    • Bredon Cohomology and Robot Motion Planning 

      [OWP-2017-34] Farber, Michael; Grant, Mark; Lupton, Gregory; Oprea, John (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-11-29)
      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, ...

    • 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.

    • 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 ...

      [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 ...

    • An Extension Problem and Trace Hardy Inequality for the Sublaplacian on H-Type Groups 

      [OWP-2017-20] Roncal, Luz; Thangavelu, Sundaram (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-07-24)
      In this paper we study the extension problem for the sublaplacian on a H-type group and use the solutions to prove trace Hardy and Hardy inequalities for fractional powers of the sublaplacian.

    • Freeness of Multi-Reflection Arrangements via Primitive Vector Fields 

      [OWP-2017-10] Hoge, Torsten; Mano, Toshiyuki; Röhrle, Gerhard; Stump, Christian (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-04-20)
      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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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.

    • The Index of Singular Zeros of Harmonic Mappings of Anti-Analytic Degree One 

      [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 ...

    • Inductive Freeness of Ziegler’s Canonical Multiderivations for Reflection Arrangements 

      [OWP-2017-14] Hoge, Torsten; Röhrle, Gerhard (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-04-30)
      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 ...

    • Locally Compact Abelian p-Groups Revisited 

      [OWP-2017-06] Herfort, Wolfgang; Hofmann, Karl Heinrich; Kramer, Linus (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-03-03)
      Even though the structure of locally compact abelian groups is generally considered to be rather thoroughly known through a wealth of publications, one keeps encountering corners that are not elucidated in up-to-date ...

    • 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.

    • Matrix Elements of Irreducible Representations of SU(n+1) x SU(n+1) and Multivariable Matrix-Valued Orthogonal Polynomials 

      [OWP-2017-16] Koelink, Erik; van Pruijssen, Maarten; Román, Pablo Manuel (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-06-14)
      In Part 1 we study the spherical functions on compact symmetric pairs of arbitrary rank under a suitable multiplicity freeness assumption and additional conditions on the branching rules. The spherical functions are ...

      Mustaţă has given a conjecture for the graded Betti numbers in the minimal free resolution of the ideal of a general set of points on an irreducible projective algebraic variety. For surfaces in $\mathbb P^3$ this conjecture ...

      [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 ...

    • 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 ...
