Bertram Huppert

Bertram Huppert ( born October 22, 1927 in Worms ) is a German mathematician. His main area of ​​work is the group theory, especially the representation theory.

Life

Bertram Huppert went from 1934 to 1945 in Bonn to school. In 1950 he received at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz Diploma in Mathematics with a thesis on "Non- resumable power series ", which he had made under the direction of Helmut Wielandt.

As Wielandt in April 1951 moved to the University of Tübingen followed him Huppert in the fall and received his doctorate in 1953 as the first graduate student Wielandts with the work " products of pairwise permutable cyclic groups ", in which he, inter alia, showed that such groups are überauflösbar. This was the first of more than 40 other scientific work, apart from his books and monographs. The dissertation topic was very close by then interest Wielandts, who in 1951 published the first work to the present set of cone - Wielandt: The product of pairwise permutable nilpotent groups is solvable.

1963/64, he spent a year as a visiting professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana -Champaign and at the California Institute of Technology ( CalTech ) in Pasadena. In January 1965 he became Professor of Pure Mathematics in Mainz, where he worked until his retirement in 1994. He made outstanding contributions to the development of the Mainz group theory and algebra research and education.

Due to an order sent to him, he wrote with " Finite groups I" a monumental standard work of the theory of finite groups. Volumes II and III appeared only 14 years later, in English rather than in German with the co-author Norman Blackburn. For the first band, the Kiel group had made ​​important contributions to Wolfgang Gaschütz in discussions.

In 1984, Huppert together with Gerhard Michler at the four German universities of Aachen, Bielefeld, Essen and Mainz the first DFG priority program in mathematics.

From 1964 to 1985 Huppert was a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Algebra. With Wolfgang Gaschütz and Karl Gruenberg, he organized many years the Oberwolfach conference on " Group Theory " and Jonathan L. Alperin and Gerhard O. Michler the Oberwolfach conference on " Representation Theory ".

He was on the founding board of the "Institute for Experimental Mathematics " at the University of Essen and is a member of the " Academy of Sciences " in Erfurt.
