- ItemMini-Workshop: Women in Mathematics: Historical and Modern Perspectives(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2017) Oswald, Nicola; Tobies, RenateThe 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.
- 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 Statistics(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2017) Kahle, Thomas; Sturmfels, Bernd; Uhler, CarolineAlgebraic 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.
- 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.
- ItemAlgebraische Zahlentheorie(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2018) Sujatha, Ramdorai; Urban, Eric; Venjakob, OtmarThe 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
- 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.
- ItemAlgebraic K-theory(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2019) Hesselholt, Lars; Huber-Klawitter, Annette; Kerz, MoritzAlgebraic $K$-theory has seen a fruitful development during the last three years. Part of this recent progress was driven by the use of $\infty$-categories and related techniques originally developed in algebraic topology. On the other hand we have seen continuing progress based on motivic homotopy theory which has been an important theme in relation to algebraic $K$-theory for twenty years.
- 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.
