• A construction of hyperbolic Coxeter groups 

      [OWP-2010-04] Osajda, Damian (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      We give a simple construction of Gromov hyperbolic Coxeter groups of arbitrarily large virtual cohomological dimension. Our construction provides new examples of such groups. Using this one can construct e.g. new groups ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
