      [OWR-2016-29] Workshop Report 2016,29 (2016) - (12 Jun - 18 Jun 2016)
      Progress in algebraic geometry often comes through the introduction of new tools and ideas to tackle the classical problems the development of the field. Examples include new invariants that capture some aspect of geometry ...

    • 1643 - Definability and Decidability Problems in Number Theory 

      [OWR-2016-49] Workshop Report 2016,49 (2016) - (23 Oct - 29 Oct 2016)
