Klaus Floret

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klaus Floret (born September 22, 1941 in Mannheim ; † July 2, 2002 in Oldenburg ) was a German mathematician who dealt with functional analysis and topological vector spaces.

After graduating from high school in Mannheim and doing military service, Floret studied mathematics from 1962 at the University of Heidelberg , where he took part in Gottfried Köthe's seminar . He made his diploma in 1967 at Joseph Wloka , which he at the University of Kiel followed, where he at Wloka 1969 doctorate was (locally convex sequences with compact figures). He was assistant to Wloka and completed his habilitation in 1971. In 1976 he became an adjunct professor in Kiel. In 1981 he became a professor at the University of Oldenburg . From 1993 to 1995 he was Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and from 1995 to 1997 a member of the University's Senate. He died of a brain tumor.

He was a visiting scholar at the TU Berlin (1975/76), the State University of New York in Buffalo and in Liège (with Jean Schmets), Pretoria, Lecce, Seville, Valencia, Granada, Brazil (among others in Rio de Janeiro with Leopoldo Nachbin and unicamp in Campinas, Sao Paulo) and South Korea. He founded the Northwest German Colloquium for Functional Analysis and the Wangerooge Meeting for Functional Analysis. In 1987 he became a member of the Royal Society of Sciences in Liège and in 2000 he became a corresponding member of the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences.

He had been married to the Brazilian Andréa Neves since 1992 and had a daughter. Floret was a passionate sailor.
