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.
The Berlin Excellence Clusters are jointly organizing again a “SCIENCE SLAM” for the Berlin Science Week 2023. Last year’s SCIENCE SLAM showed how much fun we had and the interest we attracted for the research of the participating Excellence Clusters. Make sure not to miss
In this last talk of the summer semester, Kuehn will first provide an introduction to multiple time scale dynamics and then outline several recent advances for fast-slow PDEs. Christian Kuehn is professor of Mathematics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). After the talk, the MATH+
This talk is an invitation to modern aspects of the interaction of group theory and operator algebras. It focuses on simplicity and decomposition results for various algebras arising from groups and their interpretation in representation theoretic terms. Sven Raum is professor for algebra at the University
