It is named in honor of the [[Germany|German]] [[physicist]] [[Max Planck]] and forms part of the [[Max 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 in [[pure mathematics]]. The Institute was founded by [[Friedrich 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 of [[Peter Teichner]] (managing director), [[Peter Scholze]] and [[Dennis Gaitsgory]]. [[Friedrich Hirzebruch]] and [[Yuri Manin]] were, and [[Günter Harder]], [[Werner Ballmann]], [[Gerd Faltings]] and [[Don Zagier]] are, acting as [[emeriti]].<ref name="auto">{{cite web |url=http://www.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/node/91 |author=Max Planck Institute for Mathematics |access-date=February 15, 2024 |title=About the MPIM}}</ref> ==Research== The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics offers mathematicians from around the world the opportunity to visit Bonn and engage in [[sabbatical]] 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 <ref name="auto"/> 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:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/node/76 |author=Max Planck Institute for Mathematics |access-date=April 25, 2014 |title=Guest program}}</ref> * [[Algebraic geometry|Algebraic Geometry]] and [[Complex geometry|Complex Geometry]] * [[Algebraic group|Algebraic Groups]] * [[Algebraic Topology]] * [[Arithmetic Geometry]] * [[Differential Geometry]] and [[differential topology|Topology]] * [[Dynamical Systems]] * [[Global analysis|Global Analysis]] * [[Mathematical Physics]] * [[Noncommutative geometry|Noncommutative Geometry]] * [[Number Theory]] * [[Representation Theory]] ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *[http://www.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/ Homepage] *[http://www.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/de Homepage] {{in lang|de}} {{coord|50|44|4|N|7|5|54|E|type:landmark|display=title}} {{Max Planck Society}} {{University of Bonn}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:Research institutes established in 1980]] [[Category:Mathematical institutes]] [[Category:Max Planck Institutes|Mathematics]] [[Category:University of Bonn|Max-Planck-Institut fur Mathematik]] [[Category:Bonn|Max-Planck-Institut fur Mathematik]] [[Category:Mathematics in Germany]] {{NorthRhineWestphalia-struct-stub}} {{Math-org-stub}}
