Christine Bessenrodt (March 18, 1958 in Ahlten – January 24, 2022 ) was a German mathematician specializing in algebra , combinatorics and number theory .

career

From 1975, Bessenrodt studied mathematics and physics at the University of Düsseldorf and the University of Essen on a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation , where she graduated in 1979. She received her doctorate in 1980 in Essen with Gerhard O. Michler with the work Indecomposable lattices in blocks with cyclic defect groups . She received a prize from the University of Essen for her dissertation . From 1981 she was an assistant in Duisburg and 1982/83 as a post-doctoral student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign . In 1988 she habilitated in Duisburg (Behavior of some representation theoretical invariants under change of the group basis of a modular group algebra) . From 1990 to 1993 she was a Heisenberg fellow of the German Research Foundation. In 1993 she became a professor at the University of Magdeburg , and from 2002 she was a professor of algebra and number theory at the Leibniz University in Hanover . From 2005 to 2010 and from 2012 she was director of the Institute for Algebra, Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics .

She dealt, among other things, with representation theory of finite groups and algebras, enumerative and algebraic combinatorics and additive number theory.

The regular Emmy Noether lectures at the DMV annual meetings go back to Bessenrodt's initiative.

Bessenrodt had been married since 1983.
