Christian Pommerenke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Pommerenke (born December 17, 1933 in Copenhagen ) is a German mathematician who deals with function theory.

Pommerenke studied from 1954 at the University of Göttingen , where he took his diploma in 1957 and received his doctorate in 1959 ( on the uniform distribution of grid points on m-dimensional ellipsoids ). From 1958 he was an assistant and after his habilitation in 1963 private lecturer in Göttingen. 1961/62 he was an assistant professor at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor . In 1962/63 he taught at Harvard University and from 1965 to 1967 at Imperial College as a visiting professor. Since 1967 he was a professor at the TU Berlin , where he has now retired. Pommerenke dealt among other things with simple functions . Immediately after Louis de Branges published the proof of the Bieberbach conjecture in 1985 , he found simplifications.
