• #### Geometry of Free Loci and Factorization of Noncommutative Polynomials ﻿

[OWP-2017-23] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-02)
The free singularity locus of a noncommutative polynomial f is defined to be the sequence $Z_n(f)=\{X\in M_n^g : \det f(X)=0\}$ of hypersurfaces. The main theorem of this article shows that f is irreducible if and only if ...
• #### 0915b - Hilbert Modules and Complex Geometry ﻿

The major topics discussed in this workshop were Hilbert modules of analytic functions on domains in ℂn, Toeplitz and Hankel operators, the interplay of commutative algebra, complex analytic geometry and multivariable ...
• #### 1607b - Hochschild Cohomology in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology ﻿

[OWR-2016-10] (2016) - (14 Feb - 20 Feb 2016)
In 1945 Gerhard Hochschild published "On the cohomology groups of an associative algebra" in the Annals of Mathematics and thereby created what is now called Hochschild theory. In 1963, Murray Gerstenhaber proved that the ...
• #### Infeasibility certificates for linear matrix inequalities ﻿

[OWP-2011-28] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011-05-25)
Farkas' lemma is a fundamental result from linear programming providing linear certi cates for infeasibility of systems of linear inequalities. In semidefinite programming, such linear certificates only exist for strongly ...
• #### 0517 - Kommutative Algebra ﻿

[OWR-2005-19] (2005) - (24 Apr - 30 Apr 2005)
The lectures of the conference whose participants included a significant group of researchers from affine geometry were devoted to the following areas: characteristic p-methods, combinatorial commutative algebra and effective ...
• #### 0917 - Kommutative Algebra ﻿

[OWR-2009-22] (2009) - (19 Apr - 25 Apr 2009)
The workshop brought together researchers on various areas of Commutative Algebra. New results in combinatorial commutative algebra, homological methods and invariants, characteristic p-methods, and in general commutative ...
• #### Linear Syzygies, Hyperbolic Coxeter Groups and Regularity ﻿

[OWP-2017-15] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-05-24)
We build a new bridge between geometric group theory and commutative algebra by showing that the virtual cohomological dimension of a Coxeter group is essentially the regularity of the Stanley–Reisner ring of its nerve. ...
• #### Matchings and Squarefree Powers of Edge Ideals ﻿

[OWP-2019-25] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2019-11-11)
Squarefree powers of edge ideals are intimately related to matchings of the underlying graph. In this paper we give bounds for the regularity of squarefree powers of edge ideals, and we consider the question of when such ...
• #### 1336 - Matrix Factorizations in Algebra, Geometry, and Physics ﻿

[OWR-2013-44] (2013) - (01 Sep - 07 Sep 2013)
Let $W$ be a polynomial or power series in several variables, or, more generally, a nonzero element in some regular commutative ring. A matrix factorization of $W$ consists of a pair of square matrices $X$ and $Y$ of the ...
• #### A McKay Correspondence for Reflection Groups ﻿

[OWP-2018-14] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-07-02)
We construct a noncommutative desingularization of the discriminant of a finite reflection group $G$ as a quotient of the skew group ring $A=S*G$. If $G$ is generated by order two reflections, then this quotient identifies ...
• #### 1050c - Mini-Workshop: Algebraic and Analytic Techniques for Polynomial Vector Fields ﻿

[OWR-2010-57] (2010) - (12 Dec - 18 Dec 2010)
Polynomial vector fields are in the focus of research in various areas of mathematics and its applications. As a consequence, researchers from rather different disciplines work with polynomial vector fields. The main goal ...
