The Becker-Gottlieb Transfer: a Geometric Description
[OWP-2019-13] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2019-05-14)In this note, we examine geometric aspects of the Becker-Gottlieb transfer in terms of the Umkehr and index maps, and rework some classic index theorems, using the cohomological formulae of the Becker-Gottlieb transfer. ... -

The Berry-Keating Operator on a Lattice
[OWP-2016-23] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016-11-17)We construct and study a version of the Berry-Keating operator with a built-in truncation of the phase space, which we choose to be a two-dimensional torus. The operator is a Weyl quantisation of the classical Hamiltonian ... -
Billiards and flat surfaces
[SNAP-2015-001-ENSNAP-2015-001-DE] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)[also available in German] Billiards, the study of a ball bouncing around on a table, is a rich area of current mathematical research. We discuss questions and results on billiards, and on the related topic of flat surfaces. -
1119 - Billiards, Flat Surfaces, and Dynamics on Moduli Spaces
[OWR-2011-25] (2011) - (08 May - 14 May 2011)This workshop brought together people working on the dynamics of various flows on moduli spaces, in particular the action of SL$_2(\mathbb R)$ on flat surfaces. The new results presented covered properties of interval ... -
Biological shape analysis with geometric statistics and learning
[SNAP-2022-008-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2022-10-25)The advances in biomedical imaging techniques have enabled us to access the 3D shapes of a variety of structures: organs, cells, proteins. Since biological shapes are related to physiological functions, shape data may hold ... -
Birational Rowmotion on a Rectangle over a Noncommutative Ring
[OWP-2022-17] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2022-09-20)We extend the periodicity of birational rowmotion for rectangular posets to the case when the base field is replaced by a noncommutative ring (under appropriate conditions). This resolves a conjecture from 2014. The proof ... -
Boundary Conditions for Scalar Curvature
[OWP-2021-01] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2021-01-04)Based on the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index formula, we construct an obstruction to positive scalar curvature metrics with mean convex boundaries on spin manifolds of infinite $K$-area. We also characterize the extremal case. ... -
2006a - Boundary Element Methods
[OWR-2020-5] (2020) - (02 Feb - 08 Feb 2020)The field of boundary element methods (BEM) relies on recasting boundary value problems for (mostly linear) partial differential equations as (usually singular) integral equations on boundaries of domains or interfaces. ... -
Boundary Representations of Operator Spaces, and Compact Rectangular Matrix Convex Sets
[OWP-2016-24] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016-12-13)We initiate the study of matrix convexity for operator spaces. We define the notion of compact rectangular matrix convex set, and prove the natural analogs of the Krein-Milman and the bipolar theorems in this context. We ... -
Bounded Weight Modules for Basic Classical Lie Superalgebras at Infinity
[OWP-2022-09] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2022-05-30)We classify simple bounded weight modules over the complex simple Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{sl}(\infty |\infty)$ and $\mathfrak{osp} (m | 2n)$, when at least one of $m$ and $n$ equals $\infty$. For $\mathfrak{osp} (m | ... -
Braid equivalences and the L-moves
[OWP-2011-20] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011-05-19)In this survey paper we present the L-moves between braids and how they can adapt and serve for establishing and proving braid equivalence theorems for various diagrammatic settings, such as for classical knots, for knots ... -
Braidoids
[OWP-2020-17] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-09-03)Braidoids generalize the classical braids and form a counterpart theory to the theory of planar knotoids, just as the theory of braids does for the theory of knots. In this paper, we introduce the notion of braidoids in ... -

Bredon Cohomology and Robot Motion Planning
[OWP-2017-34] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-11-29)In this paper we study the topological invariant ${\sf {TC}}(X)$ reflecting the complexity of algorithms for autonomous robot motion. Here, $X$ stands for the configuration space of a system and ${\sf {TC}}(X)$ is, roughly, ... -
The Brown Complex in Non-Defining Characteristic and Applications
[OWP-2023-14] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2023-07-25)We study the Brown complex associated to the poset of $\ell$-subgroups in the case of a finite reductive group defined over a field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic prime to $\ell$. First, under suitable hypotheses, we ... -
