The algebra of differential operators for a Gegenbauer weight matrix
[OWP-2015-07] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-29)In this work we study in detail the algebra of differential operators $\mathcal{D}(W)$ associated with a Gegenbauer matrix weight. We prove that two second order operators generate the algebra, indeed $\mathcal{D}(W)$ is ... -
Cocharacter-closure and spherical buildings
[OWP-2015-12] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-29)Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive $k$-group and $V$ an affine $k$-variety on which $G$ acts. In this note we continue our study of the notion of cocharacter-closed $G(k)$-orbits in $V$. In earlier work we used a ... -
Composition of Irreducible Morphisms in Quasi-Tubes
[OWP-2015-03] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-04-09)We study the composition of irreducible morphisms between indecomposable modules lying in quasi-tubes of the Auslander-Reiten quivers of artin algebras $A$ in relation with the powers of the radical of their module category ... -
Discrete Translates in Lp (R)
[OWP-2015-09] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-06-18)A set $\Lambda$ is called $p$-spectral if there is a function $g \in L^p (\mathbb{R})$ such that all $\Lambda$-translates $\{g(t-\lambda),\lambda \in \Lambda\}$ span $L^p(\mathbb{R})$. We prove that exponentially small ... -
Euler Reflexion Formulas for Motivic Multiple Zeta Functions
[OWP-2015-17] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-11-18)We introduce a new notion of *-product of two integrable series with coeficients in distinct Grothendieck rings of algebraic varieties, preserving the integrability and commuting with the limit of rational series. In the ... -
Gibbs measures associated to the integrals of motion of the periodic derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation
[OWP-2015-04] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-05-18)We study the one dimensional periodic derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation. This is known to be a completely integrable system, in the sense that there is an infinite sequence of formal integrals of motion $\int ... -
Graphical constructions for the sl(3), C2 and G2 invariants for virtual knots, virtual braids and free knots
[OWP-2015-13] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-31)We construct graph-valued analogues of the Kuperberg sl(3) and $G_2$ invariants for virtual knots. The restriction of the sl(3) and $G_2$ invariants for classical knots coincides with the usual Homflypt sl(3) invariant and ... -
Hight functions on quaternionic Stiefel manifolds
[OWP-2015-10] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-29)In this note, we study height functions on quaternionic Stiefel manifolds and prove that all these height functions are Morse-Bott. Among them, we characterize the Morse functions and give a lower bound for their number ... -
Instability of point defects in a two-dimensional nematic liquid crystal model
[OWP-2015-05] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-29)We study a class of symmetric critical points in a variational 2$D$ Landau - de Gennes model where the state of nematic liquid crystals is described by symmetric traceless $3 \times 3$ matrices. These critical points play ... -
Maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over non-isolated surface singularities and matrix problems
[OWP-2015-06] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-05-13)In this article we develop a new method to deal with maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over non-isolated surface singularities. In particular, we give a negative answer on an old question of Schreyer about surface singularities ... -
Milnor fibre homology via deformation
[OWP-2015-22] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)In case of one-dimensional singular locus, we use deformations in order toget refined information about the Betti numbers of the Milnor fibre. -
A nested family of k-total effective rewards for positional games
[OWP-2015-21] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)We consider Gillette's two-person zero-sum stochastic games with perfect information. For each $k \in \mathbb{Z}_+$ we introduce an effective reward function, called $k$-total. For $k = 0$ and $1$ this function is known ... -
Noncommutative Marked Surfaces
[OWP-2015-16] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-11-18)The aim of the paper is to attach a noncommutative cluster-like structure to each marked surface $\Sigma$. This is a noncommutative algebra $\mathcal{A}_\Sigma$ generated by “noncommutative geodesics” between marked points ... -
A potential reduction algorithm for two-person zero-sum mean payoff stochastic games
[OWP-2015-19] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)We suggest a new algorithm for two-person zero-sum undiscounted stochastic games focusing on stationary strategies. Given a positive real $\epsilon$, let us call a stochastic game $\epsilon$-ergodic, if its values from any ... -
Prediction and Quantification of Individual Athletic Performance
[OWP-2015-11] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-08-27)We present a novel, quantitative view on the human athletic performance of individuals. We obtain a predictor for athletic running performances, a parsimonious model, and a training state summary consisting of three numbers, ... -
A Pseudo-Polynomial Algorithm for Mean Payoff Stochastic Games with Perfect Information and Few Random Positions
[OWP-2015-20] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)We consider two-person zero-sum stochastic mean payoff games with perfect information, or BWR-games, given by a digraph $G = (V,E)$, with local rewards $r : E \to \mathbb{Z}$, and three types of positions: black $V_B$, ... -
Realizing Spaces as Classifying Spaces
[OWP-2015-01] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-04-10)Which spaces occur as a classifying space for fibrations with a given fibre? We address this question in the context of rational homotopy theory. We construct an infinite family of finite complexes realized (up to rational ... -
Right Unimodal and Bimodal Singularities in Positive Characteristic
[OWP-2015-14] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-11-18)The problem of classification of real and complex singularities was initiated by Arnol'd in the sixties who classified simple, unimodal and bimodal w.r.t. right equivalence. The classification of right simple singularities ... -
Simulation of Multibody Systems with Servo Constraints through Optimal Control
[OWP-2015-18] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015)We consider mechanical systems where the dynamics are partially constrained to prescribed trajectories. An example for such a system is a building crane with a load and the requirement that the load moves on a certain path. ... -
Time and band limiting for matrix valued functions, an example
[OWP-2015-08] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-29)The main purpose of this paper is to extend to a situation involving matrix valued orthogonal polynomials and spherical functions, a result that traces its origin and its importance to work of Claude Shannon in laying the ...
