Eva Bayer-Fluckiger

Eva Bayer - Fluckiger ( born June 25, 1951 in Budapest) is a Swiss mathematician who deals with algebra and number theory.

Life and career

Bayer - Fluckiger studied at the University of Geneva, where she was awarded a degree in 1974 their mathematics and in 1978 received his doctorate in Michel Kervaire ( Finitude du nombre des classes d' isomorphisme of structures isometriques entières de polynomial minimal semi -simple, Comm. Math.Helveticae, Vol 54 (1979), p 378). After that, she was assistant to 1988 (later Assistant Professor ) at the University of Geneva. 1983/84 she was at the Institute for Advanced Study, 1984-1987 Visiting Professor at IHES and 1986/87 at MSRI. From 1988 to 2001 she. Researcher at the CNRS in Besançon ( Université de Franche -Comté ), most recently as Director Since 2001 she is a professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ( EPFL).

It addressed, among others, quadratic forms, algebraic groups, but also bars along with application in computer science and knot theory. In 1995, she proved with Raman Parimala a conjecture of Serre ( " Conjecture II" ) from 1962 to Galoiskohomologie simply related classical groups.

In 2003, she was Emmy Noether visiting professor at the University of Göttingen.

In 1987 she was a founding member of the Committee Women and Mathematics in France, and from 1988 to 1991 whose board. 1990 to 1996 she was president of the Association of Women and Mathematics of the European Mathematical Society, whose board it was in 1991 to 1996. 1993 to 1995 she was in the Council of the French Mathematical Society.
