Bert Schroer

Bert Schroer ( born November 10, 1933 in Gelsenkirchen ) is a German mathematical physicist who deals with algebraic quantum field theory.

Life and work

Schroer studied physics in 1953 at the University of Hamburg, where he was awarded a degree in 1958 and received his doctorate in 1963 under Harry Lehmann ( theory of Infrateilchen, published in 1963 in progress of physics. Band 11). 1959-1961 he was a Research Associate at the University of Illinois and 1963/64, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. In 1964 he became associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh before 1970 he was a professor at the University of Berlin. In 1999, he retired there. He has been a visiting scientist at CERN (1976 /77 1985/86 as a visiting professor ) at the University of California, Berkeley ( 1992), São Paulo (1972 /73) and Rio de Janeiro, where 1979/80 he attended the Pontifical Catholic University ( PUC) and worked since 1999 Visiting Professor at the Brazilian center for physical research CBPF (Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas físicas ) is.

Schroer dealt with mathematical quantum field theory within the "Local Quantum Physics" access the Hague School on Operator Algebras. From the 1990s he applied it also for example, to connections to the holographic principle ( AdS - CFT correspondence, of which a version in 1999 by Karl -Henning Rehren was proved in algebraic quantum field theory ), an entropy - area formula analogous to the Bekenstein formula of the entropy of black holes and beat them candidates for dark matter, and constructed so that quantum field theories with particles that obey anyons statistics (corresponding representations of the braid group ) in four dimensions.

In Brazil, he worked with Jorge A. Swieca.
