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.

YMCN Spring School: Recent advances in SPDEs

24 – 28 March 2025

This workshop on Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDE) aims to provide an intensive series of lectures delivered by leading researchers in the field. Over the course of a week, young researchers will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of SPDE and foster scientific exchange. The goal is to stimulate collaboration and advance knowledge among junior researchers through expert-led sessions and interactive discussions.

Conservations laws and non-reciprocity

5 – 8 May 2025

Both, non-reciprocity and mass conservation, have far reaching generic consequences for the universal dynamical behaviour of the concerned wide range of non-equilibrium systems. Results of many particular approaches to the mathematical modelling of such systems have shown that classical concepts of nonlinear and statistical physics, such as phase transitions, need to be reconsidered and developed further.

New Young Research Fellow: Peter Morfe

We welcome Dr. Peter Morfe as a new Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. He is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig and an expert in the theory of homogenisation of elliptic and parabolic differential operators, including operators with random coefficients. During his stay until the end of February, he will collaborate with Guilherme De Lima Feltes and Hendrik Weber.

New Humboldt postdocs have started at Mathematics Münster

As a Henriette Herz Scout, Prof. Dr. Franziska Jahnke can recommend postdocs from abroad for a Humboldt Research Fellowship. Now the investigator of Mathematics Münster has taken this opportunity to bring Dr. Mariana Vicaria and Dr. Floris Vermeulen to Münster. In this interview, they talk about their reasons to come to Münster, their research projects, and their start.

New Young Research Fellow: Radhika Gupta

We welcome Dr. Radhika Gupta as a new Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. She is a Reader at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Her work is mostly in geometric group theory, where she made important contributions on the geometry of CAT(0) groups and free-by-cyclic groups. During her stay until mid February, she will work on this topic with Benjamin Brück and Katrin Tent, but she is always open for mathematical exchange on various topics.
