This paper presents a part of a more detailed study into the organisation of a community festival in the East Midlands of the UK. The focus is on how the central steering group imposed a restricted sense of culture onto the festival and how the local communities were distanced from the processes. The literature on festivals is critically reviewed before the issues of involvement and inclusion a...

The goal of the workshop was to explore the appearance of Dedekind sums [7, 18] in many different areas of geometry and number theory, with the hopes of illuminating new connections. We hoped that the balance between the lectures and free time as well as the intimate setting of the Banff Research Station would stimulate many informal discussions and collaborations. We were delighted to see that...

Let P be a naturally labelled, ranked (graded) poset of rank r and cardinality n. Let Hk be the set of linear extensions of P with k descents. An explicit bijection between Hk and Hn−1−r−k is constructed using the involution principle (0 k n−1− r). A problem of Richard P. Stanley from 1981 is thereby solved.  2004 Elsevier Inc.

We present detailed summaries of the talks that were given during a weeklong workshop on Arithmetic Groups at the Banff International Research Station in April 2013, organized by Kai-Uwe Bux (University of Bielefeld), Dave Witte Morris (University of Lethbridge), Gopal Prasad (University of Michigan), and Andrei Rapinchuk (University of Virginia). The vast majority of these reports are based on...

We present a Dempster–Shafer (DS) approach to estimating limits from Poisson counting data with nuisance parameters. Dempster– Shafer is a statistical framework that generalizes Bayesian statistics. DS calculus augments traditional probability by allowing mass to be distributed over power sets of the event space. This eliminates the Bayesian dependence on prior distributions while allowing the ...
