YMCN autumn school: Probability and dynamics on groups

22 – 26 September 2025

The interaction between probability, dynamics and group theory is an active and growing area of research with exciting recent developments. The goals of this autumn school are to expose young researchers to the diverse set of available tools in these areas, to facilitate collaborations and to stimulate new interactions.

Perspectives on the cohomology of general linear groups

6 – 10 October 2025

This workshop focuses on recent advances around the (co-)homology of general linear and related groups. These basic topological invariants are, for example, related to questions in algebraic K-theory and conjectures in number theory. Their study can be approached from many different mathematical perspectives, each using their own set of techniques.

Focus Programmes

To facilitate scientific exchange in mathematics and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer, we organise an annual Focus Programme on a current topic. The workshops and conferences allow time for individual discussions, fostering collaboration, especially with early-career researchers from Münster.

Topics of recent years:

  • Actions of totally disconnected locally compact groups on discrete structures
  • Effective and dynamic behaviour of random structures
  • Geometry and PDEs: from theory to applications
  • Operator algebras and topological dynamics: amenability and beyond

Bielefeld-Münster Seminar on Groups, Geometry and Topology

15 July 2025

This is a joint seminar of research groups from Bielefeld and Münster. It started in 2015 and usually takes place once every semester, either in Bielefeld or in Münster. The topics of interest include group theory, geometry and topology. Everyone is welcome to participate in the lectures.
