Wei­er­strass Lec­ture 2025 - Prof. In­grid Daubech­ies

The lecture will be given by Prof. Ingrid Daubechies. Prof. Daubechies is the James B. Duke Professor at Duke University and was previously a professor and chair of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. Her fundamental contributions to the theory and application of wavelet methods are of vital importance in many areas of applied mathematics, extending to concrete technical implementations. For her work, she has received numerous…

At the Institute of Mathematics, our research spans from fundamental mathematical studies to interdisciplinary collaboration. In the CRC TRR 358 project, Integral Structures in Geometry and Representation Theory, mathematicians from analysis and algebra work across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Additionally, our research focuses on stochastics, applied mathematics, and close partnerships with industry. We also place strong emphasis on mathematics education, integrating it into the Institute through collaborative research projects between mathematics education specialists and mathematicians.

Wei­er­straß­vor­le­sung 2022

Der Weierstraß-Vortrag 2022 findet am 24. Juni statt. Der diesjährig Vortragende ist der Fields-Medaillen Träger Peter Scholze. Das Arbeitsgebiet von Prof. Dr. Peter Scholze liegt im Schnittfeld von Zahlentheorie und algebraischer Geometrie. Im Anschluss an sein Studium an der Universität Bonn als Stipendiat der Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes wurde er im Jahr 2012 bei Michael Rapoport promoviert. Anschließend wurde Peter Scholze im Alter von 24 Jahren auf eine der Hausdorff-Mathematik-Professuren beim Exzellenzcluster in Bonn berufen.

Für seine Arbeit wurde Peter Scholze mehrfach ausgezeichnet und erhielt für die „Umwälzung der arithmetischen algebraischen Geometrie über p-adischen Körpern durch die Einführung perfektoider Räume mit Anwendung auf Galois-Darstellungen und für die Entwicklung neuer Kohomologie-Theorien“ die Fields-Medaille.

Mehr Informationen finden Sie auf der Seite der Weierstraß-Vorlesung.
