    • Seeing through rock with help from optimal transport 

      [SNAP-2022-004-EN] Frederick, Christina; Yang, Yunan (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2022-05-06)
      Geophysicists and mathematicians work together to detect geological structures located deep within the earth by measuring and interpreting echoes from manmade earthquakes. This inverse problem naturally involves the ...

    • The Robinson–Schensted algorithm 

      [SNAP-2022-002-EN] Thomas, Hugh (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2022-05-06)
      I am going to describe the Robinson–Schensted algorithm which transforms a permutation of the numbers from 1 to n into a pair of combinatorial objects called “standard Young tableaux”. I will then say a little bit about a ...

    • Searching for the Monster in the Trees 

      [SNAP-2022-003-EN] Craven, David A. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2022-04-13)
      The Monster finite simple group is almost unimaginably large, with about 8 × 1053 elements in it. Trying to understand such an immense object requires both theory and computer programs. In this snapshot, we discuss finite ...

    • Emergence in biology and social sciences 

      [SNAP-2022-001-EN] Hoffmann, Franca; Merino-Aceituno, Sara (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2022-03-31)
      Mathematics is the key to linking scientific knowledge at different scales: from microscopic to macroscopic dynamics. This link gives us understanding on the emergence of observable patterns like flocking of birds, leaf ...
