Kostake Teleman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kostake Teleman , formerly Costache or Costake Teleman, (born May 19, 1933 in Bucharest ; † December 24, 2007 ) was a Romanian mathematician who dealt with differential geometry , topology and theoretical physics.

Life

He prefers the first name Kostake, which, according to his own words, he was not allowed to use in Romania earlier (but published under Costache / Costake), as this was considered decadent.

Teleman attended grammar school in Bucharest and graduated there in 1955. Even as a student he was an employee of the Gazeta Matematica si Fizica (where he published in 1949). Even as a student he published scientific papers (first in 1953). He became an assistant at the chair for geometry and topology of Gheorghe Vrânceanu at the University of Bucharest , where he received his doctorate in 1964 ( Les groupes maximums de movement des espaces de Riemann ). From 1967 he was a professor at the University of Bucharest. He taught several generations of geometers in Romania and was also known for his textbooks.

Teleman dealt with Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous spaces, partly with applications in elementary particle physics. For example, he classified Lagrangian poems that are invariant under the conforming Lorentz group . His interest in elementary particle physics began in 1971 when his wife Mihaila Teleman did her doctorate in this field under Horia Hulubei in Paris. At that time, he and his wife published a classification of elementary particles based on the unitary group U (6).

His brothers Nicolae and Silviu Teleman are also mathematicians, as are his son Andrei Teleman and daughter Ana-Maria Teleman. His wife Mihaela Teleman is a theoretical physicist. He has also published with all of them, for example with his daughter about Bäcklund transformations and with his son about Casson -Henkel.

He should not be confused with the Berkeley math professor Constantin Teleman , also quoted as C. Teleman.
