About our research
Research
The Master's programme in Mathematics is offered in collaboration with the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics (IMAPP), and specifically the Mathematics department within IMAPP. IMAPP conducts fundamental research in mathematics, astrophysics, and high energy physics with a focus on interdisciplinary topics. Research themes include geometry and topology, randomness and data science, theoretical and numerical aspects of partial differential equations, mathematical general relativity and many more.

Research groups
During your Master's you can do your thesis project at one of our research groups within the Mathematics department. They often also collaborate with other science groups on interdisciplinary research projects. Relevant groups are:
The research within this group is characterised by its interdisciplinary aspect. There are close links to the groups in Applied Stochastics and Mathematical Physics as well as to other research institutes at uu77. This group focusses both on the theoretical and numerical aspects of the problems, and currently specialises in the following themes: Applied Analysis, Modelling and Applications, and Numerics and Computation.
For many complex systems in nature and society, randomness provides an efficient description with great explanatory and predictive power. Stochastics is the area of mathematics that deals with processes and objects where randomness plays a role.
This group focusses on modern mathematical physics, especially on of the two great fundamental theories of physics: namely general relativity and quantum (field) theory. Their interest lies in both the pure and applied mathematical topics needed here, but also in applications to the frontiers of fundamental physics. There is a strong collaboration with the neighboring departments of astrophysics and high-energy physics.
Pure Mathematics is a very broad area that includes many subfields. Among the main directions that are represented in this research group are the following: Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry, Algebraic Topology, Differential Geometry, Logic and Computer Algebra, Number Theory, and Representation Theory and Lie Theory.
