      Since the publication of the first edition of this seminar book in 1994, the theory and applications of extremes and rare events have enjoyed an enormous and still increasing interest. The intention of the book is to give ...
    • Lax Comma Categories of Ordered Sets 

      [OWP-2023-08] Clementino, Maria Manuel; Lucatelli Nunes, Fernando (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2023-06-19)
      Let $\mathsf{Ord} $ be the category of (pre)ordered sets. Unlike $\mathsf{Ord}/X$, whose behaviour is well-known, not much can be found in the literature about the lax comma 2-category $\mathsf{Ord} //X$. In this paper ...

      [OWR-2012-31] (2012) - (24 Jun - 30 Jun 2012)
      Learning theory studies data structures from samples and aims at understanding unknown function relations behind them. This leads to interesting theoretical problems which can be often attacked with methods from Approximation ...
    • Lectures on Algebraic Statistics

      How does an algebraic geometer studying secant varieties further the understanding of hypothesis tests in statistics? Why would a statistician working on factor analysis raise open problems about determinantal varieties? ...

      [OWS-25] Ballmann, Werner (Birkhäuser Basel, 1995)
      Singular spaces with upper curvature bounds and, in particular, spaces of nonpositive curvature, have been of interest in many fields, including geometric (and combinatorial) group theory, topology, dynamical systems and ...
    • Lectures on vanishing theorems 

      [OWS-20] Esnault, Hélène; Viehweg, Eckart (Birkhäuser Basel, 1992)
      Introduction M. Kodaira's vanishing theorem, saying that the inverse of an ample invert­ ible sheaf on a projective complex manifold X has no cohomology below the dimension of X and its generalization, due to Y. Akizuki ...
    • 2040a - Lefschetz Properties in Algebra, Geometry and Combinatorics (hybrid meeting) 

      [OWR-2020-31] (2020) - (27 Sep - 03 Oct 2020)
      The themes of the workshop are the Weak Lefschetz Property - WLP - and the Strong Lefschetz Property - SLP. The name of these properties, referring to Artinian algebras, is motivated by the Lefschetz theory for projective ...
    • Legendrian Knots in Lens Spaces 

      [OWP-2011-01] Onaran, Sinem (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011)
      In this note, we first classify all topological torus knots lying on the Heegaard torus in Lens spaces, and then we classify Legendrian representatives of torus knots. We show that all Legendrian torus knots in universally ...
    • Legendrian Lens Space Surgeries 

      [OWP-2016-10] Geiges, Hansjörg; Onaran, Sinem (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2016-06-17)
      We show that every tight contact structure on any of the lens spaces $L(ns^2 - s + 1,s^2)$ with $n\geq 2, s \geq 1$, can be obtained by a single Legendrian surgery along a suitable Legendrian realisation of the negative ...
    • Legendrian rational unknots in lens spaces 

      [OWP-2013-06] Geiges, Hansjörg; Onaran, Sinem (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013-03-14)
      We classify Legendrian rational unknots with tight complements in the lens spaces $L(p,1)$ up to coarse equivalence. As an example of the general case, this classification is also worked out for $L(5, 2)$. The knots are ...

      [OWP-2021-02] Schwieger, Kay; Wagner, Stefan (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2021-01-11)
      Given a free action of a compact Lie group $G$ on a unital C*-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ and a spectral triple on the corresponding fixed point algebra $\mathcal{A}^G$, we present a systematic and in-depth construction of ...
