Winfried Kohnen
Winfried Kohnen (* 1953 ) is a German mathematician.
Kohnen received his doctorate in 1980 at the University of Bonn under Don Zagier ( relationships between half-weight modular shapes and full-weight modular shapes ). He is a professor at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg .
He deals with modular shapes and their application in arithmetic geometry. A theorem named after him, Benedict Gross and Don Zagier describes Heegner points on modular elliptic curves using coefficients of the power series expansion of modular forms of half-integer weight.
The Kohnenraum of modular forms was named after him.
His doctoral students include Kathrin Bringmann and Jan Hendrik Bruinier (second referee).
