Live and act

Werner Müller studied mathematics at the Humboldt University of Berlin , where he received his doctorate in 1977 under Herbert Kurke with the thesis Analytical Torsion of Riemannian Manifolds . In this work, at the same time as Jeff Cheeger , but independently, he proved a conjecture by DB Ray and Singer ( Cheeger and Müller's Theorem ) of the equivalence of analytic (Ray-Singer) torsion and Reidemeister torsion for compact Riemannian manifolds . He then moved to the Karl Weierstrasse Institute for Mathematics at the Academy of Sciences in the GDR . After reunification, he first went to the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. Since 1994 he has been a professor with a chair for global analysis at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn and is thus the successor of Friedrich Hirzebruch .

In 1991 Müller received the Max Planck Research Award together with Jeff Cheeger . In 2003 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina . In 2015 he was elected to the Academia Europaea .

Werner Müller is a full member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences . In 1992 he gave a plenary lecture at the first European Congress of Mathematicians in Paris ( Geometry and spectral theory ). In 1983 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw ( Spectral geometry and non-compact Riemannian manifolds ).
