Jason Lotay explains how mathematicians studying special geometries are collaborating with physicists to explore M-theory, an 11-dimensional description of the world that unifies the various string ...

Algebraic geometry and number theory intersect in the study of solutions to polynomial equations and their symmetries. Algebraic geometry provides a language of schemes and varieties to capture ...

George Daniel Mostow, a Yale professor emeritus renowned for his contributions in geometry, has been awarded a 2013 Wolf Foundation Prize, one of the top international awards for mathematicians.

Group theory is a formal method for analysing, in terms of symmetry groups, abstract and physical systems in which symmetry is present. For example, group theory classifies regular polyhedra, crystal ...

This is a joint seminar of research groups from Bielefeld and Münster. It started in 2015 and usually takes place once every semester, either in Bielefeld or in Münster. The topics of interest include ...

LANL researchers (2026) validated Schrödinger's color perception theory using advanced geometry. Color perception is non-Riemannian, explaining diminishing returns in color differences. The model ...

Our research group is concerned with two lines of investigation: the construction and study of (new) cohomology theories for algebraic varieties and the study of various aspects of the Langlands ...
