Detlev Buchholz

Detlev Buchholz ( born May 31, 1944 in Gdańsk ) is a German physicist.

Life and work

Buchholz studied physics in Hannover and Hamburg, where in 1968 he received his diploma. 1970/71 he was at the University of Pennsylvania. After receiving his doctorate in 1972 in Hamburg with Rudolf Haag, he worked at the University of Hamburg and was 1974/75 at CERN. 1975-1978 he worked as a research assistant in Hamburg, where he habilitated in 1977. 1978/79 he was a Max Kade Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1979 he became a professor in Hamburg and in 1997 to the University of Göttingen. Since 2010 he has retired.

Buchholz made ​​important contributions to relativistic quantum physics and quantum field theory, especially in the area of axiomatic quantum field theory.

Detlev Buchholz 2008 received the Max Planck Medal of the German Physical Society " for his outstanding contributions to quantum field theory ". In 1998 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin ( Scaling algebras in local relativistic quantum physics ).
