Dear colleagues, dear students,

additional by myself.

Attached is the detailed program with abstracts for the talks. Everyone is
cordially invited! If you intend to attend the workshop, please reply
simply with "yes" to this email by Sept. 29 (this Friday) so that I know
roughly how many cookies to buy. Spontaneous attendance is of course also
possible.

Best,
