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 University of Munich.

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 Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig since 1996.

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 automorphic forms.

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 then show that there is a hidden and rich mathematical structure associated to them. Marcos Mariño is a Professor of...

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 is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.

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.
