Courant Research Center Göttingen: Higher order structures in Mathematics
One of the most pronounced characteristics of modern mathematics and
theoretical physics is the unifying role of structural aspects, allowing to
establish and exploit interrelations between different fields. It originated in
algebra, and has now spread to geometry, analysis, and quantum physics. The
research center "Higher order structures in Mathematics" will focus on
applications of this approach to problems in algebraic geometry, number theory,
quantum physics and topology.
The core of the center will be three Junior Research groups:
