Ludwig Maurer (mathematician)
Ludwig Maurer (born December 11, 1859 in Munich ; † January 10, 1927 there ) was a German mathematician and university professor .
Life
Maurer was the eldest son of the legal historian and philologist Konrad Maurer . He studied at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and became a member of the Corps Suevia Munich in 1879 . He received his doctorate from the Kaiser Wilhelms University of Strasbourg in 1886. He completed his habilitation in the three emperor's year . In 1896 he became a non-regular associate professor in Strasbourg, in 1897 a regular associate professor and in 1909 a full professor at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen . There he retired in 1926 .
He dealt with Lie groups and wrote the article Continuous Transformation Groups in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences with Heinrich Burkhardt . The Maurer-Cartan forms in the theory of Lie groups are named after him and Élie Cartan .
Maurer remained unmarried and childless throughout his life. He spent the last years of his life in Munich and is buried in the Altes Südfriedhof in Munich . However, the bust above his name does not represent him, but his grandfather Georg Ludwig von Maurer .
