• #### Supertropical Quadratic Forms I ﻿

[OWP-2013-27] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013)
We initiate the theory of a quadratic form q over a semiring $R$. As customary, one can write $q(x+y)=q(x)+q(y)+b(x,y)$, where b is a companion bilinear form. But in contrast to the ring-theoretic case, the companion ...
• #### Supertropical semirings and supervaluations ﻿

[OWP-2010-05] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
We interpret a valuation $\upsilon$ on a ring $R$ as a map $\upsilon:R \rightarrow M$ into a so called bipotent semiring $M$ (the usual max-plus setting), and then define a supervaluation $\varphi$ as a suitable map into ...
• #### Sur le Minimum de la Fonction de Brjuno ﻿

[OWP-2018-26] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-12-11)
The Brjuno function attains a strict global minimum at the golden section.

• #### Surgery theory and geometry of representations ﻿

[OWS-11] (Birkhäuser Basel, 1988)
These notes were prepared for the DMV-Seminar held in Dusseldorf, Schloss Mickeln from June 28 to July 5, 1987. They consist of two parts which can be read independently. The reader is presumed to have a basic education ...
• #### A surprising connection between quantum mechanics and shallow water waves ﻿

[SNAP-2019-018-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2019-12-11)
We describe a connection between quantum mechanics and nonlinear wave equations and highlight a few problems at the forefront of modern research in the intersection of these areas.
• #### Swallowtail on the shore ﻿

[SNAP-2014-007-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014)
Platonic solids, Felix Klein, H.S.M. Coxeter and a flap of a swallowtail: The five Platonic solids tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron have always attracted much curiosity from mathematicians, not ...
• #### Swarming robots ﻿

[SNAP-2016-001-EN] (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 ...
• #### The Sylow Structure of Scalar Automorphism Groups ﻿

[OWP-2018-05] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-03-22)
For any locally compact abelian periodic group A its automorphism group contains as a subgroup those automorphisms that leave invariant every closed subgroup of A, to be denoted by SAut(A). This subgroup is again a locally ...
• #### Symmetry and characters of finite groups ﻿

[SNAP-2016-005-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016)
Over the last two centuries mathematicians have developed an elegant abstract framework to study the natural idea of symmetry. The aim of this snapshot is to gently guide the interested reader through these ideas. In ...
• #### The T-Graph of a Multigraded Hilbert Scheme ﻿

[OWP-2011-34] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011)
The $T$-graph of a multigraded Hilbert scheme records the zero and one-dimensional orbits of the $T=(K^*)^n$ action on the Hilbert scheme induced from the $T$-action on $\mathbb{A}^n$. It has vertices the $T$-fixed points, ...

• #### Tensor Representations of q(∞) ﻿

[OWP-2016-09] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016-06-17)
We introduce a symmetric monoidal category of modules over the direct limit queer superalgebra $\mathfrak{q}(\infty)$. The category can be defined in two equivalent ways with the aid of the large annihilator condition. ...
