Werner Kirsch (mathematician)
Werner Matthias Kirsch (born February 1, 1956 in Heinsberg ) is a German mathematical physicist .
Kirsch is professor of mathematics at the Fern-Universität Hagen , where he represents the field of stochastics . Before that he was also a professor at the Ruhr University in Bochum .
In 1981 he received his doctorate with Sergio Albeverio at the Ruhr University Bochum ( on spectra of stochastic Schrödinger operators ). His main area of work is mathematical physics and functional analysis . In particular, he dealt with the Schrödinger equation with random potentials, stochastic analysis (such as spectra of random graphs) and random matrices .
Kirsch became known to a larger circle through an essay in the weekly newspaper Die Zeit , in which he mathematically analyzed the weighting of votes in the EU Council of Ministers and thus supported the view that the smaller member states, based on their population, are disadvantaged. At the same time he proposed the Penrose Square Root Law as a measure of the weighting of votes in bodies of this kind.
