Ultrafilter methods in combinatorics
[SNAP-2021-006-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2021-06-25)Given a set X, ultrafilters determine which subsets of X should be considered as large. We illustrate the use of ultrafilter methods in combinatorics by discussing two cornerstone results in Ramsey theory, namely ... -
1911 - Uncertainty Quantification
[OWR-2019-12] (2019) - (10 Mar - 16 Mar 2019)Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is concerned with including and characterising uncertainties in mathematical models. Major steps comprise proper description of system uncertainties, analysis and efficient quantification ... -

Unexpected Properties of the Klein Configuration of 60 Points in $\mathbb{P}^3$
[OWP-2020-19] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-10-07)Felix Klein in course of his study of the regular and its symmetries encountered a highly symmetric configuration of 60 points in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This configuration has appeared in various guises, perhaps post notably as ... -
1340 - Uniform Distribution Theory and Applications
[OWR-2013-49] (2013) - (29 Sep - 05 Oct 2013)The topics of the workshop were recent progress in the theory of uniform distribution theory (also known as discrepancy theory) and new developments in its applications in analysis, approximation theory, computer science, ... -
A Uniform Model for Kirillov-Reshetikhin Crystals I: Lifting the Parabolic Quantum Bruhat Graph
[OWP-2012-18] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2012)We consider two lifts of the parabolic quantum Bruhat graph, one into the Bruhat order in the affine Weyl group and the other into a level-zero weight poset first considered by Littelmann. The lift into the affine Weyl ... -
2222 - Universality: Random Matrices, Random Geometry and SPDEs
[OWR-2022-27] (2022) - (29 May - 04 Jun 2022)The postulate that large random systems can be described by limiting objects whose characteristic do not depend on the exact details of the models one started from is central in probability theory, under the name of ... -
Upper bounds for the number of solutions to quartic thue equations
[OWP-2011-21] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011)We will give upper bounds for the number of integral solutions to quartic Thue equations. Our main tool here is a logarithmic curve $\phi(x,y)$ that allows us to use the theory of linear forms in logarithms. This manuscript ... -
Upper tails for intersection local times of random walks in supercritical dimensions
[OWP-2008-02] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-06)We determine the precise asymptotics of the logarithmic upper tail probability of the total intersection local time of $p$ independent random walks in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ under the assumption $p(d-2)>d$. Our approach allows a ... -
Urn Models & Operator Ordering Procedures
[OWP-2008-06] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-10)Ordering of operators is purely combinatorial task involving a number of commutators shuffling components of operator expression to desired form. Here we show how it can be illustrated by simple urn models in which normal ... -

[OWR-2014-49] (2014) - (26 Oct - 01 Nov 2014)In recent years, the applications of valuation theory in several areas of mathematics have expanded dramatically. In this workshop, we presented applications related to algebraic geometry, number theory and model theory, ... -
The Varchenko Determinant of a Coxeter Arrangement
[OWP-2017-33] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-11-24)The Varchenko determinant is the determinant of a matrix defined from an arrangement of hyperplanes. Varchenko proved that this determinant has a beautiful factorization. It is, however, not possible to use this factorization ... -
