• 0935 - Challenges in Statistical Theory: Complex Data Structures and Algorithmic Optimization 

      [OWR-2009-39] Workshop Report 2009,39 (2009) - (23 Aug - 29 Aug 2009)
      Technological developments have created a constant incoming stream of complex new data structures that need analysis. Modern statistics therefore means mathematically sophisticated new statistical theory that generates or ...
    • 0918 - Combinatorics and Probability 

      [OWR-2009-23] Workshop Report 2009,23 (2009) - (26 Apr - 02 May 2009)
      The effective application of probabilistic reasoning in the study of problems in diverse areas is one of the most exciting recent developments in Mathematics. Probabilistic methods turned out to be very powerful in Discrete ...
    • 0949 - Convex Geometry and its Applications 

      [OWR-2009-53] Workshop Report 2009,53 (2009) - (29 Nov - 05 Dec 2009)
      The geometry of convex domains in Euclidean space plays a central role in several branches of mathematics: functional and harmonic analysis, the theory of PDE, linear programming and, increasingly, in the study of other ...
    • 0908b - Mini-Workshop: Product Systems and Independence in Quantum Dynamics 

      [OWR-2009-9] Workshop Report 2009,9 (2009) - (15 Feb - 21 Feb 2009)
      Quantum dynamics, both reversible (i.e., closed quantum systems) and irreversible (i.e., open quantum systems), gives rise to product systems of Hilbert spaces or, more generally, of Hilbert modules. When we consider ...
    • 0946a - Mini-Workshop: Spectrum of Transfer Operators: Recent Developments and Applications 

      [OWR-2009-49] Workshop Report 2009,49 (2009) - (08 Nov - 14 Nov 2009)
      Transfer operators and their spectral theory provide a unifying framework for studying stochastic properties of chaotic deterministic dynamical systems. The goal of this workshop was to widen the class of systems that can ...
    • 0904 - Random Trees 

      [OWR-2009-3] Workshop Report 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 ...
    • 0934 - Scaling Limits in Models of Statistical Mechanics 

      [OWR-2009-38] Workshop Report 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 ...
