Academic Staff Of The University Of Freiburg
An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the accumulation, de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
University Of Hamburg Alumni
A university () is an educational institution, institution of higher education, higher (or Tertiary education, tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several Discipline (academia), academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate education, undergraduate and postgraduate education, postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation ...

21st-century German Mathematicians
The 1st century was the century spanning AD 1 ( I) through AD 100 ( C) according to the Julian calendar. It is often written as the or to distinguish it from the 1st century BC (or BCE) which preceded it. The 1st century is considered part of the Classical era, epoch, or historical period. The 1st century also saw the appearance of Christianity. During this period, Europe, North Africa and the Near East fell under increasing domination by the Roman Empire, which continued expanding, most notably conquering Britain under the emperor Claudius ( AD 43). The reforms introduced by Augustus during his long reign stabilized the empire after the turmoil of the previous century's civil wars. Later in the century the Julio-Claudian dynasty, which had been founded by Augustus, came to an end with the suicide of Nero in AD 68. There followed the famous Year of Four Emperors, a brief period of civil war and instability, which was finally brought to an end by Vespasian, ninth Roman em ...

Victor Ginzburg
Victor Ginzburg (born 1957) is a Russian American mathematician who works in representation theory and in noncommutative geometry. He is known for his contributions to geometric representation theory, especially, for his works on representations of quantum groups and Hecke algebras, and on the geometric Langlands program (Satake equivalence of categories). He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Chicago. Career Ginzburg received his Ph.D. at Moscow State University in 1985, under the direction of Alexandre Kirillov and Israel Gelfand. Ginzburg wrote a textbook ''Representation theory and complex geometry'' with Neil Chriss on geometric representation theory. A paper by Alexander Beilinson, Ginzburg, and Wolfgang Soergel introduced the concept of Koszul duality (cf. Koszul algebra) and the technique of "mixed categories" to representation theory. Furthermore, Ginzburg and Mikhail Kapranov developed Koszul duality theory for operads. In noncommutative g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alexander Beilinson
Alexander A. Beilinson (born 1957) is the David and Mary Winton Green University professor at the University of Chicago and works on mathematics. His research has spanned representation theory, algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. In 1999 Beilinson was awarded the Ostrowski Prize with Helmut Hofer. In 2017 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Work In 1978, Beilinson published a paper on coherent sheaves and several problems in linear algebra. His two-page note in the journal ''Functional Analysis and Its Applications'' was one of the papers on the study of derived categories of coherent sheaf (mathematics), sheaves. In 1981 Beilinson announced a proof of the Kazhdan–Lusztig conjectures and Jantzen conjectures with Joseph Bernstein. Independent of Beilinson and Bernstein, Jean-Luc Brylinski, Brylinski and Masaki Kashiwara, Kashiwara obtained a proof of the Kazhdan–Lusztig conjectures. However, the proof of Beilinson–Bernstein introduced a method ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Klaus Wilhelm Roggenkamp
Klaus Wilhelm Roggenkamp (24 December 1940 – 23 July 2021) was a German mathematician, specializing in algebra. Education and career As an undergraduate, Roggenkamp studied mathematics from 1960 to 1964 at the University of Giessen. There in 1967 he received his PhD. His thesis ''Darstellungen endlicher Gruppen in Polynombereichen'' (Representations of finite groups in polynomial integral domains) was written under the supervision of Hermann Boerner. As a postdoc Roggenkamp was at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he studied under Irving Reiner, and at the University of Montreal. After four years as a professor at Bielefeld University, he was appointed to the chair of algebra at the University of Stuttgart. Roggenkamp and Leonard Lewy Scott collaborated on a long series of papers on the groups of units of integral group rings, dealing with problems connected with the "integral isomorphism problem", which was proposed by Graham Higman in his 1940 doctoral ...
