    • Polynomiality, wall crossings and tropical geometry of rational double hurwitz cycles 

      [OWP-2012-13] Bertram, Aaron; Cavalieri, Renzo; Markwig, Hannah (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2012-12-04)
      We study rational double Hurwitz cycles, i.e. loci of marked rational stable curves admitting a map to the projective line with assigned ramification profiles over two fixed branch points. Generalizing the phenomenon ...

    • Polytopes - combinatorics and computation 

      [OWS-29] Kalai, Gil; Ziegler, Günter M. (Birkhäuser Basel, 2000)
      Questions that arose from linear programming and combinatorial optimization have been a driving force for modern polytope theory, such as the diameter questions motivated by the desire to understand the complexity of the ...

    • 2210 - Population Dynamics and Statistical Physics in Synergy 

      [OWR-2022-12] (2022) - (06 Mar - 12 Mar 2022)
      Research at the interface between population dynamics and statistical physics has been developing rapidly, and represents a theme of growing interest worldwide. Population dynamics addresses fundamental questions about the ...

    • Positional Games 

      [OWS-44] Hefetz, Dan; Krivelevich, Michael; Stojaković, Miloš; Szabó, Tibor (Birkhäuser Basel, 2014)
      This text is based on a lecture course given by the authors in the framework of Oberwolfach Seminars at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in May, 2013. It is intended to serve as a thorough introduction to ...

    • Positive Line Bundles Over the Irreducible Quantum Flag Manifolds 

      [OWP-2020-01] Díaz García, Fredy; Krutov, Andrey; Ó Buachalla, Réamonn; Somberg, Petr; Strung, Karen R. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-02-03)
      Noncommutative Kähler structures were recently introduced by the third author as a framework for studying noncommutative Kähler geometry on quantum homogeneous spaces. It was subsequently observed that the notion of a ...

    • Positive Margins and Primary Decomposition 

      [OWP-2012-06] Kahle, Thomas; Rauh, Johannes; Sullivant, Seth (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2012)
      We study random walks on contingency tables with fixed marginals, corresponding to a (log-linear) hierarchical model. If the set of allowed moves is not a Markov basis, then there exist tables with the same marginals that ...

    • Positive recurrence of piecewise Orntein-Uhlenbeck processes and common quadratic Lyapunov functions 

      [OWP-2011-26] Dieker, A. B.; Gao, Xuefeng (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011)
      We study the positive recurrence of piecewise Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) diffusion processes, which arise from many-server queueing systems with phase-type service requirements. These diffusion processes exhibit different ...

    • Positive Scalar Curvature and Applications 

      [SNAP-2019-004-EN] Rosenberg, Jonathan; Wraith, David (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2019-04-25)
      We introduce the idea of curvature, including how it developed historically, and focus on the scalar curvature of a manifold. A major current research topic involves understanding positive scalar curvature. We discuss why ...

    • 0208a - Positivität von Polynomen 

      [TB-2002-8] (2002) - (17 Feb - 23 Feb 2002)

    • Positivity of the T-system cluster algebra 

      [OWP-2009-21] Di Francesco, Philippe; Kedem, Rinat (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2009-03-14)
      We give the path model solution for the cluster algebra variables of the $A_r$ T-system with generic boundary conditions. The solutions are partition functions of (strongly) non-intersecting paths on weighted graphs. The ...

    • A potential reduction algorithm for two-person zero-sum mean payoff stochastic games 

      [OWP-2015-19] Boros, Endre; Elbassioni, Khaled; Gurvich, Vladimir; Makino, Kazuhisa (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)
      We suggest a new algorithm for two-person zero-sum undiscounted stochastic games focusing on stationary strategies. Given a positive real $\epsilon$, let us call a stochastic game $\epsilon$-ergodic, if its values from any ...

    • Preconditioning of Block Tridiagonal Matrices 

      [OWP-2008-05] Axelsson, Owe; Karatson, Janos (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2008-03-09)
      Preconditioning methods via approximate block factorization for block tridiagonal matrices are studied. Bounds for the resulting condition numbers are given, and two methods for the recursive construction of the approximate ...

    • Prediction and Quantification of Individual Athletic Performance 

      [OWP-2015-11] Blythe, Duncan A. J.; Király, Franz J. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-08-27)
      We present a novel, quantitative view on the human athletic performance of individuals. We obtain a predictor for athletic running performances, a parsimonious model, and a training state summary consisting of three numbers, ...

    • Prime tuples in function fields 

      [SNAP-2016-010-EN] Bary-Soroker, Lior (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016)
      How many prime numbers are there? How are they distributed among other numbers? These are questions that have intrigued mathematicians since ancient times. However, many questions in this area have remained unsolved, and ...
