Mini-Workshop: Women in Mathematics: Historical and Modern Perspectives

2017, Oswald, Nicola, Tobies, Renate

The 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.

Algebraic K-theory and Motivic Cohomology

2013, Huber-Klawitter, Annette, Jannsen, Uwe, Levine, Marc

Algebraic 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.

Algebraic K-theory

2019, Hesselholt, Lars, Huber-Klawitter, Annette, Kerz, Moritz

Algebraic $K$-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.

Analytic Number Theory

2019, Matomäki, Kaisa, Vaughan, Robert C., Wooley, Trevor D.

Analytic number theory is a subject which is central to modern mathematics. There are many important unsolved problems which have stimulated a large amount of activity by many talented researchers. At least two of the Millennium Problems can be considered to be in this area. Moreover in recent years there has been very substantial progress on a number of these questions.

Advanced Computational Engineering

2012, Carstensen, Carsten, Schröder, Jörg, Wriggers, Peter

The 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.

Algebraic Statistics

2017, Kahle, Thomas, Sturmfels, Bernd, Uhler, Caroline

Algebraic 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.

Algebraische Zahlentheorie

2014, Kings, Guido, Sujatha, Ramdorai, Venjakob, Otmar

The 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.

Algebraic Groups

2013, Jantzen, Jens Carsten, Reichstein, Zinovy

Linear 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.
