Retreat 2022 of the SFB-TRR 195


The first retreat of the scond period of the SFB-TRR 195 takes place from Tuesday, 22nd to Friday, 25th March, in the Ebernburg in Bad Münster am Stein. The organisors are Claus Fieker (OSCAR program part), Max Horn (OSCAR program part), Gunter Malle (General program) and Michael Kunte (Organisation).

Program

The main intention is to strengthen cooperation within SFB-TRR 195. Therefore, there will only be very few plenary lectures, instead all mathematical and all software focuses should be given enough opportunity to retreat and work together. In addition, there will be overview lectures for each mathematical focus and dedicated workshops concerning the OSCAR project.  The overview lectures will show the status of the respective subprojects and their general embedding.

Abstracts

  • Thomas Breuer’s talk: We report about the current status of and the methods used in the computation of the orthogonal discriminants
    of absolutely irreducible orthogonal representations of even degree that are tabulated in the Atlas of Brauer Characters and the Atlas of Finite Groups.
  • Roland Speicher’s talk: Besides some general information about the projects in the areas of non-commutative algebra and free probability theory I will report specifically about recent advances in project A14, where some of the main goals (rewriting combinatorial relations between moment and cumulant sequences into functional relations between corresponding generating power series; extension of free probability to higher genus) have recently been reached by the joint efforts of Gaëtan Borot, Séverin Charbonnier, Elba Garcia-Failde, Felix Leid, Sergey Shadrin.
  • Dan Corey’s talk: I will give an overview of abstract tropical curves and their relation to degenerating families of algebraic curves. Then I will discuss Jacobians of tropical curves, the tropical Torelli theorem of Caporaso-Viviani and Su-Wagner, and tropical curves of hyperelliptic type. Time permitting, I will report on recent work (with Jordan Ellenberg and Wanlin Li) related to the Ceresa cycle and its tropical manifestation.
  • Johnnes’ talk: For a finite symplectic reflection group G over the complex numbers acting on a vector space V, we are interested in a minimal model of the linear quotient V/G.
    We describe an algorithm by Yamagishi (2018) for the computation of the Cox ring of this minimal model which does not require prior knowledge of the minimal model.
    We remark on our current work of implementing this algorithm in OSCAR.
