- ItemAdvanced Computational Engineering(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2012) Carstensen, Carsten; Schröder, Jörg; Wriggers, PeterThe 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.
- ItemAlgebraic K-theory and Motivic Cohomology(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2013) Huber-Klawitter, Annette; Jannsen, Uwe; Levine, MarcAlgebraic 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.
- ItemActions and Invariants of Residually Finite Groups: Asymptotic Methods(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2010) Gaboriau, Damien; Grunewald, FritzThe 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.
- ItemMini-Workshop: Shearlets(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2010) Labate, DemetrioOver the last 20 years, multiscale methods and wavelets have revolutionized the field of applied mathematics by providing an efficient means for encoding isotropic phenomena. Directional multiscale systems, particularly shearlets, are now having the same dramatic impact on the encoding of multivariate signals. Since its introduction about five years ago, the theory of shearlets has rapidly developed and gained wide recognition as the superior way of achieving a truly unified treatment in both the continuum and digital setting. By now, shearlet analysis has reached maturity as a research field, with deep mathematical results, efficient numerical methods, and a variety of high-impact applications. The main goal of the Mini-Workshop Shearlets was to gather the world’s experts in this field in order to foster closer interaction, attack challenging open problems, and identify future research directions.
- ItemAlgebraische Zahlentheorie(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2014) Kings, Guido; Sujatha, Ramdorai; Venjakob, OtmarThe workshop brought together leading experts in Algebraic Number Theory. The talks presented new methods and results that intertwine a multitude of topics ranging from classical diophantine themes to modern arithmetic geometry, modular forms and p-adic aspects in number theory.
- ItemAnalytic Number Theory(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2013) Montgomery, Hugh L.; Vaughan, Robert C.; Wooley, Trevor D.Analytic number theory has florished over the past few years, and this workshop brought together world leaders and young talent to discuss developments in various branches of the subject.
- ItemMini-Workshop: Valuations and Integral Geometry(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2010) Bernig, Andreas; Schuster, FranzAs a generalization of the notion of measure, valuations have long played a central role in the integral geometry of convex sets. In recent years there has been a series of striking developments. Several examples were presented at this meeting, e.g. the work of Bernig and Fu on the integral geometry of groups acting transitively on the unit sphere, that of Hug and Schneider on kinematic and Crofton formulas for tensor valued valuations and a series of results by Ludwig and Reitzner on classifications of affine invariant notions of surface areas and of convex body valued valuations.
- ItemAlgebraic Groups(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2013) Jantzen, Jens Carsten; Reichstein, ZinovyLinear algebraic groups is an active research area in contemporary mathematics. It has rich connections to algebraic geometry, representation theory, algebraic combinatorics, number theory, algebraic topology, and differential equations. The foundations of this theory were laid by A. Borel, C. Chevalley, T. A. Springer and J. Tits in the second half of the 20th century. The Oberwolfach workshops on algebraic groups, led by Springer and Tits, played an important role in this effort as a forum for researchers, meeting at approximately 3 year intervals since the 1960s. The present workshop continued this tradition, featuring a number of important recent developments in the subject.
- ItemMini-Workshop: Endomorphisms, Semigroups and C*-Algebras of Rings(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2012) Szymanski, Wojciech; Zacharias, JoachimThe main aim of the workshop was to explore recent progress in the study of endomorphisms of $C*$-algebras, semigroup crossed products, graph algebras, ring $C*$-algebras, purely infinite $C*$-algebras and related algebraic constructions, such as dilations or Leavitt path algebras, by bringing together experts from several different fields.
- ItemMini-Workshop: Cohomology Rings and Fundamental Groups of Hyperplane Arrangements, Wonderful Compactifications, and Real Toric Varieties(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2012) Suciu, Alexander I.The purpose of this workshop was to bring together researchers with a common interest in the objects mentioned in the title from, respectively, the points of view of toric and tropical geometry, arrangement theory, and geometric group theory.
