Research at the department
Department of Mathematics and Physics conducts research into mathematics, statistics and physics.
-
Algebraic geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which classically is devoted to the study of solutions of polynomial equations in several variables, so called algebraic varieties.
-
Complex and harmonic analysis
The field of complex analysis focuses on the study of calculus involving the complex numbers.
-
Materials science
Research activities within the materials science group focus on the structure and dynamics of novel materials.
-
Mathematical physics
In its broadest sense, mathematical physics may be construed as the application of rigorous mathematical methods to problems in physics.
-
Mathematical statistics
The mathematical statistics group concentrates on the following research fields: Statistical modeling of meteorological processes, Analysis of time to event data, Statistical processes control, Medical statistics, Computational Statistics, Econometric time series analysis.
-
Theoretical subatomic physics and cosmology
Many of the research activities in this group concern fundamental matter and charting out the different phases that may exist; the types of phase transitions that may have taken place in the early Universe and which could be reproduced in particle collider experiments.
