[OWP-2014-01] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014-04-25)
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 $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$, ...
• #### Vector bundles on degenerations of elliptic curves and Yang-Baxter equations ﻿

[OWP-2007-04] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2007-03-22)
In this paper we introduce the notion of a gemetric associative r-matrix attached to a genus one fibration with a section and irreducible fibres. It allows us to study degenerations of solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter ...

[OWP-2013-22] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013-10-29)
• #### 1140 - Very High Dimensional Semiparametric Models ﻿

[OWR-2011-48] (2011) - (02 Oct - 08 Oct 2011)
Very high dimensional semiparametric models play a major role in many areas, in particular in signal detection problems when sparse signals or sparse events are hidden among high dimensional noise. Concrete examples are ...
• #### Virtual Polytopes ﻿

[OWP-2015-02] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-04-10)
Originating in diverse branches of mathematics, from polytope algebra and toric varieties to the theory of stressed graphs, virtual polytopes represent a natural algebraic generalization of convex polytopes. Introduced as ...
• #### Visual analysis of Spanish male mortality ﻿

[SNAP-2015-012-ENSNAP-2015-012-DE] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)
[also available in German] Statistical visualization uses graphical methods to gain insights from data. Here we show how a technique called principal component analysis is used to analyze mortality in Spain over about the ...
