    • 1619 - Factorization Algebras and Functorial Field Theories 

      [OWR-2016-25] Workshop Report 2016,25 (2016) - (08 May - 14 May 2016)
      Factorization algebras are a new mathematical approach to quantum field theory. They are related to functorial field theories, another approach to quantum field theory. Factorization algebras also figure in current research ...

    • 1607b - Hochschild Cohomology in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology 

      [OWR-2016-10] Workshop Report 2016,10 (2016) - (14 Feb - 20 Feb 2016)
      In 1945 Gerhard Hochschild published "On the cohomology groups of an associative algebra" in the Annals of Mathematics and thereby created what is now called Hochschild theory. In 1963, Murray Gerstenhaber proved that the ...

    • 1644c - Mini-Workshop: Computations in the Cohomology of Arithmetic Groups 

      [OWR-2016-52] Workshop Report 2016,52 (2016) - (30 Oct - 05 Nov 2016)
      Explicit calculations play an important role in the theoretical development of the cohomology of groups and its applications. It is becoming more common for such calculations to be derived with the aid of a computer. This ...

    • 1609c - Mini-Workshop: Topological Complexity and Related Topics 

      [OWR-2016-15] Workshop Report 2016,15 (2016) - (28 Feb - 05 Mar 2016)
      Topological complexity is a numerical homotopy invariant of topological spaces, of Lusternik-Schnirelmann type, introduced by Farber and motivated by the motion planning problem from topological robotics. This mini-workshop ...

    • 1649 - Surface Bundles 

      [OWR-2016-56] Workshop Report 2016,56 (2016) - (04 Dec - 10 Dec 2016)
      This workshop brought together specialists in algebraic topology, low dimensional topology, geometric group theory, algebraic geometry and neighboring fields. It provided a good overview of the current developments, and ...

    • 1629 - Topologie 

      [OWR-2016-35] Workshop Report 2016,35 (2016) - (17 Jul - 23 Jul 2016)
      The Oberwolfach conference “Topologie” is one of only a few opportunities for researchers from many different areas in algebraic and geometric topology to meet and exchange ideas. This year we emphasized two topics of ...
