Annette Werner (born 1966) [1] is a German mathematician. Her research interests include diophantine geometry and the algebraic geometry of non-Archimedean ordered fields, including the study of buildings, Berkovich spaces, and tropical geometry. She is a professor of mathematics at Goethe University Frankfurt. [2]
Werner earned a diploma in mathematics from the University of Münster in 1991. [2] She earned her Ph.D. at the same university in 1995, jointly supervised by Christopher Deninger and Siegfried Bosch; her dissertation was Local Heights on Uniformized Abelian Varieties and on Mumford Curves. [2] [3] She also completed her habilitation at Münster in 2000. [2]
She worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn in 1997–1998, and as an assistant at Münster from 1998 to 2003. She became a professor at the University of Siegen in 2004, but in the same year moved to the University of Stuttgart. She has been at the University of Frankfurt since 2007. [2]
Werner is the author of a German-language book on elliptic curve cryptography, Elliptische Kurven in der Kryptographie (Springer, 2002).
Werner was Emmy Noether Lecturer of the German Mathematical Society in Munich in 2010. [2] [4]
Christian Felix Klein was a German mathematician and mathematics educator, known for his work with group theory, complex analysis, non-Euclidean geometry, and on the associations between geometry and group theory. His 1872 Erlangen program, classifying geometries by their basic symmetry groups, was an influential synthesis of much of the mathematics of the time.
Baroness Anna Elisabeth Franziska Adolphine Wilhelmine Louise Maria von Droste zu Hülshoff, known as Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, was a 19th-century German poet, novelist, and composer of Classical music. She was also the author of the novella Die Judenbuche.
Gerd Faltings is a German mathematician known for his work in arithmetic geometry.
Yuri Ivanovich Manin is a Russian mathematician, known for work in algebraic geometry and diophantine geometry, and many expository works ranging from mathematical logic to theoretical physics. Moreover, Manin was one of the first to propose the idea of a quantum computer in 1980 with his book Computable and Uncomputable.
Élisabeth Lutz was a French mathematician. The Nagell–Lutz theorem in Diophantine geometry describes the torsion points of elliptic curves; it is named after Lutz and Trygve Nagell, who both published it in the 1930s.
Annette Huber-Klawitter is a German mathematician at the University of Freiburg. Her research interests includes algebraic geometry, in particular the Bloch–Kato conjectures.
Erika Pannwitz was a German mathematician who worked in the area of geometric topology. During World War II, Pannwitz worked as a cryptanalyst in the Department of Signal Intelligence Agency of the German Foreign Office colloquially known as Pers Z S. After the war, she became editor-in-chief of Zentralblatt MATH.
Willi Ludwig August Rinow was a German mathematician who specialized in differential geometry and topology. Rinow was the son of a schoolteacher. In 1926, he attended the Humboldt University of Berlin, studying mathematics and physics under professors such as Max Planck, Ludwig Bieberbach, and Heinz Hopf. There, he received his doctorate in 1931. In 1933, he worked at the Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik in Berlin. In 1937, he joined the Nazi Party. During 1937—1940, he was an editor of the journal Deutsche Mathematik. In 1937, he became a professor in Berlin and lectured there until 1950. His lecturing was interrupted because of his work as a mathematician at the Oberspreewerk in Berlin from 1946 to 1949.
Katrin Wendland is a German mathematical physicist who works as a professor at the University of Freiburg.
Günter Harder is a German mathematician, specializing in arithmetic geometry and number theory.
Reinhardt Kiehl is a German mathematician.
Wolfgang Franz was a German mathematician who specialized in topology particularly in 3-manifolds, which he generalized to higher dimensions. He is known for the Reidemeister–Franz torsion. He also made important contributions to the theory of lens spaces.
Dörte Haftendorn is a German mathematician, mathematics educator, and textbook author who works as a professor at Leuphana University of Lüneburg.
Annette Imhausen is a German historian of mathematics known for her work on Ancient Egyptian mathematics. She is a professor in the Normative Orders Cluster of Excellence at Goethe University Frankfurt.
Friedrich Bachmann was a German mathematician who specialised in geometry and group theory.
Judita Cofman (1936–2001) was a Yugoslav-German mathematician, the first person to earn a doctorate in mathematics at the University of Novi Sad. She was known for her work in finite geometry and for her books aimed at young mathematicians.
Ina Kersten is a German mathematician and former president of the German Mathematical Society. Her research concerns abstract algebra including the theory of field extensions and algebraic groups. She is a professor emerita at the University of Göttingen.
Winfried Scharlau was a German mathematician.
Karen Melnick is a mathematician and associate professor at University of Maryland, College Park. She specializes in differential geometry and was most recently awarded the 2020-2021 Joan and Joseph Birman Fellowship for Women Scholars by the American Mathematical Society.
Ulrich Görtz (1973) is a German mathematician specialising in arithmetic geometry.
