Oswald-Teichm�ller

Oswald Teichm�ller (June 18, 1913 - September 11, 1943) was a Germany mathematician who introduced quasi-conformal mappings and differential geometry methods into complex analysis. His work was published in Deutsche Mathematik, a journal in synthetic mathematics founded by Ludwig Bieberbach and has been neglected for a while for political reasons. Rediscovered few years after his death, the theory of Teichmuller space (a moduli space theory for Riemann surfaces) was further developed by Lars Ahlfors, Lipman Bers and others. The Teichm�ller representative or Teichm�ller character is a construction with p-adic numbers. Teichm�ller was a passionate Nazi who joined the Wehrmacht in 1939 and died fighting on the Eastern Front (WWII). bio-stub
