Education and career

He received from ETH Zurich in 1977 his diploma in mathematics [2] and in 1983 his doctorate in mathematics. [1] For the academic year 1983–1984 Straube was a visiting research scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was a visiting assistant professor from 1984 to 1986 at Indiana University Bloomington and from 1986 to 1987 at the University of Pittsburgh. From 1996 to the present, he is a full professor at Texas A&M University, where he was an assistant professor from 1987 to 1991 and an associate professor from 1991 to 1996; from 2011 to the present, he is the head of the mathematics department there. He has held visiting research positions in Switzerland, Germany, the US, and Austria. [2]

In 1995 he was a co-winner, with Harold P. Boas, of the Stefan Bergman Prize of the American Mathematical Society. [3] In 2006 Straube was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid. [4] In 2012 he was elected a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [5]

In mathematics, a CR manifold, or Cauchy–Riemann manifold, is a differentiable manifold together with a geometric structure modeled on that of a real hypersurface in a complex vector space, or more generally modeled on an edge of a wedge.

In mathematics, more precisely in the theory of functions of several complex variables, a pseudoconvex set is a special type of open set in the n-dimensional complex space Cn. Pseudoconvex sets are important, as they allow for classification of domains of holomorphy.

Stefan Bergman was a Congress Poland-born American mathematician whose primary work was in complex analysis. His name is also written Bergmann; he dropped the second "n" when he came to the U. S. He is best known for the kernel function he discovered while at University of Berlin in 1922. This function is known today as the Bergman kernel. Bergman taught for many years at Stanford University, and served as an advisor to several students.

In mathematics, Oka's lemma, proved by Kiyoshi Oka, states that in a domain of holomorphy in , the function is plurisubharmonic, where is the distance to the boundary. This property shows that the domain is pseudoconvex. Historically, this lemma was first shown in the Hartogs domain in the case of two variables, also Oka's lemma is the inverse of Levi's problem. Therefore, Oka himself calls Levi's problem "problème inverse de Hartogs", and Levi's problem is occasionally called Hartogs' Inverse Problem.
