Maria Hoffmann-Ostenhof

Maria Hoffmann-Ostenhof (born January 12, 1947 in Vienna ) is an Austrian mathematician and professor at the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna .

After studying mathematics at the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Vienna and the University of Zurich , she did her doctorate in 1973 with Wilfried Nöbauer at the University of Vienna on the subject of congruence associations of universal algebras and binary systems . In 1991 she completed her habilitation on the subject of zeros and asymptotic behavior of solutions to Schrödinger equations ${\ displaystyle L ^ {2}}$ . She has been retired since 2010. For a long time she was the only university lecturer at the Institute of Mathematics who had qualified as a professor.

Among other things, she deals with the quantum mechanical theory of atoms and molecules , in particular the Schrödinger equation . Together with her husband Thomas Hoffmann-Ostenhof , she has proven important results on the behavior of the wave function of atoms.
