    • 1606c - Mini-Workshop: Mathematical Foundations of Isogeometric Analysis 

      [OWR-2016-8] (2016) - (07 Feb - 13 Feb 2016)
      Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) is a new paradigm which is designed to merge two so far disjoint disciplines, namely, numerical simulations for partial differential equations (PDEs) and applied geometry. Initiated by the ...
    • 2106c - Mini-Workshop: Nonpositively Curved Complexes (online meeting) 

      [OWR-2021-8] (2021) - (07 Feb - 13 Feb 2021)
      The leading theme of the meeting was to understand nonpositively curved complexes and groups acting on them. Motivations, questions, results, and techniques being presented and discussed come from various areas of ...
    • 1915b - Mini-Workshop: Reflection Groups in Negative Curvature 

      [OWR-2019-17] (2019) - (07 Apr - 13 Apr 2019)
      Discrete groups generated by reflections constitute an important source of examples of lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank $1$ (whose associated symmetric spaces are negatively curved). Yet a classification for ...
    • 2149b - Mini-Workshop: Scattering Amplitudes, Cluster Algebras, and Positive Geometries (hybrid meeting) 

      [OWR-2021-57] (2021) - (05 Dec - 11 Dec 2021)
      Cluster algebras were developed by Fomin and Zelevinsky about twenty years ago. While the initial motivation came from within algebra (total positivity, canonical bases), it quickly became clear that cluster algebras ...

      [OWR-2008-47] (2008) - (19 Oct - 25 Oct 2008)
    • 1422b - Okounkov Bodies and Applications 

      [OWR-2014-27] (2014) - (25 May - 31 May 2014)
      The theory of Newton–Okounkov bodies, also called Okounkov bodies, is a relatively new connection between algebraic geometry and convex geometry. It generalizes the well-known and extremely rich correspondence between ...
    • On Generalizations of Kac-Moody Groups 

      [OWP-2010-06] Blok, Rieuwert J.; Hoffman, Corneliu (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010-03-10)
      In [7] we define a Curtis-Tits group as a certain generalization of a Kac-Moody group. We distinguish between orientable and non-orientable Curtis-Tits groups and identify all orientable Curtis-Tits groups as Kac-Moody ...
    • 1318a - Progress in Surface Theory 

      [OWR-2013-21] (2013) - (28 Apr - 04 May 2013)
      Over the last 30 years global surface theory has become pivotal in the understanding of low dimensional global phenomena. At the same time surface geometry became a platform on which seemingly different areas of mathematics ...
    • Supertropical linear algebra 

      [OWP-2010-14] Izhakian, Zur; Knebusch, Manfred; Rowen, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      The objective of this paper is to lay out the algebraic theory of supertropical vector spaces and linear algebra, utilizing the key antisymmetric relation of "ghost surpasses." Special attention is paid to the various ...
    • 1607a - Topological Recursion and TQFTs 

      [OWR-2016-9] (2016) - (14 Feb - 20 Feb 2016)
      The topological recursion is an ubiquitous structure in enumerative geometry of surfaces and topological quantum field theories. Since its invention in the context of matrix models, it has been found or conjectured to ...
