Mathematics Münster

This is a joint seminar of research groups from Bielefeld and Münster. It started in 2015 and usually takes place once every semester, either in Bielefeld or in Münster. The topics of interest include group theory, geometry and topology. Everyone is welcome to participate in the lectures.

Dr. Maxime Ramzi and Prof. Dr. Thomas Nikolaus will give a talk "Euler characteristics, algebraic K-Theory and the Farrell-Jones conjecture" at the CRC Colloquium on 15 July 2025. The talk takes place at 4 pm in lecture hall M2. An informal reception will follow in the Cluster Common Room.

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.

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.

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!

Great joy at Mathematics Münster: Today, Thursday (22 May), the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German Science and Humanities Council (WR) announced that the Cluster of Excellence "Mathematics Münster: Dynamics - Geometry - Structure" will be founded for a further seven years from January 2026. This makes the Cluster one of 70 research centres at German universities that are being funded in the "first funding line" of the Excellence Strategy. They prevailed in the competition with a total of 98 applications.
