Mathematics Münster

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.

New film on Mathematics Münster

We are excited to present a new film about Mathematics Münster that offers authentic insights into the work at our Cluster of Excellence. The film highlights the research approach of Mathematics Münster and shows why Münster is an attractive place to work and research, especially for young mathematicians.

New Young Research Fellow: Amandine Escalier

We welcome Dr. Amandine Escalier as a new Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. She works in geometric group theory and measured dynamics at Université Lyon 1. She plans to work with Linus Kramer on graph products and right-angled Artin groups, and with David Kerr on orbit equivalence of measurable actions.

"NRW-Schülerakademie Mathematik und Informatik" visits Münster University

In order to give particularly talented high school students an insight into study programmes and research, the University of Münster has been a cooperation partner of the "Schülerakademie für Mathematik und Informatik NRW" (SMIMS) since 2022. Last week, the young maths talents visited our Faculty and our Cluster of Excellence to listen to short lectures and receive individual advice on study programmes and careers in science.
