Mathematical research priorities at the university of Göttingen

The mathematical research in Göttingen has a great tradition. Many basic mathematical theorems and objects are named after mathematicians who acted in Göttingen, for example Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, Riemann's integral and Noetherian's ring.

Nowadays as well, the mathematical research in Göttingen has a big value. There are two foundation-oriented research priorities (SP 1,2), two application-oriented research priorities (SP 3,4) and a research group in didactics:

SP 1: Modern geometry
Area of research Team
Mathematical physics and non-commutative geometry Dorothea Bahns
Algebraic geometry Frank Gounelas
Non-commutative geometry Ralf Meyer
Gauge theory Viktor Pidstrygach
Topology and geometry, geometry and analysis, K-theory of group C*-algebras Thomas Schick
Coarse geometry Federico Vigolo
Analysis of partial differential equations Ingo Witt
Differential geometry Chenchang Zhu
SP 2: Number theory
Area of research Team
Analytical number theory Jörg Brüdern
Analytical number theory Samuel J. Patterson (emerit.)
Analytical number theory Damaris Schindler
Arithmetical geometry, Drinfeld modules Ulrich Stuhler (emerit.)
Arithmetical geometry Evelina Viada
SP 3: Numerical and applied mathematics

Scientific computing, approximation, meshless methods Robert Schaback
Applied mathematics in the natural sciences Anne Wald
Discrete differential geometry Max Wardetzky
SP 4: Mathematical stochastic
Area of research Team
Statistics on Non-Euclidean Spaces Stephan Huckemann
Applied and Mathematical Statistics Axel Munk
High-dimensional Inference Daniel Rudolf

This and other research happens in the context of coordinated programs, cf. the link to cooperations.
