The Borsuk problem in geometry, for historical reasons incorrectly called Borsuk's conjecture, is a question in discrete geometry. It is named after Karol Borsuk.
Tudor Ganea was a Romanian-American mathematician, known for his work in algebraic topology, especially homotopy theory. Ganea left Communist Romania to settle in the United States in the early 1960s. He taught at the University of Washington.
The Swiss Mathematical Society, founded in Basel on September 4, 1910, is the national mathematical society of Switzerland and a member society of the European Mathematical Society. It is notably running the scholarly journal Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici and Elemente der Mathematik, both currently published by the European Mathematical Society.
Michel André Kervaire was a French mathematician who made significant contributions to topology and algebra.
André Haefliger is a Swiss mathematician who works primarily on topology.
Wolfgang Lück is a German mathematician who is an internationally recognized expert in algebraic topology.
Paul Finsler was a German and Swiss mathematician.
Eva Bayer-Fluckiger is a Hungarian and Swiss mathematician. She is an Emmy Noether Professor Emeritus at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. She has worked on several topics in topology, algebra and number theory, e.g. on the theory of knots, on lattices, on quadratic forms and on Galois cohomology. Along with Raman Parimala, she proved Serre's conjecture II regarding the Galois cohomology of a simply-connected semisimple algebraic group when such a group is of classical type.
Matthias Kreck is a German mathematician who works in the areas of Algebraic Topology and Differential topology. From 1994 to 2002 he was director of the Oberwolfach Research Institute for Mathematics and from October 2006 to September 2011 he was the director of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics at the University of Bonn, where he is currently a professor.
Robert Wolfe Brooks was a mathematician known for his work in spectral geometry, Riemann surfaces, circle packings, and differential geometry.
In mathematics, more precisely, in the theory of simplicial sets, a simplicial group is a simplicial object in the category of groups. Similarly, a simplicial abelian group is a simplicial object in the category of abelian groups. A simplicial group is a Kan complex. The Dold–Kan correspondence says that a simplicial abelian group may be identified with a chain complex. In fact it can be shown that any simplicial abelian group is non-canonically homotopy equivalent to a product of Eilenberg–MacLane spaces,
Ruth Kellerhals is a Swiss mathematician at the University of Fribourg, whose field of study is hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory and polylogarithm identities.
Michael Struwe is a German mathematician who specializes in calculus of variations and nonlinear partial differential equations. He won the 2012 Cantor medal from the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung for "outstanding achievements in the field of geometric analysis, calculus of variations and nonlinear partial differential equations".
Karl Rudolf Fueter was a Swiss mathematician, known for his work on number theory.
Gustave Juvet was a Swiss mathematician.
Albert Pfluger was a Swiss mathematician, specializing in complex function theory.
Max Gut (1898–1988) was a Swiss mathematician, specializing in algebraic number theory and group theory.
Shmuel Friedland is an Israeli-American mathematician.
Guido Mislin is a Swiss mathematician, academic and researcher. He is a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at ETH Zurich. He is also associated with Ohio State University as a guest at Mathematics Department.
Dan Burghelea is a Romanian-American mathematician, academic, and researcher. He is an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Ohio State University.
