    Mini-Workshop: Women in Mathematics: Historical and Modern Perspectives
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2017) Oswald, Nicola; Tobies, Renate
    The aim of the workshop is to build a bridge between research on the situation of women in mathematics at the beginning of coeducative studies and the current circumstances in academia. The issue of women in mathematics has been a recent political and social hot topic in the mathematical community. As thematic foci we place a double comparison: besides shedding light on differences and similarities in several European countries, we complete this investigation by comparing the developments of women studies from the beginnings. This shall lead to new results on tradition and suggest improvements on the present situation.

    Advanced Computational Engineering
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2012) Carstensen, Carsten; Schröder, Jörg; Wriggers, Peter
    The finite element method is the established simulation tool for the numerical solution of partial differential equations in many engineering problems with many mathematical developments such as mixed finite element methods (FEMs) and other nonstandard FEMs like least-squares, nonconforming, and discontinuous Galerkin (dG) FEMs. Various aspects on this plus related topics ranging from order-reduction methods to isogeometric analysis has been discussed amongst the pariticpants form mathematics and engineering for a large range of applications.

    Algebraic Statistics
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2017) Kahle, Thomas; Sturmfels, Bernd; Uhler, Caroline
    Algebraic Statistics is concerned with the interplay of techniques from commutative algebra, combinatorics, (real) algebraic geometry, and related fields with problems arising in statistics and data science. This workshop was the first at Oberwolfach dedicated to this emerging subject area. The participants highlighted recent achievements in this field, explored exciting new applications, and mapped out future directions for research.

    Algebraic K-theory and Motivic Cohomology
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2013) Huber-Klawitter, Annette; Jannsen, Uwe; Levine, Marc
    Algebraic K-theory and motivic cohomology are strongly related tools providing a systematic way of producing invariants for algebraic or geometric structures. The definition and methods are taken from algebraic topology, but there have been particularly fruitful applications to problems of algebraic geometry, number theory or quadratic forms. 19 one-hour talks presented a wide range of latest results on the theory and its applications.

    Actions and Invariants of Residually Finite Groups: Asymptotic Methods
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2010) Gaboriau, Damien; Grunewald, Fritz
    The workshop brought together experts in finite group theory, L2-cohomology, measured group theory, the theory of lattices in Lie groups, probability and topology. The common object of interest was residually finite groups, that each field investigates from a different angle.

    Analysis and Quantum Theory
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2005) Derezinski, Jan; Solovej, Jan-Philip
    The MFO-Workshop 0538 Analysis and Quantum Theory focussed on problems in mathematical physics, especially those connected to quantum field theory. Several theoretical physicists introduced a mostly mathematically oriented audience to topics in theoretical physics such as perturbative quantum field theory and fractional quantum Hall effect, thus bridging the gap between theoretical physics and mathematics. Apart from these reviews, a selection of research reports on recent results in mathematical physics was presented.

    Algebraic K-Theory
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2006) Huber-Klawitter, Annette; Jannsen, Uwe; Levine, Marc
    This is the report on the Oberwolfach workshop Algebraic KTheory, held in July 2006. The talks covered mainly topics from Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory in connection with K-Theory. Special emphasis was placed on motivic cohomology and motivic homotopy of general schemes.

    Algebraische Zahlentheorie
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2018) Sujatha, Ramdorai; Urban, Eric; Venjakob, Otmar
    The origins of Algebraic Number Theory can be traced to over two centuries ago, wherein algebraic techniques are used to glean information about integers and rational numbers. It continues to be at the forefront of
