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 video series: MM Conversations

Early career researchers in dialogue

In this series of interviews, early career researchers from Mathematics Münster talk to speakers and participants of our MM events. We start with Mihalis Dafermos, professor at University of Princeton, who was interviewed by Milos Provci at the Mid-term Conference. We will be publishing another interview every Tuesday and Thursday until 16 May.

New podcast "On a Tangent"

First episode with Alex Tullini

In the first episode of our new Mathematics Münster podcast "On A Tangent", host Simone Ramello is joined by Alex Tullini, a doctoral researcher in General Relativity. We discuss Alex’s journey towards mathematics, going through oranges, eclipses, and the odd similarities between a career in mathematics and surgery.
