Manfred Trümper

Manfred Trümper (born July 5, 1934 in Wernigerode ) is a German theoretical physicist who specializes in general relativity theory (ART).

After graduating from high school in Bernburg, Trümper studied from 1952 at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Halle, among others with Ott-Heinrich Keller and Herbert Grötzsch, and at the University of Hamburg physics with a diploma in 1959 and a doctorate with Pascual Jordan in 1962 (contributions on the theory of curve congruences in Einstein's gravitational fields). As a post-doctoral student , he was at Syracuse University and Yeshiva University with Peter Bergmann . He was an associate professor at Texas A&M University , had professorships in Oran in Algeria and Bukavu / Kivu in Zaire , was visiting professor at the Enssat engineering school in Lannion and the University of Rennes and was in Jürgen Ehlers' group at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Munich. From 1992 until his retirement in 1999 he was the representative of TÜV Süd in China and Japan. Then he moved to Uzès .

Besides ART, he dealt with laser theory, geometry of classical mechanics and the Collatz problem .
