Sander Zwegers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sander Pieter Zwegers (born April 16, 1975 in Oosterhout ) is a Dutch mathematician who deals with modular forms .

Zwegers grew up in s´Gravenmoer and studied at the University of Utrecht , where he was an assistant after graduating from JAC Kolk in 1998 ( Theta functions, certain modular forms arising from them and Rogers-Ramanujan type identities ). In 2002 he received his PhD under Don Zagier (and Roelof W. Bruggeman) at the University of Utrecht ( Mock Theta Functions ). He then worked at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and at University College Dublin. He is a professor at the University of Cologne .

In his dissertation, Zwegers established a connection between the long puzzling mock theta functions of S. Ramanujan and Maaß waveforms . The theory was expanded by Ken Ono and Kathrin Bringmann .

In his spare time he is a snowboarder.
