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.

Successful Completion

On 22 July 2024, the graduation ceremony of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science took place in the "Schloss". All doctoral candidates who had successfully completed their doctorate in the summer semester 2024 were invited. In addition, the YAM Fellows were honoured with their certificates.

New Young Research Fellow: Simone Cecchini

We welcome Dr. Simone Cecchini as a new Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. He is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University and works at the interface of global analysis and topology. During his visit to Münster, he will continue his longstanding collaboration with Rudolf Zeidler on scalar curvature rigidity questions and exchange ideas with other scientists at Mathematics Münster.

First MMGS Poster Session

The first poster session of our Mathematics Münster Graduate School (MMGS) took place yesterday. The very well attended event started with short presentations at the "Posterblitz". Afterwards, the speakers gave detailed information about their research projects in the Cluster Lounge.

Young Topologists Meeting

5-9 August 2024

The Young Topologists Meeting (YTM) is an annual international conference aimed at early-career researchers in topology - both pure and applied - covering the whole breadth of the subject. It serves as a platform for graduates, PhD researchers and early postdocs to present their research, exchange ideas and build international connections.

New episode of "On a Tangent"

with Mert Bastug

In the second episode of our Mathematics Münster podcast "On A Tangent", host Simone Ramello meets Mert Bastug, a doctoral researcher in PDEs and Calculus of Variations. They talk about Mert’s first meeting with mathematics, how it is possible to understand materials with the help of PDEs, and where they might take us next.
