We are Mathematics Münster

Prof. Dr. Kilian Raschel (CNRS, Université de Tours) is a Münster Research Fellow and visits our Cluster for the third time. He works at the interface of combinatorics, harmonic analysis, and probability. He is widely regarded as one of the leading European researchers in modern random walk theory. During his stay in Münster from 15 July to 15 August 2026 he will further conduct joint research with Prof. Dr. Gerold Alsmeyer and Prof. Dr. Zakhar Kabluchko on persistence problems for autoregressive and moving average processes. 

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.
