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.

Curvature and Global Shape

28 July – 1 August 2025

The purpose of the meeting is to study relationships between local and global invariants in Riemannian Geometry. Our intention is to bring together experts in the field as well as young mathematicians.

YMCN autumn school: Probability and dynamics on groups

22–26 September 2025

The interaction between probability, dynamics and group theory is an active and growing area of research with exciting recent developments. The goals of this autumn school are to expose young researchers to the diverse set of available tools in these areas, to facilitate collaborations and to stimulate new interactions.

Perspectives on the cohomology of general linear groups

6 – 10 October 2025

This workshop focuses on recent advances around the (co-)homology of general linear and related groups. These basic topological invariants are, for example, related to questions in algebraic K-theory and conjectures in number theory. Their study can be approached from many different mathematical perspectives, each using their own set of techniques.

New WiRe Fellow: Amra Hasečić

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Amra Hasečić as a WiRe Fellow at Mathematics Münster. Originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, she has joined the group led by Mario Ohlberger as a postdoctoral researcher. Her research focuses on investigating the potential of machine learning to predict internal temperature fields in fluid flows, utilising data from simplified simulations that do not account for radiation.

Interdisciplinary research on the dynamics of infectious diseases

Research at the new "Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Dynamics" (IMMIDD) , which had its Inaugural Symposium at the University of Münster on 10 July, aims to contribute to the fight against pandemics. Prof. Dr. Christian Engwer, a member of our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, is involved in the center. In a guest article, he explains the role that numerical simulations play in this research. [de]

A milestone on the academic journey

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 25 doctoral graduates from Mathematics Münster!

Second MMGS Poster Session

The second poster session of our Mathematics Münster Graduate School (MMGS) took place on 2 July. The very well attended event started with short presentations at the "Poster Blitz". Afterwards, the speakers gave detailed information about their research projects in the Cluster Lounge.
