Paul Julius Oswald Teichmüller was a German mathematician who made contributions to complex analysis. He introduced quasiconformal mappings and differential geometric methods into the study of Riemann surfaces. Teichmüller spaces are named after him.
Amalie Emmy Noether was a German mathematician who made many important contributions to abstract algebra. She proved Noether's first and second theorems, which are fundamental in mathematical physics. She was described by Pavel Alexandrov, Albert Einstein, Jean Dieudonné, Hermann Weyl and Norbert Wiener as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. As one of the leading mathematicians of her time, she developed theories of rings, fields, and algebras. In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between symmetry and conservation laws.
John Torrence Tate Jr. was an American mathematician distinguished for many fundamental contributions in algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and related areas in algebraic geometry. He was awarded the Abel Prize in 2010.
John Griggs Thompson is an American mathematician at the University of Florida noted for his work in the field of finite groups. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1970, the Wolf Prize in 1992, and the Abel Prize in 2008.
Hilbert's seventeenth problem is one of the 23 Hilbert problems set out in a celebrated list compiled in 1900 by David Hilbert. It concerns the expression of positive definite rational functions as sums of quotients of squares. The original question may be reformulated as:
Ernst Witt was a German mathematician, one of the leading algebraists of his time.
Yuval Zvi Flicker is an American mathematician. His primary research interests include automorphic representations.
In mathematics, a Pfister form is a particular kind of quadratic form, introduced by Albrecht Pfister in 1965. In what follows, quadratic forms are considered over a field F of characteristic not 2. For a natural number n, an n-fold Pfister form over F is a quadratic form of dimension 2n that can be written as a tensor product of quadratic forms
Dorian Morris Goldfeld is an American mathematician working in analytic number theory and automorphic forms at Columbia University.
Ludwig Stickelberger was a Swiss mathematician who made important contributions to linear algebra and algebraic number theory.
Nikolaus Hofreiter was an Austrian mathematician who worked mainly in number theory.
Friedrich Karl Schmidt was a German mathematician, who made notable contributions to algebra and number theory.
Yasutaka Ihara is a Japanese mathematician and professor emeritus at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences. His work in number theory includes Ihara's lemma and the Ihara zeta function.
Tsit Yuen Lam is a Hong Kong-American mathematician specializing in algebra, especially ring theory and quadratic forms.
Ricardo Baeza Rodríguez is a Chilean mathematician who works as a professor at the University of Talca. He earned his Ph.D. in 1970 from Saarland University, under the joint supervision of Robert W. Berger and Manfred Knebusch. His research interest is in number theory.
Günter Harder is a German mathematician, specializing in arithmetic geometry and number theory.
Joachim Schwermer is a German mathematician, specializing in number theory.
Jeffrey Ezra Hoffstein is an American mathematician, specializing in number theory, automorphic forms, and cryptography.
Winfried Scharlau was a German mathematician.
David W. Lewis was a Manx mathematician known for his contributions to quadratic forms theory. He spent his entire career at University College Dublin (UCD), where he was head of the Department of Mathematics from 1999 until 2002. After his retirement in 2009 he remained research active for many years.
