Understanding social dilemmas through games - The development of moral norms encourages selfless behavior (30.09.2022)

Mohammad Salahshour has addressed the question of how individual strategic choices, social norms, and morality influence the decision-making process. His game-theory-based approach elucidates how the complexity of real-world strategic settings can lead to the evolution of moral norms, which help societies to better govern themselves by channeling individuals’ decision-making in the interest of groups.

Blurred lines – mathematical software unites theory and practice (08.01.2020)

Classically there is a clear distinction between theoretical and applied mathematics in the classification of different fields in the mathematical sciences. Bernd Sturmfels at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, along with Paul Breiding and Sascha Timme at the Technical University of Berlin present a novel approach that illustrates how this line can be blurred. They developed a custom software, which is not only able to compute numerical solutions for systems of polynomial equations, but can also be employed to answer classical questions of theoretical mathematics. Their results made the cover story of the January issue of the "Notices of the American Mathematical Society".

Not only arguments count (31.10.2018)

The phenomenon of opinion polarization has gained a lot of public attention in recent years, especially in the political context. Using tools from network science and game theory, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences were able to show that social interaction has a pronounced influence on opinion polarization. Their approach allows for a precise analysis of the entire opinion-forming process and could, among other things, contribute to a better understanding of opinion tendencies in social networks.

Sofja Kovalevskaja-Preisträger 2017 forscht am MPI (5.09.2017)

Der Sofja Kovalevskaja-Preisträger 2017 Dr. Matteo Smerlak forscht ab Dezember 2017 am Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik in den Naturwissenschaften zum Thema "Structure of Evolution".
Matteo Smerlak kommt aus der mathematischen, theoretischen Physik und hat zur Quantengravitation bereits viel beachtete Arbeiten vorgelegt. Zuletzt hat er sich verstärkt der interdisziplinären Forschung zugewandt: Smerlak arbeitet an der Grenze von Physik und Biologie und verknüpft dabei auf innovative Weise die statistische Physik mit der theoretischen Biologie. Konkret widmet er sich den komplexen Systemen, großen Netzwerken, die sich ohne zentrale Kontrolle in hohem Maße selbst organisieren und ein komplexes Kollektivverhalten aufweisen. Solche Systeme finden sich im Bereich der Wirtschaft oder der Soziologie, insbesondere aber in der Biologie. Hier wendet Matteo Smerlak Verfahren der statistischen Physik auf die Evolutionsbiologie an, um universelle Gesetzmäßigkeiten und statistische Gesetze der Evolution herzuleiten. Als Sofja Kovalevskaja-Preisträger will er damit grundlegende Fragen aufgreifen, wie etwa die nach der Vorhersagbarkeit von evolutionären Entwicklungen.
Dr. Matteo Smerlak wurde 1984 in Frankreich geboren und machte 2007 seinen Master in Theoretischer Physik an der École normale supérieure in Paris. Für seine Promotion, die er 2011 abschloss, wechselte er an die Aix-Marseille Université. Anschließend forschte er zwei Jahre als Junior Scientist am Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut) in Potsdam. Seit 2013 ist Matteo Smerlak als Postdoctoral Researcher am Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Kanada. Zwischendurch führten ihn immer wieder Lehrtätigkeiten an die African Institutes for Mathematical Sciences in Südafrika, Kamerun und Ghana.

Schimpansen belohnen Gefälligkeiten - sie teilen Futter nur mit dem, der ihnen zuvor geholfen hat (23.6.2017)

Für uns Menschen ist es eine Selbstverständlichkeit: Wir belohnen andere als Zeichen unserer Dankbarkeit. Wissenschaftler der Max-Planck-Institute für evolutionäre Anthropologie und für Mathematik in den Naturwissenschaften in Leipzig haben nun ähnliche soziale Verhaltensweisen auch bei Schimpansen nachgewiesen. In einem Verhaltensexperiment belohnt ein Tier ein anderes mit Futter, wenn dieses ihm zuvor geholfen hat. Offenbar hat nicht erst der Mensch aus diesem Grund kooperiert, schon der Vorfahr von Mensch und Schimpanse hat offenbar aus einer ähnlichen Motivation heraus untereinander geteilt. Die Studie zeigt, warum Schimpansen dies tun und bestätigt Ergebnisse aus der Spieltheorie.

Wörter sind kein Zufall (12.9.2016)

Die Lehrbücher der Sprachwissenschaft müssen offenbar umgeschrieben werden. Bislang gingen Linguisten davon aus, Laute seien in Wörtern größtenteils zufällig mit Bedeutungen verknüpft. Fälle wie etwa das M, das in vielen Sprachen im Wort für Mutter vorkommt, seien die seltene Ausnahme. Ein internationales Team, an dem Forscher der Max-Planck-Institute für Mathematik in den Naturwissenschaften und für Menschheitsgeschichte sowie der Universität Leipzig beteiligt waren, widerlegt diese Annahme nun mit einer umfassenden Analyse.
