After nearly three years in our spectral analysis group at Paderborn University, our postdoctoral colleague Dr. Hongwei Zhang is moving on to an exciting new chapter as a tenure-track full professor at the renowned Harbin Institute of Technology (China).
While we will truly miss him, we are very happy for this opportunity. We warmly thank him for his contributions and wish him all the best and continued success.
谢谢 (xièxiè, thank you), Hongwei!

The study group “Variations on Character Varieties” is a joint initiative by MPI Leipzig, Leipzig University, and Paderborn University. The study group investigates different definitions and topologies of character varieties, focusing on key subspaces and instructive examples. We contrast “flexible” cases, like discrete and faithful or quasi-Fuchsian representations, with “rigid” ones that may consist of only a few points, and also discuss…
From September 8 - 10, the conference Women in Harmonic Analysis took place in Paderborn. The conference was especially addressed to female mathematicians working in the broad field of harmonic analysis, both commutative and non-commutative, and the speakers should all be female.Nevertheless, anyone interested was welcome to attend!

From September 1–5, 2025, the Lie Theory, Spectra, and Dynamics conference took place in Paderborn.The event brought together researchers to explore recent advances in Lie theory, spectral theory, and dynamical systems on symmetric and homogeneous spaces. Participants engaged with diverse perspectives, ranging from representation theory to microlocal analysis, and connected with experts from across these interconnected fields.

This week the first release v1.0.0 of the open source Python package "PyZEAL" was published. The project is being developed by Philipp Schütte as part of his PhD in the research group spectral analysis and deals with the root finding problem for holomorphic functions. Additional information on how to obtain the package or contribute to it can be found here.
