Once, in 2012, they thought they had reached their goal: Prof. Ralf Schindler and Prof. David Asperó presented to their community of fellow mathematicians a proof designed to unite two hitherto competing assumptions in set theory. Shortly afterwards the pair of researchers had to back-pedal after a colleague had discovered an error in their presentation.

The German Research Foundation has awarded €1 million in funding to the early-career research group headed by Dr. David Reutter in the Department of Mathematics at Universität Hamburg.

Burkhard Wilking has been awarded the Staudt Prize, and in this interview he talks about the fascination of mathematics.

Summer 2022 is looking good: Prof Gustav Holzegel and Prof Thomas Nikolaus, both members of the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, have been invited to talk about their research at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) being held in St Petersburg in July.

New research building planned at Münster University / Aim: scientific breakthroughs through close collaboration between different fields of mathematics Research buildings can house not only laboratories and large-scale equipment.

To be world chess champion - that was the plan when he was just eight years old. Although Gustav Holzegel did not achieve his aim, he can still be satisfied.
