Dynamics - Geometry - Structure

Mathematics is a key technology for scientific and economic progress. New discoveries in mathematics are not only interesting in themselves, but they often lead to unexpected breakthroughs in other sciences as well.

We will tackle fundamentally important mathematical problems, viewing mathematics as an organic whole with countless interactions. The research in our Cluster of Excellence "Mathematics Münster" is unified by three major approaches: focusing on the underlying structure of a given problem, taking the geometric viewpoint and studying the relevant dynamics of group or semigroup actions. The theories which we will build will not only solve the problems under consideration but also many others of a similar nature; these theories will also raise exciting new questions.

Nordseebrise, Strandblick und Mathematik

Schülerakademie auf Sylt

25 Mathematikbegeisterte Schülerinnen und Schüler der Jahrgangsstufen 10 und 11 aus Münster und dem Umland verbrachten vom 17. bis 22. Juni 2024 erlebnisreiche Tage bei der Mathematik-Sommerakademie auf Sylt. Prof. Dr. Michael Joachim und Prof. Dr. Matthias Löwe und die Doktorandinnen Isabel Lammers und Pia Dillmann hatten Workshops vorbereitet, die einen Blick in die Mathematik über den Schulstoff hinaus ermöglichte.

CRC Colloquium

11 July 2024, 2:15 pm

There will be two talks at the CRC Colloquium on 11 July 2024: Prof. Dr. Rudolf Zeidler: Codimension one obstructions to positive scalar curvature and Prof. Dr. Johannes Ebert: Positive scalar curvature, cobordisms and diffeomorphism groups. The talks take place at 2:00 pm in lecture hall M4.

Young Research Fellow: Philipp Reiser

We are delighted that Dr. Philipp Reiser joins our Cluster as a new Young Research Fellow. He is motivated by the long-standing question of how the topology and geometry of Riemannian manifolds interact. During his stay at Mathematics Münster from 1st to 26th July 2024, he is especially collaborating with Masoumeh Zarei.

New episode "On a Tangent"

with Azul Fatalini

In this episode of our podcast "On A Tangent", Simone is joined by Azul Fatalini, a doctoral researcher in Set Theory. Learn about how the Axiom of Choice transforms the universes it holds in, how logic is the mathematics of mathematics, and what’s the quickest path to ice cream.

New mathematical proof helps to solve equations with random components

Publication in "Inventiones Mathematicae" by Markus Tempelmayr

Many dynamic processes can be described by stochastic partial differential equations. Together with other researchers, Dr. Markus Tempelmayr, Postdoc at Mathematics Münster, has found a new method which helps to solve a certain class of such equations.

DFG extends Collaborative Research Centre "Geometry: Deformations and Rigidity"

Great news for Mathematics Münster: The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) has approved the extension of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) "Geometry: Deformations and Rigidity". The researchers will receive a funding of 8.5 million euros for another four years in order to further develop geometry both as a discipline in its own right and and as a tool for other mathematical areas.
