Anton Rella
Anton "Tonio" Rella (born March 24, 1888 in Brno ; † March 8, 1945 in Vienna ) was an Austrian mathematician who mainly dealt with algebraic number theory .
Rella was the son of an engineer and from 1907 studied mathematics and physics at the University of Vienna , where he received his doctorate in 1913 under Franz Mertens (and Philipp Furtwängler ) (studies on relatively Abelian number fields). In the First World War he was last captain and commanded the measuring group of a bomber unit. After the war he became an assistant at the Mathematical Department of the University of Vienna in 1920 and became a private lecturer in 1921. In 1922 he became an associate professor and in 1924 a full professor at the University of Graz , where he was dean in 1930/31. From 1932 he was a full professor of mathematics at the Technical University of Vienna (Chair II).
He entered into letter contact with the discoverer of the p-adic numbers, Kurt Hensel , who also visited him in Küb. Some of the most famous Rella publications are in the field of p-adic numbers.
In 1936 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Oslo (About the absolute amount of matrices).
Egon Ullrich , Gottfried Köthe and Georg Kantz were among his doctoral students . Alexander Aigner was one of his students .
He was friends with Erwin Schrödinger as a pupil and also afterwards (who outdid him in mathematics at grammar school). Both often spent their summer holidays in the Rella family's rest home in Küb am Semmering .
Anton Rella was killed by stray shrapnel during the conquest of Vienna by Soviet troops in March 1945.
