Tammo tom Dieck 1972

Tammo tom Dieck (born May 29, 1938 in São Paulo ) is a German mathematician who deals with algebraic topology and teaches at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen .

From 1957 on, Tammo tom Dieck studied mathematics at the Universities of Göttingen and Saarbrücken , where he received his doctorate in 1964 under Dieter Doll ( on theory and its cohomology operations ${\displaystyle K}$ ). In 1969 he completed his habilitation at the University of Heidelberg with Albrecht Dold . From 1970 he was a professor in Saarbrücken and from 1975 in Göttingen.

Tammo tom Dieck is one of the most prominent German representatives of algebraic topology with a number of popular textbooks. He was busy u. a. with transformation groups ( - manifolds ) and cobordism theory . In the 1990s and 2000s, he dealt with knot theory (and its algebras) and quantum groups . ${\displaystyle G}$

In 1986 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley ( Geometric representation theory of compact Lie groups ). Since 1984 he has been a full member of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen .

His doctoral students include Stefan Bauer, Wolfgang Lück and Roland Schwänzl .

Tammo tom Dieck is a grandson of Max tom Dieck and Walter Klingenberg , a brother of Heindirk tom Dieck and the father of Wiebke tom Dieck .
