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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
