Kay Wingberg
Kay Wingberg (born December 25, 1949 in Kiel ) is a German mathematician who deals with algebraic number theory and arithmetic algebraic geometry.
Live and act
Wingberg received his doctorate in 1978 from the University of Hamburg under Helmut Brückner (p-potencies and commutators in branching groups of p-adic number fields). He was an adjunct professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and has been a professor at the University of Heidelberg since 1989 .
Wingberg deals with Iwasawa theory , Galois theory of algebraic number fields, embedding problem in algebraic number theory, profinite groups (topological groups that occur in particular as absolute Galois groups of a number field), arithmetic of elliptic curves and Abelian varieties . With Uwe Jannsen , he completely described the absolute Galois group of p-adic number fields in the early 1980s, i.e. in the local case.
Together with Jürgen Neukirch and his doctoral student Alexander Schmidt, he is the author of a standard work on the use of the methods of Galois cohomology in algebraic number theory.
Alexander Schmidt and Otmar Venjakob are among his doctoral students .
