Aldridge Bousfield

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aldridge Knight Bousfield , called Peter, (born April 5, 1941 in Boston ) is an American mathematician who studies algebraic topology .

Bousfield studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1963 and a doctorate with Daniel Marinus Kan in 1966 ( Higher Order Suspension Maps for Non-Additive Functors ). He was then a lecturer at Brandeis University , where he became an assistant professor in 1967. In 1972 he became Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and in 1976 Professor. In 2000 he was retired. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .

He deals with homotopy theory and in particular with the localization and completion of topological spaces and spectra . A spectral sequence is named after him and Daniel Marinus Kan and, among other things, the Bousfield localization of spectra and model categories is named after him.

His wife Marie V. Bousfield was a Belgian mathematician (born Vastersavendts, married in 1968, born in 1938 or 1939 in Asse, doctorate at the Free University of Brussels, died in 2016). She worked as a population statistician for the city of Chicago.
