- ItemAnalysis of Boundary Element Methods(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2008) Stephan, Ernst P.[no abstract available]
- 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.
- ItemAnalysis and Quantum Theory(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2005) Derezinski, Jan; Solovej, Jan-PhilipThe 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.
- ItemAlgebraic K-Theory(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2006) Huber-Klawitter, Annette; Jannsen, Uwe; Levine, MarcThis 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.
- 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.
- ItemAlgebraic K-Theory and Motivic Cohomology(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2009) Huber-Klawitter, Annette; Jannsen, Uwe; Levine, MarcAlgebraic K-theory and the related motivic cohomology are a systematic way of producing invariants for algebraic or geometric structures. Its definition and methods are taken from algebraic topology, but it has also proved particularly fruitful for problems of algebraic geometry, number theory or quadratic forms. 19 one-hour talks presented a wide range of results on K-theory itself and applications. We had a lively evening session trading questions and discussing open problems.
- ItemAlgebraic Groups(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2007) Jantzen, Jens Carsten; Rouquier, RaphaelThe workshop dealt with a broad range of topics from the structure theory and the representation theory of algebraic groups (in the widest sense). There was emphasis on the following areas: structure and classification of wonderful varieties, finite reductive groups and character sheaves, quantum cohomology of homogeneous varieties, representation categories and their connections to orbits and flag varieties.
- ItemMini-Workshop: Statistical Methods for Inverse Problems(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2006) Reiß, MarkusInverse problems appear naturally in a broad range of applications. Numerical analysis and statistics have – often independently – developed methods for regularisation and inversion. The aim of this mini-workshop is to bring together these methods and to consider their use in applications, with a focus on mathematical finance.
- ItemMini-Workshop: The Pisot Conjecture - From Substitution Dynamical Systems to Rauzy Fractals and Meyer Sets(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2009) Damanik, David; Lenz, DanielThis mini-workshop brought together researchers with diverse backgrounds and a common interest in facets of the Pisot conjecture, which relates certain properties of a substitution to dynamical properties of the associated subshift.
- ItemMini-Workshop: Theory and Numerics of Fluid-Solid Interaction(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2007) Rannacher, Rolf; Turek, StefanThis volume contains the abstracts of a series of talks given at a mini-workshop in Oberwolfach on the theory and numerics of continuum mechanical fluid-solid/structure interaction. The characteristics of these coupled multi-field problems are that the displacement of the solid/structure has a direct influence on the surrounding flow and vice versa. This interaction is generally nonlinear making the modeling complicated. The mathematical analysis concentrates on the well-posedness of the models in order to provide a rigorous explanation of fundamental experiments. Various competing numerical approaches are discussed based on different variational formulations and mainly using finite element methods.
