    • 0841 - Arbeitsgemeinschaft: Ricci Flow and the Poincare Conjecture 

      [OWR-2008-46] Workshop Report 2008,46 (2008) - (05 Oct - 11 Oct 2008)
      It was the aim of this workshop to introduce the participants to the basic concepts and techniques of Hamilton’s Ricciflow programme and cover the main ideas of the proof of the Poincar´e conjecture. This was accomplished ...

    • 0804 - Buildings: Interactions with Algebra and Geometry 

      [OWR-2008-3] Workshop Report 2008,3 (2008) - (20 Jan - 26 Jan 2008)
      The focus of the conference was on buildings and their applications. Buildings are combinatorial structures (metric cell complexes) which may be viewed as simultaneous generalizations of trees and projective spaces. There ...
