Horst Knörrer
Horst Knörrer (born July 31, 1953 in Bayreuth ) is a German mathematician who deals with algebraic geometry and mathematical physics.
Knörrer studied from 1971 in Regensburg and Erlangen and received his doctorate in 1978 at the University of Bonn under Egbert Brieskorn ( isolated singularities of the intersections of two quadrics ). Then he was a research assistant in Bonn until 1985, interrupted from 1980 to 1982 at the University of Leiden . In 1985 he completed his habilitation in Bonn and was then a Heisenberg fellow for two years . 1986/87 he was a deputy professor at the University of Düsseldorf . From 1987 to 2018 he was full professor of mathematics at the ETH Zurich .
Knörrer deals with algebraic geometry and its connection to mathematical physics, for example in integrable systems, as well as with mathematical theory of many-body systems in statistical mechanics and solid-state physics ( Fermi fluids ). With Brieskorn he wrote an extensive, richly illustrated textbook on algebraic curves, which was also translated into English.
