Valentin Blomer (born August 4, 1977 in Munich ) is a German mathematician who deals with analytical number theory.

Life

Blomer received the Golden M in 1993 in the competition of the mathematics journal Monoid and won the 1995 national mathematics competition as a pupil . He studied mathematics and computer science at the University of Mainz . In 2002 he did his doctorate in Stuttgart with Jörg Brüdern ( The arithmetic of squareful numbers ) and in 2005 he completed his habilitation in Göttingen. He was a post-doctoral student at the University of Toronto . From 2004 to 2005 he was junior professor at the University of Göttingen . He then moved to the University of Toronto , where he was an assistant professor and later received a full professorship. He has been a professor at the University of Göttingen since 2009, and at the University of Bonn since 2019.

Blomer refuted a conjecture by Paul Erdős , who assumed that the number of natural numbers smaller than that can be represented as the sum of two numbers whose prime factorization consists of prime squares or higher prime powers ( squareful numbers ) grows with it. Instead, as Blomer showed, they grow with you .

He received the Heinz Maier Leibnitz Prize in 2005 , the André Aisenstadt Prize in 2009 and the Ribenboim Prize in 2010 . In 2008 he was a Sloan Fellow . In 2010 he won an ERC starting grant. In 2019 Blomer was elected to the Academia Europaea .

Valentin Blomer is also a pianist , he studied piano at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts. In 2015 he won 1st prize among the amateurs at the 2nd Hans von Bülow International Piano Competition in Meiningen . Blomer is married and has three children.
