0920 - Quadratic Forms and Linear Algebraic Groups
[OWR-2009-25] (2009) - (10 May - 16 May 2009)Topics discussed at the workshop Quadratic forms and linear algebraic groups included besides the algebraic theory of quadratic and Hermitian forms and their Witt groups several aspects of the theory of linear algebraic ... -
0904 - Random Trees
[OWR-2009-3] (2009) - (18 Jan - 24 Jan 2009)The meeting was devoted to random trees, a central concept in mathematics that provides a key way of thinking about relationships between objects such as particles in a fluid, individuals in a population, or labels in a ... -
0913 - Representations of Finite Groups
[OWR-2009-17] (2009) - (22 Mar - 28 Mar 2009)The workshop Representations of Finite Groups was organised by Joseph Chuang (London), Markus Linckelmann (Aberdeen), Gunter Malle (Kaiserslautern) and Jeremy Rickard (Bristol). It covered a wide variety of aspects of the ... -
0934 - Scaling Limits in Models of Statistical Mechanics
[OWR-2009-38] (2009) - (16 Aug - 22 Aug 2009)The workshop brought together researchers interested in spatial random processes and their connection to statistical mechanics. The principal subjects of interest were scaling limits and, in general, limit laws for various ... -
0939 - Singularities
[OWR-2009-43] (2009) - (20 Sep - 26 Sep 2009)Local/global Singularity Theory is concerned with the local/global structure of maps and spaces that occur in differential topology or theory of algebraic or analytic varieties. It uses methods from algebra, topology, ... -
0912 - Sparse Recovery Problems in High Dimensions: Statistical Inference and Learning Theory
[OWR-2009-16] (2009) - (15 Mar - 21 Mar 2009)The statistical analysis of high dimensional data requires new techniques, extending results from nonparametric statistics, analysis, probability, approximation theory, and theoretical computer science. The main problem ... -
0924 - Strings, Fields and Topology
[OWR-2009-28] (2009) - (07 Jun - 13 Jun 2009)In recent years, the interplay between traditional geometric topology and theoretical physics, in particular quantum ?eld theory, has played a signi?cant role in the work of many researchers. The idea of this workshop was ... -
0906 - The Arithmetic of Fields
[OWR-2009-5] (2009) - (01 Feb - 07 Feb 2009)The workshop “The Arithmetic of Fields” focused on a series of problems concerning the interplay between number theory, arithmetic and algebraic geometry, Galois theory, and model theory, such as: the Galois theory of ... -
0921 - Topological and Variational Methods for Partial Differential Equations
[OWR-2009-26] (2009) - (17 May - 23 May 2009)In recent years, there has been a major impact of topological and variational methods on the study of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. In particular, surprising results for classical open ... -
0902 - Toric Geometry
[OWR-2009-1] (2009) - (04 Jan - 10 Jan 2009)Toric Geometry originated from investigations of torus actions on geometric and algebraic objects. It is addressed through algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, equivariant topology, as well as the theory of convex ... -
0907b - Wave Motion
[OWR-2009-7] (2009) - (08 Feb - 14 Feb 2009)This workshop was devoted to recent progress in the mathematical study of water waves, with special emphasis on nonlinear phenomena. Both aspects related to the governing equations (free boundary Euler equations) as well ...
