The last MATH+ Friday of the winter semester 2023/24 is a Kovalevskaya Colloquium. This talk will present a toy model for the development of a hyphal network, whose main aim is to identify a small number of key parameters describing the growth of the fungus
Thomas Nikolaus will indicate how modern tools (such as prismatic cohomology, p-adic Hodge theory, higher algebra) make it possible to tackle fundamental computations, such as K-Theory of finite rings, which have remained open since the 1970s. Thomas Nikolaus is professor of mathematics at the University of
Maclagan will give a gentle introduction to this twenty-first century field, giving some idea of where it can be applied, both inside and outside algebraic geometry. Diane Maclagan is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom.
Given an isolated complex singularity, any smoothing (i.e. Milnor fibre) of it is naturally a symplectic manifold. This leads to a rich interplay, first suggested by Arnol’d. Ailsa Keating works on problems in symplectic geometry and homological mirror symmetry. In the summer of 2023, she moved
While others hiding chocolates, the MATH+ Advent Calendar (in English and German) is challenging you with mathematical brainteasers! The 24 challenges of the MATH+ Advent Calendar invite you to dive into MATH+ research projects. Join in and have fun!
The study of equations in the language of groups has a long history and many applications. Thom will explain how topological methods can be applied to solve equations over groups and also mention some recent advances in the study of identities for finite and infinite
Wissenschaftler*innen der Mathematik-Exzellenzcluster aus Berlin (MATH+), Bonn (Hausdorff Center for Mathematics) und Münster (Mathematik Münster) zeigen in Workshops und Vorträgen wie vielfältig und faszinierend Mathematik ist. Zum Spielstart der "Mathe-Adventskalender" am 1. Dezember gibt es als besondere Zugabe eine Stunde Mathe-Knobeln.
This talk is offered within the framework of the performative event A History of the Domino Problem created by sound artist Michael Winter. Jarkko Kari is a professor of mathematics at the University of Turku in Finland. His research interests include automata theory and the
This talk will give an introduction to approximation algorithms for network design. Traub will first review the iterative rounding technique from Jain’s classical algorithm and then discuss some of the techniques underlying recent progress in the area. Vera Traub is a professor at the Research Institute
Mathematics graduates have many career options and opportunities, which will be presented at this workshop. The event is aimed at students in particular and is free of charge. Parts of the workshop will be held in German. Registration is necessary.
