    The Kadison-Singer problem
    (Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach gGmbH, 2014) Valette, Alain
    In quantum mechanics, unlike in classical mechanics, one cannot make precise predictions about how a system will behave. Instead, one is concerned with mere probabilities. Consequently, it is a very important task to determine the basic probabilities associated with a given system. In this snapshot we will present a recent uniqueness result concerning these probabilities.

    Statistics and dynamical phenomena
    (Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach gGmbH, 2014) Tong, Howell
    A friend of mine, an expert in statistical genomics, told me the following story: At a dinner party, an attractive lady asked him, "What do you do for a living?" He replied, "I model." As my friend is a handsome man, the lady did not question his statement and continued, "What do you model?" "Genes." She then looked at him up and down and said, "Mh, you must be very much in demand." "Yes, very much so, especially after I helped discover a new culprit gene for a common childhood disease." The lady looked puzzled. In this snapshot, I will give you an insight into Statistics, the field that fascinated my friend (and myself) so much. I will concentrate on phenomena that change over time, in other words, dynamical events.
