Bayer was born in Barcelona on February 13, 1946. Before becoming a mathematician, she was certified as a piano teacher by the Municipal Conservatory of Barcelona in 1967. [2]
She graduated from the University of Barcelona in 1968, [2] and completed her Ph.D. there in 1975. Her dissertation, Extensiones maximales de un cuerpo global en las que un divisor primo descompone completamente, was jointly supervised by Rafael Mallol Balmaña and Jürgen Neukirch. [3] She was one of the first two women to earn a Ph.D. from the university; the other was her high school teacher. [2]
She was an assistant at Universität Regensburg from 1977 to 1980. After briefly working for the University of Santander and Autonomous University of Barcelona, she joined the faculty at the University of Barcelona in 1982. She retired in 2016. [4]
With Montserrat Alsina, Bayer is the author of the book Quaternion Orders, Quadratic Forms, and Shimura Curves (American Mathematical Society, 2004). [5] As well as quaternion algebras, Eichler orders, quadratic forms, and Shimura curves (the subject of the book), other topics in her research include automorphic forms, diophantine equations, elliptic curves, modular curves, and zeta functions. [1]
Beyond number theory, with Jordi Guàrdia and Artur Travesa she is the author of Arrels germàniques de la matemàtica contemporània: amb una antologia de textos matemàtics de 1850 a 1950 (Institut d'Estudis Catalans, 2012), on the history of mathematics in Germany from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. [6] In total she is an author or editor of 19 books. [4]
Bayer won the Narcís Monturiol Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya in 1998. [1] Her book Arrels germàniques de la matemàtica contemporània: amb una antologia de textos matemàtics de 1850 a 1950 won the Serra d'Or Critic's Prize in 2013. [6]
She was Emmy Noether Visiting Professor at the University of Göttingen in 2004. [7] She is an academician of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences, the Royal European Academy of Doctors , the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona, and the Institute for Catalan Studies. [1]
In honor of her 70th birthday, the University of Barcelona published a two-volume edition of her selected works in 2016. [8]
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.
In mathematics, the Brauer group of a field K is an abelian group whose elements are Morita equivalence classes of central simple algebras over K, with addition given by the tensor product of algebras. It was defined by the algebraist Richard Brauer.
Ernst Witt was a German mathematician, one of the leading algebraists of his time.
In number theory, a Shimura variety is a higher-dimensional analogue of a modular curve that arises as a quotient variety of a Hermitian symmetric space by a congruence subgroup of a reductive algebraic group defined over Q. Shimura varieties are not algebraic varieties but are families of algebraic varieties. Shimura curves are the one-dimensional Shimura varieties. Hilbert modular surfaces and Siegel modular varieties are among the best known classes of Shimura varieties.
In mathematics, more specifically algebra, abstract algebra or modern algebra is the study of algebraic structures, which are sets with specific operations acting on their elements. Algebraic structures include groups, rings, fields, modules, vector spaces, lattices, and algebras over a field. The term abstract algebra was coined in the early 20th century to distinguish it from older parts of algebra, and more specifically from elementary algebra, the use of variables to represent numbers in computation and reasoning. The abstract perspective on algebra has become so fundamental to advanced mathematics that it is simply called "algebra", while the term "abstract algebra" is seldom used except in pedagogy.
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.
Marie-France Vignéras is a French mathematician. She is a Professor Emeritus of the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu in Paris. She is known for her proof published in 1980 of the existence of isospectral non-isometric Riemann surfaces. Such surfaces show that one cannot hear the shape of a hyperbolic drum. Another highlight of her work is the establishment of the mod-l local Langlands correspondence for GL(n) in 2000. Her current work concerns the p-adic Langlands program.
In mathematics, an Eichler order, named after Martin Eichler, is an order of a quaternion algebra that is the intersection of two maximal orders.
Josep Montserrat i Torrents , better known as José Montserrat Torrents in the Spanish-speaking world, is a Spanish writer, philosopher, historian and Coptic scholar.
Montserrat Teixidor i Bigas is a Spanish-American academic who is a professor of mathematics at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. She specializes in algebraic geometry, especially Moduli of Vector Bundles on curves.
Laura Grace DeMarco is a professor of mathematics at Harvard University, whose research concerns dynamical systems and complex analysis.
Ana Caraiani is a Romanian-American mathematician, who is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Hausdorff Chair at the University of Bonn. Her research interests include algebraic number theory and the Langlands program.
The Operation Anubis was a police operation in Catalonia, Spain, initiated on 20 September 2017 by the Civil Guard following orders of the trial court number 13 of Barcelona, directed by judge Juan Antonio Ramírez Sunyer. Its aim was to dismantle the framework of the Catalan independence referendum of 1 October 2017, that was suspended on 6 September 2017 by the Constitutional Court of Spain as breaching the 1978 Constitution. Different headquarters of the Generalitat de Catalunya were searched and 14 people were arrested, including high ranking administrative staff, and company CEO's involved in the preparation of the referendum. Simultaneously, several printing and media companies were searched looking for ballot papers and boxes. More than 140 websites were shut down by the Spanish justice and police.
Elisenda Paluzie i Hernández is a Catalan economist, politician, and professor from Spain. Since 24 March 2018 she is president of the Assemblea Nacional Catalana, a Catalan independence organization. She has served as Professor of Economics at the University of Barcelona since 2001, is the director of the Centro de Análisis Económico y de las Políticas Sociales there, which is integrated into the Research Institute of the Barcelona Economic Analysis Team.
Maria Antònia Canals was a Spanish mathematician. Her work in recreational mathematics served as the basis for the eponymous Canals Project. Among other honors, she has been awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi and the Medal of Honor of Barcelona.
Pilar Ribeiro was a mathematician who was a founder of the Portuguese Mathematical Society (SPM) and also of the Gazeta de Matemática.
Pilar Cabot i Vila was a Catalan writer of poetry, children's and adult's books, short stories and prose. She operated her own bookstore CLAM selling Catalan literature in her hometown of Vic from 1965 to 1985. Cabot authored approximately twenty works of poetry and she was actively involved as an honorary member of the Catalan Language Writers Association. She won awards for her works and established the Tertúlies amb poetes event happeneing every second Saturday of each month during an afternoon in 1997.
Jan Nekovář was a Czech academic and mathematician who specialized in number theory.
Marta Pessarrodona y Artigues is a Catalan poet, storyteller and literary critic. She has also written essays and biographies. She is the author of books such as Primers dies de 1968 (1968), Setembre 30 (1969), Vida privada (1972), Memòria (1979), A favor meu, nostre (1981), Tria de poemes (1994), and L'amor a Barcelona (1998). In 1997, she received the Creu de Sant Jordi.
