Life

Baum studied at the Humboldt University in Berlin from 1972 . In 1977 she passed her diploma and in 1980 she did her doctorate there under Rolf Sulanke and Thomas Friedrich ( spin structures and Dirac operators on pseudo-Riemann manifolds ). In 1989 she qualified as a professor ( PhD B , title: Complete, non-compact manifolds with killing spinors and spectral invariants of the Dirac operator as functions on the modulus space of gauge field theory ). In 1993 she became Professor of Global Analysis at the Humboldt University in Berlin, where she had been a research assistant since 1980. 1977/1978 she was a visiting scholar at the University of Rostov-on-Don and in 1982 at the University of Maryland .

Baum deals with differential geometric questions from the field of relativity theory (pseudo-Riemann or Lorentz manifolds), relativistic quantum field theory ( spinors and Dirac operators on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds and their spectrum, twistors ) and Yang-Mills theory .
