    • Fibrés de Higgs sans géométrie 

      [SNAP-2020-008-FR] Rayan, Steven; Schaposnik, Laura P. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2024-03-05)
      Les fibrés de Higgs sont apparus il y a quelques décennies comme solutions de certaines équations en physique, et ils ont attiré beaucoup d’attention en géométrie comme dans d’autres domaines des mathématiques et de la ...

    • From Betti numbers to ℓ²-Betti numbers 

      [SNAP-2020-001-EN] Kammeyer, Holger; Sauer, Roman (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-04-15)
      We provide a leisurely introduction to ℓ²-Betti numbers, which are topological invariants, by relating them to their much older cousins, Betti numbers. In the end we present an open research problem about ℓ²-Betti numbers.

    • Higgs bundles without geometry 

      [SNAP-2020-008-EN] Rayan, Steven; Schaposnik, Laura P. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-09-29)
      Higgs bundles appeared a few decades ago as solutions to certain equations from physics and have attracted much attention in geometry as well as other areas of mathematics and physics. Here, we take a very informal stroll ...

    • Vertex-to-self trajectories on the platonic solids 

      [SNAP-2020-003-EN] Athreya, Jayadev S.; Aulicino, David (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2020-04-15)
      We consider the problem of walking in a straight line on the surface of a Platonic solid. While the tetrahedron, octahedron, cube, and icosahedron all exhibit the same behavior, we find a remarkable difference with the ...
