In this Kovalevskaya lecture, Wienhard will take a tour leading from hyperbolic geometry into a completely new world in the study of Lie groups and their discrete subgroups. Anna Wienhard is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. Her
After discussing the history of sphere packings in very large dimension, Sahasrabudhe will describe a novel but simple approach to constructing the densest known sphere packings in large dimension. Julian Sahasrabudhe is faculty at the University of Cambridge, where he has been since 2021. In
Sorger will give a gentle introduction to classification questions in the field, first for the affine, and then for the compact case. No specific knowledge of algebraic geometry will be assumed. Christoph Sorger has been a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Nantes in France
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. Am 14.03.2024 gibt es Vorträge von Christof Schütte, Antonia Chmiela und
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
