    • Z2-Thurston Norm and Complexity of 3-Manifolds, II 

      [OWP-2017-36] Jaco, William; Rubinstein, J. Hyam; Spreer, Jonathan; Tillmann, Stephan (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-12-20)
      In this sequel to earlier papers by three of the authors, we obtain a new bound on the complexity of a closed 3-manifold, as well as a characterisation of manifolds realising our complexity bounds. As an application, we ...
    • 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.

      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, ...

      [OWP-2017-31] Detinko, Alla; Flannery, Dane; Hulpke, Alexander (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-28)
      We give a method to describe all congruence images of a finitely generated Zariski dense group $H\leq SL(n, \mathbb{R})$. The method is applied to obtain efficient algorithms for solving this problem in odd prime degree ...
    • The Varchenko Determinant of a Coxeter Arrangement 

      [OWP-2017-33] Pfeiffer, Götz; Randriamaro, Hery (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-11-24)
      The Varchenko determinant is the determinant of a matrix defined from an arrangement of hyperplanes. Varchenko proved that this determinant has a beautiful factorization. It is, however, not possible to use this factorization ...
    • Looking Back on Inverse Scattering Theory 

      [OWP-2017-24] Colton, David; Kress, Rainer (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-05)
      We present an essay on the mathematical development of inverse scattering theory for time-harmonic waves during the past fifty years together with some personal memories of our participation in these events.
    • GAP Functionality for Zariski Dense Groups 

      [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 ...
    • Composition of Irreducible Morphisms in Coils 

      [OWP-2017-32] Chaio, Claudia; Malicki, Piotr (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-30)
      We study the non-zero composition of n irreducible morphisms between modules lying in coils in relation with the powers of the radical of their module category.
    • Non-Extendability of Holomorphic Functions with Bounded or Continuously Extendable Derivatives 

      [OWP-2017-30] Moschonas, Dionysios; Nestoridis, Vassili (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-21)
      We consider the spaces $H_{F}^{\infty}(\Omega)$ and $\mathcal{A}_{F}(\Omega)$ containing all holomorphic functions $f$ on an open set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{C}$, such that all derivatives $f^{(l)}$, $l\in F \subseteq ...
    • The Colored Jones Polynomial and Kontsevich-Zagier Series for Double Twist Knots 

      [OWP-2017-29] Lovejoy, Jeremy; Osburn, Robert (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-20)
      Using a result of Takata, we prove a formula for the colored Jones polynomial of the double twist knots $K_{(-m,-p)}$ and $K_{(-m,p)}$ where $m$ and $p$ are positive integers. In the $(-m,-p)$ case, this leads to new ...
    • On an Effective Variation of Kronecker’s Approximation Theorem Avoiding Algebraic Sets 

      [OWP-2017-28] Fukshansky, Lenny; German, Oleg; Moshchevitin, Nikolay (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-19)
      Let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb R^n$ be an algebraic lattice, coming from a projective module over the ring of integers of a number field $K$. Let $\mathcal Z \subset \mathbb R^n$ be the zero locus of a finite collection of ...
    • Review of the Methods of Reflections 

      [OWP-2017-27] Ciaramella, Gabriele; Gander, Martin J.; Halpern, Laurence; Salomon, Julien (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-18)
      The methods of reflections were invented to obtain approximate solutions of the motion of more than one particle in a given environment, provided that one can represent the solution for one particle rather easily. This ...
    • Detecting Ineffective Features for Pattern Recognition 

      [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 ...
    • Exact Rate of Convergence of k-Nearest-Neighbor Classification Rule 

      [OWP-2017-25] Györfi, László; Döring, Maik; Walk, Harro (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-16)
      A binary classification problem is considered. The excess error probability of the k-nearest neighbor classification rule according to the error probability of the Bayes decision is revisited by a decomposition of the ...
