1112 - Geometric Numerical Integration
[OWR-2011-16] (2011) - (20 Mar - 26 Mar 2011)The subject of this workshop was numerical methods that preserve geometric properties of the flow of an ordinary or partial differential equation. This was complemented by the question as to how structure preservation ... -
1111 - The Renormalization Group
[OWR-2011-15] (2011) - (13 Mar - 19 Mar 2011)Invented as a multiscale approach to the theory of critical phenomena, the renormalization group has become a powerful mathematical tool in the analysis of infinite-dimensional systems. Its applications range from classical ... -
1110 - Automorphic Forms: New Directions
[OWR-2011-14] (2011) - (06 Mar - 12 Mar 2011)The workshop on Automorphic Forms: New Directions provided a nice glimpse of the many streams of current research activity in this very active area. Topics included the relative trace formula and periods of automorphic ... -
1109a - Mini-Workshop: The Homotopy Interpretation of Constructive Type Theory
[OWR-2011-11] (2011) - (27 Feb - 05 Mar 2011)Over the past few years it has become apparent that there is a surprising and deep connection between constructive logic and higherdimensional structures in algebraic topology and category theory, in the form of an ... -
1109b - Mini-Workshop: History of Numerical and Graphical Tables
[OWR-2011-12] (2011) - (27 Feb - 05 Mar 2011)Numerical tables were one of the most commonly used instruments of calculation from the earliest periods for which we have evidence of mathematical activity until the appearance of computing machines. Such tables (including ... -
1109c - Mini-Workshop: Level Sets and Depth Contours in High Dimensional Data
[OWR-2011-13] (2011) - (27 Feb - 05 Mar 2011)Extraction of information about the distribution underlying a high-dimensional data set is a formidable, complex problem dominating modern nonparametric statistics. Two general strategies are (i) to extract merely qualitative ... -
1108 - Representation Theory of Quivers and Finite Dimensional Algebras
[OWR-2011-10] (2011) - (20 Feb - 26 Feb 2011)Methods and results from the representation theory of quivers and finite dimensional algebras have led to many interactions with other areas of mathematics. Such areas include the theory of Lie algebras and quantum groups, ... -
1107 - Geometric Quantization in the Non-compact Setting
[OWR-2011-9] (2011) - (13 Feb - 19 Feb 2011)The purpose of the workshop was to bring together mathematicians interested in ”quantization of manifolds” in a broad sense: given classical data, such as a Lie group G acting on a symplectic manifold M, construct a quantum ... -
1106 - Topological and Geometric Combinatorics
[OWR-2011-8] (2011) - (06 Feb - 12 Feb 2011)The 2011 Oberwolfach meeting “Topological and Geometric Combinatorics” was organized by Anders Björner (Stockholm), Gil Kalai (Jerusalem), Isabella Novik (Seattle), and Günter M. Ziegler (Berlin). It covered a wide variety ... -
1105 - Trends in Mathematical Imaging and Surface Processing
[OWR-2011-7] (2011) - (30 Jan - 05 Feb 2011)Motivated both by industrial applications and the challenge of new problems, one observes an increasing interest in the field of image and surface processing over the last years. It has become clear that even though the ... -
