] Balazard, Michel; Martin, Bruno (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-12-11)
      The Brjuno function attains a strict global minimum at the golden section.
    • Spectral Continuity for Aperiodic Quantum Systems II. Periodic Approximations in 1D 

      [OWP-2018-27] Beckus, Siegfried; Bellissard, Jean; De Nittis, Giuseppe (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-12-17)
      The existence and construction of periodic approximations with convergent spectra is crucial in solid state physics for the spectral study of corresponding Schrödinger operators. In a forthcoming work [9] this task was ...
    • The Tutte Polynomial of Ideal Arrangements 

      [OWP-2018-28] Randriamaro, Hery (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-12-21)
      The Tutte polynomial is originally a bivariate polynomial enumerating the colorings of a graph and of its dual graph. But it reveals more of the internal structure of the graph like its number of forests, of spanning ...
    • Mixed volumes and mixed integrals 

      [SNAP-2018-014-EN] Rotem, Liran (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-12-29)
      In recent years, mathematicians have developed new approaches to study convex sets: instead of considering convex sets themselves, they explore certain functions or measures that are related to them. Problems from ...
    • Estimating the volume of a convex body 

      [SNAP-2018-015-EN] Baldin, Nicolai (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-12-30)
      Sometimes the volume of a convex body needs to be estimated, if we cannot calculate it analytically. We explain how statistics can be used not only to approximate the volume of the convex body, but also its shape.
