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.

4th Workshop on Stochastic Geometry and Point Processes

22 May 2025

This is the forth in the series of workshops that institutionalize the tradition of the BOS-Workshops on stochastic geometry. The intention of this series is that researchers from the Westphalian Polygon of Locations (Bielefeld-Osnabrück-Münster-Bochum-Dortmund) meet once per semester to discuss their ongoing SPP 2265 research projects in an informal atmosphere and jointly develop new research ideas.

YMCN Summer School in Interacting Random Systems

16 – 20 June 2025

Our summer school in stochastic analysis will feature lectures by leading experts in the field. The programme will cover modern aspects of stochastic analysis, pertaining to the long-time analysis of dynamical systems. Topics of interest will include, e.g., interacting particle systems and scaling limits. The school is designed for young researchers, offering an opportunity to interact with other researchers and young mathematicians in the field.
