Am 9. Oktober heißt es wieder: Einschalten zur „Mathenacht aus Berlin, Bonn und Münster“! Wissenschaftler*innen der Exzellenzcluster MATH+ (Berlin), Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (Bonn) und Mathematik Münster zeigen online in Workshops für Kinder und Jugendliche, einer Talkrunde zu "KI und die Zukunft der Mathematik" sowie drei Vorträgen, wie vielfältig und faszinierend Mathematik sein kann....

We will introduce some fundamental concepts from probability theory, including central limit fluctuations, large deviation principles, and Brownian motion, beginning with the flip of a coin. We will then introduce interacting particle systems like the symmetric simple exclusion and zero range particle processes. Our goal will be to understand and quantify the probability of rare events in such sys...

The Crelle journal, founded in 1826, has been closely linked to the University of Berlin and the Berlin Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The conference will focus on recent development of prominent moduli spaces in mathematics, starting from moduli space of curves, introduced by Bernhard Riemann in 1857 in his paper "Theorie der Abelschen Functionen," published in Crelle's journal.

The classical isoperimetric inequality in Euclidean space Rⁿ states that among all sets of prescribed volume, the Euclidean ball (uniquely) minimizes surface area, explaining why a single soap bubble is always a round sphere. One may similarly consider isoperimetric problems in more general spaces, such as in the n-sphere Sⁿ and in n-dimensional Gaussian space Gⁿ (i.e. Rⁿ endowed with the standard...

The Hungarian discrete mathematician László Lovász, renowned for his groundbreaking work in graph theory, combinatorics, and computer science, is a former president of the International Mathematical Union and a recipient of both the Wolf Prize and the Abel Prize. In his talk, he will explain the discovery of intriguing connections between combinatorial and analytic approaches to submodularity.

Quiz-Fans und Science-Enthusiast*innen aufgepasst! Auch 2026 laden die Berliner Exzellenzcluster wieder zum „Exzellenten Pub Quiz“ bei der „Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften“ ein – mit spannenden, lustigen und überraschenden Fragen aus ihren vielfältigen Forschungsbereichen. Stellt ein Team (2–4 Personen) mit kreativem Teamnamen zusammen, diskutiert und rätselt mit!
