2026

Our Cluster of Excellence "Mathematics Münster: Dynamics – Geometry – Structure" entered its second funding period this month. At a general assembly, the participating researchers elected the Cluster spokespersons, the executive board and further committees, thereby setting the organisational course for continuing successful scientific collaboration.

Prof. Dr. Martin Taylor (Imperial College London) will give a talk entitled "Phase mixing and the Vlasov equation in cosmology" at the Colloquium Wilhelm Killing on 29 January 2026. Tea time starts at 3:15 pm in the Cluster Common Room.  

Due to a large number of common mathematical interests in very diverse fields of mathematics, we decided to introduce a themed meeting bringing together researchers from the two institutions in related areas. The main objective is to get an idea about research interests and projects in each others' department (specifically at the PhD and postdoc level) and to provide a forum for future collaborations.

There will be two talks at the CRC Colloquium on 23 January 2026 at 4:15 pm. Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Winter will speak about "Underlying dynamics of classifiable C*-algebras: Paper-folding models of the CAR algebra". Prof. Dr. Shirly Geffen will give a talk entitled "Stable rank one in nonnuclear C*-algebras". These two lectures will take place in lecture hall M4. Get-together afterwards in the Cluster Common Room.

Prof. Dr. Anita Winter (Universität Duisburg-Essen) will speak about "Scaling limit of the Aldous-Broder chain on regular graphs: the transient regime" at the RTG Colloquium on 21 January 2026 at 5:00 pm. The talk will take place in room 216/217. Before the talk there will be an introductory talk for doctoral researchers and postdocs by Anita Winter at 4:00 pm and coffee and tea in the Cluster Lounge at 4:30 pm.

Schülerinnen ab der 7. Klasse sind am Donnerstag, 23. April 2026, am Exzellenzcluster Mathematik Münster und am Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik eingeladen, Einblicke in das Studium und die Berufswelt von Mathematikerinnen zu bekommen. Jetzt anmelden!

A major recognition for Prof. Dr. Franziska Jahnke and Dr. Konstantinos Kartas: On 31 January 2026, research results of the two members of Mathematics Münster will be presented at the "Séminaire N. Bourbaki" in Paris. The internationally renowned seminar series is considered a barometer of current developments in mathematical research.
