• 4 = 2 × 2, or the Power of Even Integers in Fourier Analysis 

      [SNAP-2023-006-EN] Negro, Giuseppe; Oliveira e Silva, Diogo (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2023-12-30)
      We describe how simple observations related to vectors of length 1 recently led to the proof of an important mathematical fact: the sharp Stein–Tomas inequality from Fourier restriction theory, a pillar of modern harmonic ...
    • Finite geometries: pure mathematics close to applications 

      [SNAP-2021-010-EN] Storme, Leo (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2021-09-22)
      The research field of finite geometries investigates structures with a finite number of objects. Classical examples include vector spaces, projective spaces, and affine spaces over finite fields. Although many of these ...
    • Route planning for bacteria 

      [SNAP-2022-012-EN] Hellmuth, Kathrin; Klingenberg, Christian (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2022-12-08)
      Bacteria have been fascinating biologists since their discovery in the late 17th century. By analysing their movements, mathematical models have been developed as a tool to understand their behaviour. However, adapting ...
