Mathematics Münster

There will be a talk at the CRC Colloquium on 15 July 2026 at 4:00 pm. Prof. Dr. Eva Viehmann and Dr. Paul Philippe will speak about "Automorphisms of generic abelian varieties in positive characteristic". The lecture will take place in lecture hall M2. Get-together afterwards in the Cluster Common Room.

Prof. Dr. Elia Brue (University of Bocconi) will give a talk entitled "Collapse under Ricci curvature bounds" at the Colloquium Wilhelm Killing on 16 July 2026. Tea time starts at 3:15 pm in the Cluster Common Room.

This second M²A² workshop aims to further mathematical modeling and model falsification in the sciences and to point out important new mathematical theories being and having to be developed for a better understanding of real world phenomena.

The Young Geometers meeting aims at bridging subareas of Differential Geometry by bringing together early career researchers working in geometry and related fields. The focus of the conference is therefore to provide networking opportunities for advanced master students, doctoral researchers and early career postdocs.

This year, the exhibition ship MS Wissenschaft is dedicated to the theme of the medicine of the future. At the "Zukunftsmarkt" on 4 July 2026, researchers from the Mathematics Münster Cluster of Excellence demonstrated at an interactive exhibit how mathematical models help to improve the treatment of conditions such as epilepsy and psychotic disorders.

Last week, the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science held its graduation ceremony in the "Schloss". All doctoral graduates who successfully completed their doctorate in the past year were invited to attend, along with their families and friends. We congratulate all graduates, especially the 15 doctoral graduates from Mathematics Münster!

In the new podcast episode, Carlo speaks with Benjamin Brück about his journey to Münster, away from it, and ultimately back again, the stations and challenges along the way and his connection to music. In his research Benjamin is focusing on high dimensional cohomology of arithmetic groups.

The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) will begin in Philadelphia at the end of this month. Two investigators from our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster have been invited to speak at the world's most prestigious mathematics congress. Prof. Dr. Ralf Schindler will present a joint lecture with Prof. Dr. David Asperó entitled "Forcing Axioms and the Continuum Problem: Hilbert's First Problem Revisited." Prof. Dr. Dr. Katrin Tent will talk on "From the Cherlin–Zilber Conjecture via Sharply 2-Transitive Groups to the Burnside Problem." Read more about their talks and, in short interviews, learn what being invited to the ICM means to them.
