Eva Bayer-Fluckiger
Eva Bayer-Fluckiger (born June 25, 1951 in Budapest ) is a Swiss mathematician who deals with algebra and number theory.
life and career
Bayer-Fluckiger studied at the University of Geneva , where she graduated in mathematics in 1974 and did her doctorate in 1978 with Michel Kervaire (Finitude du nombre des classes d'isomorphisme des structures isometriques entières de polynome minimale semi-simple, Comm. Math.Helveticae, vol. 54 (1979), p. 378). She then worked as an assistant (later senior assistant) at the University of Geneva until 1988. In 1983/84 she was at the Institute for Advanced Study , from 1984 to 1987 visiting professor at IHES and 1986/87 at MSRI . From 1988 to 2001 she was a researcher at the CNRS in Besançon (Université de Franche-Comté), most recently as director. Since 2001 she has been professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).
Among other things, she dealt with square shapes, algebraic groups, but also grids, including applications in computer science and knot theory. In 1995 she proved with Raman Parimala a conjecture by Serre (“Conjecture II”) from 1962 on the Galois cohomology of simply connected classical groups.
In 2003 she was an Emmy Noether visiting professor at the University of Göttingen .
In 1987 she was a founding member of the Committee on Women and Mathematics in France and on its board from 1988 to 1991. From 1990 to 1996 she was President of the Association for Women and Mathematics of the European Mathematical Society, on whose board she was from 1991 to 1996. From 1993 to 1995 she was on the Council of the French Mathematical Society.
Awards
- In 1983 she received the Prix Vacheron-Constantin in Geneva.
- In 2001 she received the Maria Sibylla Merian Prize.
