- ItemGeometrie(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2006) Burago, Yuri; Pinkall, UlrichThe program covered a wide range of new developments in geometry. To name some of them, we mention the topics “Metric space geometry in the style of Alexandrov/Gromov”, “Polyhedra with prescribed metric”, “Willmore surfaces”, “Constant mean curvature surfaces in three-dimensional Lie groups”. The official program consisted of 21 lectures and included four lectures by V. Schroeder (Zürich) and S. Buyalo (Sankt-Petersburg) on “Asymptotic geometry of Gromov hyperbolic spaces”.
- ItemComputational Engineering(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2015) Carstensen, Carsten; Demkowicz, Leszek; Wriggers, PeterThe focus of this Computational Engineering Workshop was on the mathematical foundation of state-of-the-art and emerging finite element methods in engineering analysis. The 52 participants included mathematicians and engineers with shared interest on discontinuous Galerkin or Petrov-Galerkin methods and other generalized nonconforming or mixed finite element methods.
- ItemMany-Body Quantum Systems(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2019) Schlein, Benjamin; Seiringer, Robert; Warzel, SimoneThe interaction among fundamental particles in nature leads to many interesting effects in quantum statistical mechanics; examples include superconductivity for charged systems and superfluidity in cold gases. It is a huge challenge for mathematical physics to understand the collective behavior of systems containing a large number of particles, emerging from known microscopic interactions. In this workshop we brought together researchers working on different aspects of many-body quantum mechanics to discuss recent developments, exchange ideas and propose new challenges and research directions.
- ItemMFO-RIMS Tandem Workshop: Symmetries on Polynomial Ideals and Varieties (hybrid meeting)(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2021) Murai, Satoshi; Riener, Cordian; Yanagawa, KohjiThe study of symmetry as a structural property of algebraic objects is one of the fundamental pillows of the developments of modern mathematics, most prominently beginning with the work of Abel and Galois. The focus of the workshop was on permutation actions of the symmetric group on polynomial rings and algebraic and semi-algebraic sets. More concretely, it was centered around recent developments in the asymptotic setup of symmetric ideals in the polynomial ring in infinitely many variables.
- ItemPDE and Materials(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2006) James, Richard D.; Müller, StefanThis meeting brought together a carefully selected group of mathematicians, physicists, material scientists and engineers to discuss and review the impact of modern mathematical methods on the understanding of material behaviour and the design of new materials. A key issue is that the material behaviour is determined by physical processes at many different spatial and temporal scales which cannot be simulataneously resolved by brute force computation. Central themes of the meeting were (spatial) microstructures, the relation between atomistic and continuum models, the treatment of multiple temporal scales, and the influence of randomness and the use of methods from statistical mechanics.
- ItemCoagulation and Fragmentation Models(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2007) Norris, James; Wagner, WolfgangAnalysis of coagulation and fragmentation is crucial to understanding many processes of scientific and industrial importance. In recent years this has led to intensified research activities in the areas of differential equations, probability theory, and combinatorics. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together people from these different areas working on various aspects of coagulation and fragmentation. We believe that the insights resulting from the interactions which have been stimulated that week should lead to further advances both in the development of mathematical techniques and in new applications.
- ItemSingularities(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2009) van Straten, Duco; Vassiliev, Victor A.Local/global Singularity Theory is concerned with the local/global structure of maps and spaces that occur in differential topology or theory of algebraic or analytic varieties. It uses methods from algebra, topology, algebraic geometry and multi-variable complex analysis.
- ItemSingularities(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2006) van Straten, Duco; Vassiliev, Victor A.noindent This is the report of the Oberwolfach Workshop on singularity theory held in september 2006. Singularity theory is concerned with the local structure of maps and spaces that occur in many situations in mathematics. It uses methods from algebra, topology and algebraic geometry for their study.
- ItemMany-Body Quantum Systems and Effective Theories(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2016) Schlein, Benjamin; Seiringer, RobertIn the last years, substantial progress has been made in many areas of mathematical physics. The goal of this workshop was to bring together researchers working on analytic and probabilistic aspects of many-body quantum systems and quantum statistical mechanics, to discuss recent developments, exchange ideas and propose new challenges and research directions. Among the questions addressed during the workshop were the derivation of effective equations, the analysis of physically interesting nonlinear partial differential equations emerging from microscopic theories, the study of open quantum systems in and out of equilibrium, and the investigation of the ground state properties and of the dynamics of quantum spin systems.
- ItemGeometry and Arithmetic around Hypergeometric Functions(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2008) Yoshida, Masaaki; Wolfart, Jürgen[no abstract available]
