EKI-App: Energy-efficient artificial intelligence in the data center by approximating deep neural networks for field-programmable gate arrays
The goal of the project is to increase the energy efficiency of AI systems for DNN inference by approximation methods and mapping on high-performance FPGAs. By adapting, further developing and providing a software tool chain based on the open source tool FINN for the automated, optimized and hardware-adapted implementation of DNNs on FPGAs 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 ...

Physics of periodic and quasi-periodic polariton systems
Light-matter interaction has attracted a great deal of attention in modern physics and material sciences. Many unique and unconventional properties have been reported on the journey to the efficient control of light (or photons). A light-matter coupled state of particular current interest is the exciton-polariton, a quasiparticle composed of a ...

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 - 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 ...

Near-field coupled nonlocal optical metasurface for versatile polarization and bandstructure manipulations
Recent advances in the modern nanotechnology gave birth to ‘thin-flat-optics’ elements (the so-called optical metasurfaces), based on nanoscale structures, capable of versatile tailoring on the responses to light such as wave-fronts, amplitudes, polarization, and frequency. Despite the extremely reduced dimensions of the ‘flat-optics’ elements, the ...

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 ...

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 - Hereditary categories, reflection groups and non-commutative curves (Subproject C02)
There are deep connections between quiver representations and Coxeter groups involving the associated root systems, Lie algebras and quantum groups. We will study a parallel situation in which coherent sheaves on certain non-commutative curves, called exceptional curves, correspond to other types of reflection groups. Such exceptional curves ...
