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.

Groups and Geometry in North Rhine-Westphalia

25 April 2025

This is a series of meetings, with the aim of bringing together the geometric group theorists, topologists, and geometers in the North-Rhine Westphalia region of Germany.

Conservations laws and non-reciprocity

5 – 8 May 2025

Both, non-reciprocity and mass conservation, have far reaching generic consequences for the universal dynamical behaviour of the concerned wide range of non-equilibrium systems. Results of many particular approaches to the mathematical modelling of such systems have shown that classical concepts of nonlinear and statistical physics, such as phase transitions, need to be reconsidered and developed further.

Spring School Women in Random Discrete Structures

12 – 14 May 2025

This spring school is devoted to several topics in probability theory, like point processes, interacting particle systems, random graphs and stochastic geometry, related by the common theme "Random Discrete Structures". The schedule will consist of three mini-courses as well as the number of short talks. We stress that attendance is of course open to everyone.

4th Workshop on Stochastic Geometry and Point Processes

22 May 2025

This is the forth in the series of workshops that institutionalize the tradition of the BOS-Workshops on stochastic geometry. The intention of this series is that researchers from the Westphalian Polygon of Locations (Bielefeld-Osnabrück-Münster-Bochum-Dortmund) meet once per semester to discuss their ongoing SPP 2265 research projects in an informal atmosphere and jointly develop new research ideas.

Girls' Day impressions

On 3 April 2025, the "Girls' Day", 24 school students visited us to learn more about studying and working as mathematicians. Here are some impressions of the programme, which involved many members of our Cluster.
