Walter Borho (born 17 December 1945, in Hamburg) is a German mathematician, who works on algebra and number theory. He is a professor at the University of Wuppertal.
Borho received his PhD in 1973 from the University of Hamburg under the direction of Ernst Witt with a thesis titled Wesentliche ganze Erweiterungen kommutativer Ringe. [1]
Borho's research focuses on representation theory, Lie algebras, ring theory and also on number theory (amicable numbers) and tilings.
In 1986 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley (Nilpotent orbits, primitive ideals and characteristic classes – a survey).
In mathematics, hypercomplex number is a traditional term for an element of a finite-dimensional unital algebra over the field of real numbers. The study of hypercomplex numbers in the late 19th century forms the basis of modern group representation theory.
Christian Hugo Eduard Study was a German mathematician known for work on invariant theory of ternary forms (1889) and for the study of spherical trigonometry. He is also known for contributions to space geometry, hypercomplex numbers, and criticism of early physical chemistry.
Helmut Hasse was a German mathematician working in algebraic number theory, known for fundamental contributions to class field theory, the application of p-adic numbers to local class field theory and diophantine geometry, and to local zeta functions.
Leonard Eugene Dickson was an American mathematician. He was one of the first American researchers in abstract algebra, in particular the theory of finite fields and classical groups, and is also remembered for a three-volume history of number theory, History of the Theory of Numbers. The L. E. Dickson instructorships at the University of Chicago Department of Mathematics are named after him.
Lothar Collatz was a German mathematician, born in Arnsberg, Westphalia.
Bertram Kostant was an American mathematician who worked in representation theory, differential geometry, and mathematical physics.
Alexandre Aleksandrovich Kirilloff is a Soviet and Russian mathematician, known for his works in the fields of representation theory, topological groups and Lie groups. In particular he introduced the orbit method into representation theory. He is an emeritus professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Martin Maximilian Emil Eichler was a German number theorist.
In mathematics, the orbit method establishes a correspondence between irreducible unitary representations of a Lie group and its coadjoint orbits: orbits of the action of the group on the dual space of its Lie algebra. The theory was introduced by Kirillov for nilpotent groups and later extended by Bertram Kostant, Louis Auslander, Lajos Pukánszky and others to the case of solvable groups. Roger Howe found a version of the orbit method that applies to p-adic Lie groups. David Vogan proposed that the orbit method should serve as a unifying principle in the description of the unitary duals of real reductive Lie groups.
Max Deuring was a German mathematician. He is known for his work in arithmetic geometry, in particular on elliptic curves in characteristic p. He worked also in analytic number theory.
Olive Clio Hazlett was an American mathematician who spent most of her career working for the University of Illinois. She mainly researched algebra, and wrote seventeen research papers on subjects such as nilpotent algebras, division algebras, modular invariants, and the arithmetic of algebras.
Julius Wilhelm Richard Dedekind was a German mathematician who made important contributions to number theory, abstract algebra, and the axiomatic foundations of arithmetic. His best known contribution is the definition of real numbers through the notion of Dedekind cut. He is also considered a pioneer in the development of modern set theory and of the philosophy of mathematics known as logicism.
Andreas Speiser was a Swiss mathematician and philosopher of science.
Jens Carsten Jantzen is a German mathematician and professor emeritus at Aarhus University working on representation theory and algebraic groups. He introduced the Jantzen filtration and translation functors.
In mathematics, the Jacobson–Morozov theorem is the assertion that nilpotent elements in a semi-simple Lie algebra can be extended to sl2-triples. The theorem is named after Jacobson 1951, Morozov 1942.
Nolan Russell Wallach is a mathematician known for work in the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups. He is the author of the two-volume treatise Real Reductive Groups.
Kyōji Saitō is a Japanese mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry and complex analytic geometry.
Johann Jakob Burckhardt was a Swiss mathematician and crystallographer. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1936 in Oslo.
Wolfgang Soergel is a German mathematician, specializing in geometry and representation theory.
