TheMax Planck Institute for Mathematics (German:Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik,MPIM) is a research institute located inBonn,Germany. It is named in honor of theGermanphysicistMax Planckand forms part of theMax Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft), an association of 84 institutes engaging in fundamental research in the arts and the sciences. The MPIM is the only Max Planck institute specializing inpure mathematics.
The Institute was founded byFriedrich Hirzebruch in 1980, having emerged from the collaborative research center "Theoretical Mathematics" (Sonderforschungsbereich "Theoretische Mathematik"). Hirzebruch shaped the institute as its director until his retirement in 1995. Currently, the institute is managed by a board of three directors consisting ofPeter Teichner (managing director),Peter Scholze andDennis Gaitsgory.Friedrich Hirzebruch andYuri Manin were, andGünter Harder,Werner Ballmann,Gerd Faltings andDon Zagier are, acting asemeriti.[1]
The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics offers mathematicians from around the world the opportunity to visit Bonn and engage insabbatical work lasting from weeks to several months. This guest program distinguishes the MPIM from other Max Planck institutes, and results in only a limit number of permanent positions[1] and the absence of separate departments within the institute.
The research of the members and guests of the institute can be classified into the following areas:[2]
