Gunter Malle
Gunter Malle (born 13 May 1960 in Karlsruhe) is a German mathematician, specializing in group theory, representation theory of finite groups, and number theory. Malle received his doctorate in 1986 from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology under the supervision of Heinrich Matzat with the thesis ''Exceptional groups of Lie type as Galois groups''. He completed his habilitation in 1991 at Heidelberg University and from 1998 was a professor at Kassel University. Since 2005 he has been a professor at the University of Kaiserslautern, ''Technische Universität Kaiserslautern''. Malle does research on linear algebraic groups, finite groups of Lie type and local-global conjectures in finite-group representation theory, ''e.g.'' Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture, the Jonathan Lazare Alperin, Alperin weight conjecture, and the John McKay (mathematician), McKay conjecture and its block-wise version known as the Alperin-McKay conjecture. Malle's research also deals with the Henri Cohen (number th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

International Congress Of Mathematicians
The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) is the largest conference for the topic of mathematics. It meets once every four years, hosted by the International Mathematical Union (IMU). The Fields Medals, the IMU Abacus Medal (known before 2022 as the Nevanlinna Prize), the Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize, Gauss Prize, and the Chern Medal are awarded during the congress's opening ceremony. Each congress is memorialized by a printed set of Proceedings recording academic papers based on invited talks intended to be relevant to current topics of general interest. Being List of International Congresses of Mathematicians Plenary and Invited Speakers, invited to talk at the ICM has been called "the equivalent ... of an induction to a hall of fame". History German mathematicians Felix Klein and Georg Cantor are credited with putting forward the idea of an international congress of mathematicians in the 1890s.A.

Heidelberg University Alumni
Heidelberg (; ; ) is the fifth-largest city in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, and with a population of about 163,000, of which roughly a quarter consists of students, it is Germany's 51st-largest city. Located about south of Frankfurt, Heidelberg is part of the densely populated Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region which has its centre in Mannheim. Heidelberg is located on the Neckar River, at the point where it leaves its narrow valley between the Oden Forest and the Little Oden Forest, and enters the wide Upper Rhine Plain. The old town lies in the valley, the end of which is flanked by the Königstuhl in the south and the Heiligenberg in the north. The majority of the population lives in the districts west of the mountains in the Upper Rhine Plain, into which the city has expanded over time. Heidelberg University, founded in 1386, is Germany's oldest and one of Europe's most reputable universities. Heidelberg is a scientific hub in Germany and home to sever ...
