We will not neglect the theoretical basics of functional programming (lambda calculus, monads, continuations), but one focus of this course is practical application. You will learn how functional devices are implemented in languages such as Scala, Java, and JavaScript and how they are used in frameworks such as streams, futures, distributed analytics, and reactive programming.

Historically, finite groups appeared in mathematics together with an action on some object, for example, as the groups of symmetries of polygons or polytopes. We are going to study, in some sense, the easiest possible actions of finite groups, namely, the linear actions on vector spaces. Such actions are called representations of finite groups. We will only consider representations in complex vector spaces.

Preliminary program:

Generalities on linear representations, irreducible representations and operation on representations. Character theory, Schur’s lemma, decompositions of representations. Subgroups and induced representations. Explicit examples. Representations of the symmetric group.

 Overview  

 The Classification of Finite Simple Groups was one of the biggest achievements in 20th century group theory. By Jordan Hölder theorem, every finite group has a composition series consisting of finite simple groups. So, finite simple groups can be seen as building blocks for all finite groups. According to the classification theorem, a finite non-abelian simple group is either an alternating group, or a simple group of Lie type or one of the 26 sporadic groups which are not belong to any infinite family. In this seminar, the theory of simple groups of Lie type as groups automorphisms of simple Lie algebras will be discussed from the basics. The classical simple groups will be introduced and then root systems and Weyl groups, Chevalley groups and their structure will be investigated. After dealing with automorphisms of Chevalley groups, at the end of the seminar, we will introduce some geometric structures associated with simple groups of Lie type.

Basics of non-standard analysis (according to Nelson)

In the analysis, calculating with in?nitesimalen sizes is formalized by the Grenzwertbegri?. Robinson has extended the body of real numbers so that it contains in?nitesimale elements, i.e. positive numbers that are smaller than all positive real numbers. Nelson later observed that the axioms of set theory can be expanded so that the "usual body" of the real numbers "standard" and "non-standard elements". Among the non-standard elements ?nden are again those that are positive and smaller than all positive standard elements.

 

The proseminar will discuss how the basic statements of the analysis can be reformulated and proven with the help of the in?nitesimalen elements. The proseminar is divided into the following sections:

I. Logical basis of NSA

II. Analysis I in the language of the NSA

III. advanced applications of NSA

IV. A look at Robinson's NSA

This course provides an opportunity for Master students to explore the Bioinformatics-related questions and problems that are being studied in the division of Neurobiology, together with their collaboration partners at the Konrad-Zuse-Institut (CIP). Goals: Students will become familiarized with both the use and structure of state-of-the-art, custom written software for (i) automated image analysis (tracking of flying insects from camera footage; filopodial dynamics of outgrowing axon growth cones), (ii) quantitative paradigms for measuring behavioral responses (Drosophila virtual flight arena; flies or bees walking on air-suspended balls), and (iii) quantitative analysis of physiological responses from neurons (Optophysiology and electrophysiology). Format: Every afternoon will begin with an introduction (Lecture) by the Lehrveranstalter(in), providing the Scientific context necessary for understanding the experiments that will be discussed during the following Übung. Ccomputer-based analysis of experimental data previously been collected in the Labs will follow.

Semesterbegleitend, 10-14 Termine

We will not neglect the theoretical basics of functional programming (lambda calculus, monads, continuations), but one focus of this course is practical application. You will learn how functional devices are implemented in languages such as Scala, Java, and JavaScript and how they are used in frameworks such as streams, futures, distributed analytics, and reactive programming.
