Peter Müller

Prof. Dr. Peter Müller is a Professor at the Mathematical Institute of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), where he also serves as Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics. His research group focuses on Analysis, Mathematical Physics, and Numerics. Office: Room 439, Block B, Theresienstr. 39, 80333 Munich.

Education:

• Habilitation in Mathematics, University of Göttingen (2006)
• Habilitation in Physics, University of Göttingen (2002)
• Ph.D. in Physics, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (1996)
• Diploma in Physics, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (1991)

Research Interests: Müller's work spans mathematical physics, analysis, and probability theory, with emphasis on:

• Random Schrödinger operators and spectral theory
• Delocalization phenomena in disordered systems
• Quasiperiodic structures and ergodic properties
• Entanglement entropy in quantum systems

His research bridges rigorous mathematical analysis with applications in quantum mechanics and statistical physics.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2013–2025) predominantly explore spectral theory in disordered quantum systems. Key themes include localization/delocalization transitions, asymptotic analysis of entanglement entropy, and spectral properties of random operators. Methodologically, his work combines functional analysis, stochastic processes, and operator theory to address fundamental questions in mathematical physics.

Student Advising: Extensive mentorship of graduate students:

• 8 PhD students (e.g., Jakob Stern, Ruth Schulte)
• 17 Master's students (e.g., Leonard Wetzel, Julian Widl)

Research Team: Leads the working group "Analysis, Mathematical Physics and Numerical Analysis" with postdoctoral researchers (e.g., Constanza Rojas-Molina) and PhD candidates. Regularly organizes international conferences on mathematical physics and disordered systems.
