[OWR-2015-50] (2015) - (01 Nov - 07 Nov 2015)This mini-workshop brought together mathematicians engaged in partial differential equations, functional analysis, numerical analysis and systems theory in order to address a number of current problems in the approximation ... -
1915a - Mini-Workshop: Recent Progress in Path Integration on Graphs and Manifolds
[OWR-2019-16] (2019) - (07 Apr - 13 Apr 2019)Ever since Richard Feynman's PhD thesis, path integrals have played a decisive role in mathematical physics. While it is well-known that such formulae can hold only formally, it was Mark Kac who realized that by replacing ... -
1915b - Mini-Workshop: Reflection Groups in Negative Curvature
[OWR-2019-17] (2019) - (07 Apr - 13 Apr 2019)Discrete groups generated by reflections constitute an important source of examples of lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank $1$ (whose associated symmetric spaces are negatively curved). Yet a classification for ... -
1449c - Mini-Workshop: Reflection Positivity in Representation Theory, Stochastics and Physics
[OWR-2014-55] (2014) - (30 Nov - 06 Dec 2014)The central focus of the workshop was reflection positivity, its occurrence in physics, representation theory, abstract harmonic analysis, and stochastic analysis. The program was intrinsically interdisciplinary and included ... -
1743b - Mini-Workshop: Reflectionless Operators: The Deift and Simon Conjectures
[OWR-2017-49] (2017) - (22 Oct - 28 Oct 2017)Reflectionless operators in one dimension are particularly amenable to inverse scattering and are intimately related to integrable systems like KdV and Toda. Recent work has indicated a strong (but not equivalent) relationship ... -

[OWR-2020-42] (2020) - (13 Dec - 19 Dec 2020)Relativistic Hydrodynamics is the description of fluid motion in regimes where relativistic effects are important. This is the case for fluids moving at high velocities or interacting with very strong gravitational fields, ... -
1546c - Mini-Workshop: Scales in Plasticity
[OWR-2015-53] (2015) - (08 Nov - 14 Nov 2015)This mini-workshop was devoted to the current state of our understanding of dislocations (essentially slips of lines of atoms in a crystalline solid) and of their impact on the macroscopic behavior of those solids. -
