      In this article, we define amorphic complexity for actions of locally compact $\sigma$-compact amenable groups on compact metric spaces. Amorphic complexity, originally introduced for $\mathbb Z$-actions, is a topological ...

      [OWP-2017-26] Györfi, László; Walk, Harro (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-17)
      For a binary classification problem, the hypothesis testing is studied, that a component of the observation vector is not effective, i.e., that component carries no information for the classification. We introduce nearest ...

      In 2002, Terao showed that every reflection multi-arrangement of a real reflection group with constant multiplicity is free by providing a basis of the module of derivations. We first generalize Terao's result to ...

      [OWP-2017-22] Detinko, Alla; Flannery, Dane; Hulpke, Alexander (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-09-14)
      In this document we describe the functionality of GAP [4] routines for Zariski dense or arithmetic groups that are developed in [1, 2, 3]. The research underlying the software was supported through the programme "Research ...
    • Geometry of Free Loci and Factorization of Noncommutative Polynomials 

      [OWP-2017-23] Helton, J. William; Klep, Igor; Volčič, Jurij; Helton, J. William (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 ...
    • Gradient Canyons, Concentration of Curvature, and Lipschitz Invariants 

      [OWP-2017-35] Paunescu, Laurentiu; Tibăr, Mihai-Marius (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-12-13)
      We find new bi-Lipschitz invariants of holomorphic functions of two variables by using the gradient canyons and by combining analytic and geometric viewpoints on the concentration of curvature.
    • Homogenization of a nonlinear monotone problem with nonlinear Signorini boundary conditions in a domain with highly rough boundary 

      [OWP-2018-06] Gaudiello, Antonio; Mel'nyk, Taras A. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2018-04-16)
      We consider a domain $\Omega_\varepsilon\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq2$, with a very rough boundary depending on~$\varepsilon$. For instance, if $N=3$ the domain $\Omega_\varepsilon$ has the form of a brush with an ...

      [OWP-2017-03] Luce, Robert; Sète, Olivier (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-02-02)
      We study harmonic mappings of the form $f(z) = h(z) - \overline{z}$, where $h$ is an analytic function. In particular we are interested in the index (a generalized multiplicity) of the zeros of such functions. Outside the ...

      Let $A$ be a free hyperplane arrangement. In 1989, Ziegler showed that the restriction $A''$ of $A$ to any hyperplane endowed with the natural multiplicity is then a free multiarrangement. We initiate a study of the stronger ...
