On 21 and 22 February 2022, the Berlin Mathematical School will host for the second year in a row its online BMS Days, the annual open door event for BMS applicants and new students. On Tuesday, 22 February 2022 all events will be open to
This colloquium talk will be devoted to the discussion of the important role played by functional inequalities in many areas of mathematics, giving examples and discussing the extremal functions and the best constants of some of the inequalities. Maria J. Esteban is a senior researcher at
Platonic solids are very special objects that exhibit an extremely high degree of symmetry. Regular polytopes are their generalization to higher dimensions and admit – no surprise – even higher degrees of symmetry. Jürgen Richter Gebert is full professor for Geometry and Visualization at the Technical
Chemical space, as of today, consists of more than 20 million substances linked by more than 40 million reactions. In an ongoing project, Jost is developing mathematical tools for analyzing this structure and its dynamics. Jürgen Jost has been director and permanent member of the Max
The talk gives an introduction to the analysis on arithmetic manifolds and presents classical techniques, a variety of applications and new directions in the sup-norm problem. Valentin Blomer is professor of mathematics at the University of Bonn. His area of research is analytic number theory and
According to a well-known dictum of Niels Henrik Abel, divergent series are the devil’s invention. In spite of that (or because of that), they appear in many different situations in physics and mathematics. This talk will first review some important examples of divergent series and
Motivated by the social distancing rules, this talk considers the task of fairly sharing a divisible good among several agents in a setting where every two agents' shares must be separated. This talk is based on joint work with Erel Segal-Halevi and Warut Suksompong. Edith Elkind
The Mendelssohn Society invites to an evening of lectures "About the Mendelssohn's, the Cholera and Higher Mathematics" on the occasion of Fanny Mendelssohn's, later Fanny Hensel (1805-1847), birthday. MATH+ member Stefanie Winkelmann from Zuse Institute Berlin will talk about pandemics and probability theory.
Our world is becoming increasingly complex, digitization is advancing, and ever-greater volumes of data are being produced every day. How can we use data to tackle major challenges facing our society or contribute to progress? MATH+ scientists will introduce aspects of the research spectrum with
During the Berlin Science Week (01-10 November 2021), MATH+ member Sarah Wolf offers a "Decision Theatre" to discuss sustainable mobility in small groups of participants. The results and potential impacts will be visualized on large screens based on mathematical modeling.
