Analysis, alongside algebra, geometry, and probability, is a core area of mathematics, spanning a vast range of topics from pure to applied. It is essential for every mathematician and plays a critical role in describing various fields of science, both natural and social. It encompasses numerous subfields, including real, complex, functional, harmonic, and numerical analysis, as well as the study of dynamical systems and partial differential equations (PDEs).
NYUAD harbors a strong research team in the field, with a particular focus on the analysis of PDEs, fluid dynamics, and operator theory.

Research Institute Centers
Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental ScienceS
The Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences (ACCESS) is a leading research center focused on advancing observational and modeling capacity in the marine and atmospheric sectors of the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf region, integrating NYU's global expertise to address climate and environmental challenges, while collaborating with UAE government agencies and focusing on locally-driven research with global implications.
Center for Stability, Instability, and Turbulence
Instability of dynamics flows and their transition to turbulence are widespread phenomena in engineering, computer science, geophysics, biophysics, and the natural environment. The Center's interdisciplinary research will develop novel enabling technology to deal with this phenomena.
Water Research Center
The Water Research Center (NYUAD-WRC) aims to promote innovative research in water desalination, wastewater treatment, environmental policy, and social issues. The center serves as an interdisciplinary innovation hub for water research where scientific knowledge is transformed into practical solutions.

Geometry, Topology, and Algebra are key areas of mathematical research, offering powerful techniques and applications to other branches of mathematics, the natural and social sciences, and arts and design. Mathematicians at NYUAD explore a wide range of topics, from classifying symmetries through Lie algebras and superalgebras to arithmetic geometry and the classification of spaces and manifolds. A key focus is the application of these fields to physics, including quantum field theory, gauge theory, string theory, and M-theory.

Research at NYUAD focuses on key areas such as high dimensional probability, Euclidean and conformal field theory, percolation, phase transitions, scaling limits, random matrices and free probability, random graphs, and Markov chains. The group primarily studies large systems that cannot be analyzed deterministically, aiming to uncover the mathematical structures behind their universal behavior. Their work intersects with stochastic differential equations, quantum field theory, and has significant implications for biology, economics, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
