1234a - Optimal and Near Optimal Configurations on Lattices and Manifolds
[OWR-2012-40] (2012) - (19 Aug - 25 Aug 2012)Optimal configurations of points arise in many contexts, for example classical ground states for interacting particle systems, Euclidean packings of convex bodies, as well as minimal discrete and continuous energy problems ... -
1203 - Recent Developments in the Numerics of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws and their Use in Science and Engineering
[OWR-2012-5] (2012) - (15 Jan - 21 Jan 2012)Modern numerical methods for hyperbolic conservation laws rely on polynomials of high degree, mostly orthogonal polynomials, on triangular or quadrilateral meshes. Due to shocks stability is an issue and modern means of ... -
1227a - Reductions of Shimura Varieties
[OWR-2012-32] (2012) - (01 Jul - 07 Jul 2012)The workshop brought together leading experts in the theory of reductions of Shimura varieties. The talks presented new methods and results that intertwine a multitude of topics such as geometry and cohomology of moduli ... -

1234b - Rough Paths and PDEs
[OWR-2012-41] (2012) - (19 Aug - 25 Aug 2012)The purpose of the Oberwolfach workshop ”Rough Paths and PDEs” was to bring together these researchers, both young and senior, with the aim to promote progress in rough path theory, the connections with partial differential ... -
1237 - Scaling Limits in Models of Statistical Mechanics
[OWR-2012-44] (2012) - (09 Sep - 15 Sep 2012)This has been the third workshop around Statistical Mechanics organized in the last 6 years. The main topic consisted of spatial random processes and their connections to statistical mechanics. The common underlying theme ... -
1239 - Singularities
[OWR-2012-46] (2012) - (23 Sep - 29 Sep 2012)Singularity theory is concerned with the local and global structure of maps and spaces that occur in algebraic, analytic or differential geometric context. It uses methods from algebra, topology, algebraic geometry and ... -
1217b - Singularity Theory and Integrable Systems
[OWR-2012-23] (2012) - (22 Apr - 28 Apr 2012)The workshop brought together three very different areas of mathematics, namely singularity theory, integrable systems and quantum cohomology. They are linked by their applications in topological quantum field theory and ... -
1205 - The Mathematics and Statistics of Quantitative Risk Management
[OWR-2012-7] (2012) - (29 Jan - 04 Feb 2012)It was the aim of this workshop to gather a multidisciplinary and international group of scientists at the forefront of research in areas related to the mathematics and statistics of quantitative risk management. The main ... -

[OWR-2012-45] (2012) - (16 Sep - 22 Sep 2012)The Oberwolfach conference “Topologie” is one of the few occasions where researchers from many different areas in algebraic and geometric topology are able to meet and exchange ideas. Accordingly, the program covered a ... -
1216 - Toric Geometry
[OWR-2012-21] (2012) - (15 Apr - 21 Apr 2012)Toric Geometry plays a major role where a wide variety of mathematical fields intersect, such as algebraic and symplectic geometry, algebraic groups, and combinatorics. The main feature of this workshop was to bring people ... -
1218 - Triangulations
[OWR-2012-24] (2012) - (29 Apr - 05 May 2012)The earliest work in topology was often based on explicit combinatorial models – usually triangulations – for the spaces being studied. Although algebraic methods in topology gradually replaced combinatorial ones in the ...
