Mathematics Münster

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.

New episode "On a Tangent"

with Azul Fatalini

In this episode of our podcast "On A Tangent", Simone is joined by Azul Fatalini, a doctoral researcher in Set Theory. Learn about how the Axiom of Choice transforms the universes it holds in, how logic is the mathematics of mathematics, and what’s the quickest path to ice cream.

New mathematical proof helps to solve equations with random components

Publication in "Inventiones Mathematicae" by Markus Tempelmayr

Many dynamic processes can be described by stochastic partial differential equations. Together with other researchers, Dr. Markus Tempelmayr, Postdoc at Mathematics Münster, has found a new method which helps to solve a certain class of such equations.

Presentation of excellent research in the State Parliament

The 14 Clusters of Excellence in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) were invited to present the work of the research alliances in an exhibition in the the State Parliament in Düsseldorf. Our Cluster spokesperson Prof. Dr. Mario Ohlberger informed NRW Science Minister Ina Brandes about the research approach and results of Mathematics Münster.
