      [OWP-2014-12] Mayer, Volker; Urbański, Mariusz (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014-08-20)
      This work concerns random dynamics of hyperbolic entire and meromorphic functions of finite order and whose derivative satisfies some growth condition at infinity. This class contains most of the classical families of ...
    • Rank Deviations for Overpartitions 

      [OWP-2023-11] Lovejoy, Jeremy; Osburn, Robert (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2023-07-12)
      We prove general fomulas for the deviations of two overpartition ranks from the average, namely \begin{equation*} \overline{D}(a, M) := \sum_{n \geq 0} \Bigl( \overline{N}(a, M, n) - \frac{\overline{p}(n)}{M} \Bigr) q^n ...
