Moss Sweedler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moss Eisenberg Sweedler (born April 29, 1942 in Brooklyn ) is an American mathematician.

Sweedler in 1963 gained his bachelor's degree and in 1965 with Bertram Kostant at Massachusetts Institute of Technology doctorate (Cocommutative Hopf algebras with antipode) . He was a professor at Cornell University .

He wrote a standard work on Hopf algebras . He and H. Allen used Hopf algebras in 1969 to solve a 25-year-old conjecture by Nathan Jacobson about the form of generalized Witt algebras over algebraically closed fields of finite characteristics. Later he dealt with commutative algebra and computer algebra. The Sweedler notation in koalgebras is named after him.

In 1974 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Vancouver (Something like the Brauer group) . In 1980 he received a Guggenheim scholarship . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .

He wrote one of his essays under the pseudonym Boo Barkee (the name of his dog based on Bourbaki).
