TRR 358 - Geodesic flows and Weyl chamber flows on affine buildings (B04)
Affine buildings and their quotients are geometric objects which come along with interesting dynamical systems. This project studies geodesic flows and Weyl chamber flows on such buildings. More precisely, the project aims to develop a spectral theory of joint Ruelle-Taylor resonances for the Weyl chamber flows and study equidistribution properties ...

TRR 358 - Spectral theory in higher rank and infinite volume (B02)
Spectral theory is a fundamental tool for the investigation of locally symmetric spaces which, in the classical context, usually have finite volume. Already for spaces real rank one, say quotients of the upper half plane by a discrete group of infinite covolume, very interesting and characteristic spectral phenomena happen. The case of higher rank ...

TRR 358 - Affine Kac–Moody groups: algebra, analysis and arithmetic (Subprojct A05)
Affine Kac-Moody groups and related groups (like loop groups) will be studied from several perspectives. We shall investigate finiteness properties of special linear groups over Laurent polynomials over the ring of integers. We also strive to classify certain maximal Lie orders corresponding to trigonometric solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter ...

TRR 358; TP A04: Combinatorial Euler products
Euler products are the incarnation of local-global principles. They often arise as leading constants of an asymptotic formula describing a counting problem in algebra or number theory, and they encode the underlying integral structures. Prototypes are the conjectures of Manin and Malle. The Euler products and their associated zeta functions ...

TRR 358; TP A02: Algebraic and arithmetic aspects of aperiodicity
This project aims at the analysis and classification of certain topological dynamical systems of geometric and number-theoretic origin. In particular, the systems induced by k-free integers in orders of algebraic number fields will be investigated via their generalised symmetries, their topological entropy and other number-theoretic invariants. ...

TRR 358 - Integral structures in geometry and representation theory
Integral structures arise in many places throughout mathematics: as lattices in Euclidean space, as integral models of reductive groups and algebraic schemes, or as integral representations of groups and associative algebras. Even questions about the most basic example of an integral structure, the ring of integers Z, very soon lead into the fields ...

Symplectic discretizations for optimal control problems in mechanics
The optimal control of mechanical problems is omnipresent in our technically affected daily living as well as in many scientific questions. As analytical solutions of optimal control problems are in general not available, applications rely on numerical simulations that are robust and accurate, and directly utilizable by engineers. For general ...

CREXDATA: Critical Action Planning over Extreme-Scale Data
Project visionCREXDATA's vision is to develop a data platform for real-time critical situation management. This should also enable flexible action planning and agile decision making on data of extreme size and complexity. Within CREXDATA, algorithms, software architectures, and tools are being developed for networked predictive analytics and ...

Understanding and optimizing triplet exciton transfer at organic-inorganic interfaces: Microscopic calculations
Photovoltaics play an important role for the provision of clean and renewable energy. Presently, silicon solar cells dominate the market. However, they have a serious efficiency limitation: The photon energy in excess of the silicon band gap is transformed into unwanted heat. Singlet exciton fission, in which two triplet excitons are generated from ...
