Berlin Mathematics Research Center

MATH+, the Berlin Mathematics Research Center, is a cross-institutional and interdisciplinary Cluster of Excellence. It sets out to explore and further develop new approaches in application-oriented mathematics. Emphasis is placed on mathematical principles for using ever larger amounts of data in life and material sciences, in energy and network research, and in the humanities and social sciences.

MATH+ is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under Germany´s Excellence Strategy (EXC-2046/1, project ID 390685689) for a first period of seven years since January 2019. It is a joint project of the three major universities in Berlin – Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Technische Universität Berlin – as well as the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) and the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB). MATH+ continues the success stories of the renowned Research Center Matheon and the Excellence-Graduate School Berlin Mathematical School (BMS).

31 May – Anna Wienhard: Beyond hyperbolic geometry (Kovalevskaya Colloquium)

14.05.2024

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 interests lie in geometry, group theory and dynamics.

3 May – Julian Sahasrabudhe: A new lower bound for sphere packing

24.04.2024

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 2023, he was awarded the Salem Prize.

19 April – Christoph Sorger: Holomorphic symplectic geometry

08.04.2024

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 since 1999.
