Heinz Bauer
Heinz Bauer ( born January 31, 1928 in Nuremberg, † August 15 2002 in Erlangen ) was a German mathematician who worked on probability theory and calculus.
Life and work
Bauer attended the Gymnasium in Nuremberg and studied mathematics and physics at the University of Erlangen in Nöbeling Georg and Otto Main and at the University of Nancy (1952 Laurent Schwartz and Jean Dieudonné ). In 1953 he received his doctorate in Erlangen at Main and habilitated in 1956. After that, he was assistant to 1958 in Erlangen, interrupted by a stay 1956/57, as Attaché de Recherches at the CNRS in Paris with Gustave Choquet and Marcel Brelot. In 1961 he became professor of Actuarial Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Hamburg ( where he taught in 1959 ) as the successor of Leopold Schmetterer, who went to Vienna. 1961/62 he was a visiting professor at the University of Washington in Seattle with Victor Klee and in Paris in 1964. In 1965 he was back at the University of Erlangen, where he became the successor of Otto Haupt and was as Stochastiker colleague Konrad Jacobs. In addition, he has held numerous visiting professorships. In 1996 he retired.
Bauer was concerned with potential theory, measure and integration theory, probability theory and functional analysis, and their interrelationships. The Bauer's maximum principle in convex analysis and harmonic Bauer's rooms are named after him. Bauer was marked not least by his stay in France ( in Bourbaki members ) strongly on the axiomatic method of the Bourbaki school.
1988 to 2002 he was in the editorial board of Aequationes Mathematicae.
He had 32 doctoral students, many of whom were professors.
