Bo Berndtsson

Bo Berndtsson (born December 24, 1950 ) is a Swedish mathematician who deals with the theory of several complex variables and complex geometry. He is a professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg .

Live and act

Berndtsson studied mathematics at the University of Gothenburg with a candidate degree in 1971 and a doctorate under Tord Ganelius in 1977 (Zeros of analytic functions of several variables and related questions). He then worked there as a research assistant and, from 1985, a lecturer. From 1989 to 1995 he was at a special research center of the National Science Council (NFR). In 1996 he became a professor at Chalmers Technical University.

He was visiting professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of Paris-South, the University of Toulouse (Paul Sabatier), the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City.

He dealt in particular with solutions to the equation, the higher-dimensional analog of the Cauchy-Riemann differential equation, building on the theory of the estimates of this equation by Lars Hörmander . In addition, he dealt with the geometry of complex manifolds and proved positivity results for the curvature of holomorphic vector bundles in the 2000s and applied this to the geometry of Kähler manifolds (such as the geodesics in the space of Kähler metrics) and in algebraic geometry. ${\ displaystyle {\ overline {\ partial}}}$ ${\ displaystyle L ^ {2}}$

He received the Edlund Prize of the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1987 and the Göran Gustafsson Prize in 1995. In 2003 he became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. For 2017 he was awarded the Stefan Bergman Prize .

He was editor of Arkiv för Matematik and is co-editor of the Journal of Geometric Analysis and the Journal of the Mathematical Society of Japan.

He was a singer in a rock group (Love Explosion).
