    • 1651a - Mini-Workshop: New Interactions between Homotopical Algebra and Quantum Field Theory 

      [OWR-2016-58] (2016) - (18 Dec - 23 Dec 2016)
      Recent developments in quantum field theory strongly call for techniques from homotopical algebra to develop the mathematical foundations of quantum gauge theories. This mini-workshop brought together experts working at ...

    • Footballs and donuts in four dimensions 

      [SNAP-2016-012-EN] Klee, Steven (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016)
      In this snapshot, we explore connections between the mathematical areas of counting and geometry by studying objects called simplicial complexes. We begin by exploring many familiar objects in our three dimensional world ...

    • Towards a Mathematical Theory of Turbulence in Fluids 

      [SNAP-2016-015-EN] Bedrossian, Jacob (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016)
      Fluid mechanics is the theory of how liquids and gases move around. For the most part, the basic physics are well understood and the mathematical models look relatively simple. Despite this, fluids display a dazzling mystery ...

    • 1640 - Mathematical and Algorithmic Aspects of Data Assimilation in the Geosciences 

      [OWR-2016-47] (2016) - (02 Oct - 08 Oct 2016)
      The field of “Data Assimilation” has been driven by applications from the geosciences where complex mathematical models are interfaced with observational data in order to improve model forecasts. Mathematically, data ...

    • 1639 - Singularities 

      [OWR-2016-46] (2016) - (25 Sep - 01 Oct 2016)
      Singularity theory is a central part of contemporary mathematics. It is concerned with the local and global structure of maps and spaces that occur in algebraic, analytic or differential geometric context. For its study ...

    • Swarming robots 

      [SNAP-2016-001-EN] Egerstedt, Magnus (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016)
      When lots of robots come together to form shapes, spread in an area, or move in one direction, their motion has to be planned carefully. We discuss how mathematicians devise strategies to help swarms of robots behave like ...
