David Bleecker
David Dudley Bleecker (* 1948 - † 2016 ) was an American mathematician who studied differential geometry .
Bleecker received his doctorate in 1973 from SS Chern at the University of California, Berkeley ( Contributions to the theory of surfaces ). Then he was a professor at the University of Hawaii in Manoa. He retired in 2010 after being charged in 2009 with setting fire to his university office.
In 1981 he published a monograph on Yang Mills theories and related differential geometry and topology (fiber bundles).
In 1999 he received the George Pólya Award from the Mathematical Association of America .
