We are Mathematics Münster

We aim to further develop mathematics in Münster into a research centre with high international visibility. We will tackle fundamentally important mathematical problems, viewing mathematics as an organic whole with countless interactions.

In order to reach our goals, we will follow three key principles: connecting mathematical fields, supporting early career researchers, and improving equal opportunity and compatibility of family and career.

Connecting Fields

Mathematics Münster provides an umbrella integrating the four mathematical institutes of the University of Münster (Mathematical Institute, Institute for Analysis and Numerics, Institute for Mathematical Stochastics and the Institute for Mathematical Logic and Foundations of Mathematics) in order to foster collaboration between the 16 mathematical fields and scientific exchange.

Mathematischer Durchbruch inspiriert von der Stringtheorie

Dr. Ksenia Fedosova, postdoc at Mathematics Münster, has, along with Prof. Dr. Kim Klinger-Logan and Dr. Danylo Radchenko, proven a conjecture related to so-called 4-graviton scattering, which physicists proposed for certain equations. The results have been published in the renowned journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" (PNAS).
