Life

Schneider received his doctorate in 1980 at the University of Regensburg under Jürgen Neukirch on the Galoiscohomology -adic representations of number fields ${\ displaystyle p}$ . Later he was a professor at the University of Cologne ; today he teaches at the University of Münster .

Among other things, he deals with Iwasawa theory , special values of -functions and -adic representations (on the latter, in particular, he worked with Jeremy Teitelbaum ). ${\ displaystyle L}$ ${\ displaystyle p}$

In 1992 Schneider was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize together with Christopher Deninger , Michael Rapoport and Thomas Zink for their work in arithmetic-algebraic geometry for the solution of Diophantine equations . In 2006 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid ( Continuous representation theory of p-adic Lie groups ). In 2016 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina ( matriculation number 7679 ) and the Academia Europaea .
