• Spherical Actions on Flag Varieties 

      [OWP-2014-04] Avdeev, Roman; Petukhov, Alexey (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014-04-25)
      For every finite-dimensional vector space $V$ and every $V$ -flag variety $X$ we list all connected reductive subgroups in $GL(V)$ acting spherically on $X$.
    • 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 ...
    • Supertropical Matrix Algebra III : Powers of Matrices and Generalized Eigenspaces 

      [OWP-2010-20] Izhakian, Zur; Rowen, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      We investigate powers of supertropical matrices, with special attention to the role of the coefficients of the supertropical characteristic polynomial (especially the supertropical trace) in controlling the rank of a power ...
    • Supertropical Quadratic Forms I 

      [OWP-2013-27] Knebusch, Manfred; Rowen, Louis; Izhakian, Zur (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013)
      We initiate the theory of a quadratic form q over a semiring $R$. As customary, one can write $q(x+y)=q(x)+q(y)+b(x,y)$, where b is a companion bilinear form. But in contrast to the ring-theoretic case, the companion ...
    • Supertropical semirings and supervaluations 

      [OWP-2010-05] Izhakian, Zur; Knebusch, Manfred; Rowen, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      We interpret a valuation $\upsilon$ on a ring $R$ as a map $\upsilon:R \rightarrow M$ into a so called bipotent semiring $M$ (the usual max-plus setting), and then define a supervaluation $\varphi$ as a suitable map into ...
    • Tilting on non-commutative rational projective curves 

      [OWP-2009-14] Burban, Igor; Drozd, Jurij A. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2009-03-08)
      In this article we introduce a new class of non-commutative projective curves and show that in certain cases the derived category of coherent sheaves on them has a tilting complex. In particular, we prove that the right ...
    • Unexpected Properties of the Klein Configuration of 60 Points in $\mathbb{P}^3$ 

      [OWP-2020-19] Pokora, Piotr; Szemberg, Tomasz; Szpond, Justyna (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-10-07)
      Felix Klein in course of his study of the regular and its symmetries encountered a highly symmetric configuration of 60 points in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This configuration has appeared in various guises, perhaps post notably as ...
    • Varieties of Invariant Subspaces Given by Littlewood-Richardson Tableaux 

      [OWP-2014-01] Kosakowska, Justyna; Schmidmeier, Markus (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014-04-25)
      Given partitions $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$, the short exact sequences $0 \rightarrow N_\alpha \rightarrow N_\beta \rightarrow N_\gamma \rightarrow 0$ of nilpotent linear operators of Jordan types $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$, ...
