Bruno Schoeneberg (born December 8, 1906 in Altona ; † June 25, 1995 in Hamburg ) was a German mathematician who dealt with modular functions and number theory.

Life

Bruno Schoeneberg graduated from the Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Hamburg at Easter 1925 . From 1925 he studied mathematics, astronomy and physics, first at the University of Hamburg and then at the University of Göttingen . After the state examination for teachers in 1930, he received his doctorate in 1932 under Erich Hecke in Hamburg ( calculation of irreducible representations of finite groups , Abh. Math. Seminar Univ. Hamburg 1933). After that he was a high school teacher. In 1936/37 and during World War II he did his military service in the Navy. Then he was a high school teacher until 1966 at the Kaiser-Friedrich-Ufer high school in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel , where Jürgen Ehlers was his student. After completing his habilitation in Hamburg in 1960 (contributions to the theory of elliptical module functions), he was a part-time private lecturer at the mathematical seminar and in 1957 an adjunct professor. In 1966 he became associate professor and scientific councilor and in 1970 full professor. In 1975 he retired. In 1969/70 he was visiting professor at the University of Karlsruhe and in 1971 in Taipei .

He wrote a standard work on module functions.

He had been a member of the Mathematical Society Hamburg since 1949 and its year administrator in the 1960s. In 1973 he became an honorary member. In 1970 he became a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen . In 1962 he gave a lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Stockholm ( Eisenstein series of prime numbers ).

He had been married to Gertrud Moldt (she had also studied mathematics) since 1937 and had two children.

He was editor of the collected works of Erich Hecke.
