Herbert Kurke
Herbert Kurke (born August 16, 1939 in Döllnitz ) is a German mathematician who deals with algebraic geometry and commutative algebra.
Live and act
Kurke studied physics at the TU Dresden from 1959 to 1960 and then from 1960 to 1964 mathematics at the Humboldt University Berlin , where he graduated in 1964 and obtained his doctorate in 1967 under Heinrich Grell on topological methods in the theory of commutative rings . In 1969 he completed his habilitation on Hensel's rings. From 1964 to 1972 he was a research assistant at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin. He had been a professor at Humboldt University since 1972 and held the chair for algebraic geometry from 1992. Herbert Kurke has now retired. He was on research stays a. a. at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn (1988), in Mexico (1969), at the ETH Zurich (1974), at the Steklov Institute in Moscow and in Montreal ( McGill University ). He dealt u. a. with the geometry of the module spaces of vector bundles on algebraic surfaces and curves.
Kurke has been a corresponding member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences since 1983 and is considered one of the most important algebraic geometers of the former GDR . His PhD students include Gerhard Pfister , Werner Müller and Daniel Huybrechts .
