Fundamental structures in computational and pure mathematics.

Our six research themes study local and global structures, symmetry and order, and relationships between continuous and discrete mathematics.

Shared questions

  • What are the underlying foundations of structured and efficient computations in mathematics?
  • How does symmetry, respectively order, facilitate and structure computational processes?
  • Which modern algebraic structures build new bridges between the continuous and the discrete?

Research themes

The six themes overlap: methods and questions from one area often turn out to be useful in another.

Connections

How does geometry guide computation on manifolds?

Deformations

How can mathematical structures vary while preserving their essential properties?

Compositions

What can we learn from the ways mathematical objects compose?

Linearization

How can nonlinear problems become tractable through linear methods?

Polynomials

What do polynomial systems reveal about algebra, geometry and computation?
