In this talk, Alexei Skorobogatov will survey the local-to-global principle for rational points, also known as the Hasse principle, with a focus on surfaces. He is Professor of Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London and works in arithmetic geometry, in particular on rational points and
Mathematical research is thrilling and beautiful—but also sometimes frustrating and overwhelming. Is getting stuck normal? Does everyone else really make constant progress? Join a candid talk with Gavril Farkas, Andrea Walther, and Alexandra Wesolek on coping with dead ends, setbacks, and the long, often lonely
In the last Kovalevskaya colloquium of 2025, Niethammer will give an overview of the basic properties of coagulation equations, explain some of the main challenges in its analysis and report on recent progress Barbara Niethammer is Professor at the Institute for Applied Mathematics at the University
In this talk, Böttcher will introduce he area of graph and hypergraph decompositions, with background, motivation, and some history, indicating how randomness and quasirandomness are instrumental for tackling these problems. Julia Böttcher is professor in Mathematics at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Starting with Schrödinger's critique of the difficulty of visualising Heisenberg's matrix quantum physics, Hausel will discuss the notion of non-commutative matrices and its use in particle physics via Gell-Mann's eightfold way describing heavy particles in terms of quarks. Tamás Hausel has been full professor of mathematics
As in previous years, the Berlin Clusters of Excellence are once again teaming up to organize a SCIENCE SLAM at the Berlin Science Week 2025 on November 6. The Science Slam has, as always, attracted a lot of interest in the research coming out of
Steidl introduces a novel general framework for constructing generative models using one-dimensional noising processes beyond diffusion. Gabriele Steidl is professor for Applied Mathematics at the Institute of Mathematics at the TU Berlin.
In der Vortragsreihe MATHINSIDE geben Wissenschaftler*innen des Exzellenzclusters MATH+ spannende Einblicke in ihre Forschungsarbeit und in die Anwendungsgebiete der Mathematik. Das Vortragsprogramm eignet sich hervorragend als Ausflugsziel für Schulklassen und -kurse ab Klassenstufe 10.
Florian Frick will discuss geometric, quantitative versions of these ideas: if two spaces are not the same, to what extent do they differ? If a space cannot sit inside another, how much discontinuity is forced on any injective function? Florian Frick is an alumnus of the
In the last talk of the summer semester, Andrea Walther will introduce already established optimality conditions based on generalized derivative concepts for unconstrained nonsmooth problems and then move on to new optimality conditions for a large class of piecewise smooth functions using so-called kink qualifications. Andrea
