Eckhard Meinrenken

Eckhard Meinrenken is a German - Canadian mathematician and mathematical physicist who deals with symplectic geometry, differential geometry, Lie theory and mathematical physics.

Meinrenken in 1994 at the Albert- Ludwigs- University of Freiburg in physics summa cum laude at Hartmann Romans doctorate ( multiplicity formulas for the quantization of phase spaces ). As a post - graduate student, he was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was from 1995 to 1997 Instructor. In 1998 he was Assistant Professor, Associate Professor in 2000 and 2004, a professor at the University of Toronto.

In 1998 he proved the conjecture of Guillemin and Sternberg ( quantization commutes with reduction) of 1982.

He he had with Anton Alekseev and Anton Malkin torque figures with values ​​in Lie groups in the symplectic geometry a.

In 2001 he received the Andre Aisenstadt price and the 2003 McLean Award from the University of Toronto. In 2007 he received the NSERC ( Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada ) EEA Steacie Memorial Fellowship. In 2002 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing ( Clifford Algebras and the Duflo isomorphism ). The lecture concerned joint work with Anton Alekseev ( University of Geneva) on a new proof of the Duflo isomorphism for quadratic Lie algebras. With Alekseev he proved a conjecture of Kashiwara - Vergne.

In 2008 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the editor of the Comptes rendus Mathématiques ( Mathematical Reports ) of the Royal Society of Canada and co-editor of Documenta Mathematica. In 2001 he was awarded the André Aisenstadt Prize.
