Annette Huber-Klawitter (born 23 May 1967) is a German mathematician who works at the University of Freiburg. She studies a special area of math called algebraic geometry. This field uses tools from algebra to solve problems in geometry. She is especially interested in something called the Bloch–Kato conjectures, which are big ideas in advanced number theory.
Early Life and Education
Annette Huber-Klawitter was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on May 23, 1967. When she was a teenager, she was very good at math. Between 1984 and 1986, she won the Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik three times in a row. This is a national math competition in Germany.
She started her university studies at the Goethe University Frankfurt. Later, she earned her doctorate (a very high university degree, sometimes called a PhD) from the University of Münster in 1994. Her PhD work was about complex math ideas related to "mixed motives." After getting her PhD, she spent two years, from 1995 to 1996, doing advanced research at the University of California, Berkeley in the United States.
Career Highlights
Annette Huber-Klawitter has received important awards for her work in mathematics. In 1995, she won the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize. The next year, in 1996, she was awarded an EMS Prize. These awards recognize excellent young mathematicians.
In 1999, she completed her Habilitation at the University of Münster. This is an extra qualification in Germany that allows someone to become a full professor. In 2000, she became a professor of pure mathematics at the University of Leipzig. Since 2008, she has been in charge of the Number Theory department at the University of Freiburg.
She was invited to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing in 2002. This is a very important meeting where mathematicians from all over the world share their latest discoveries. In 2008, she became a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. This is a group of top scientists in Germany. In 2012, she was also made a fellow of the American Mathematical Society, which is a big honor for mathematicians in the United States.
Publications
Annette Huber-Klawitter has written many important papers and books about her math research. Here are a few examples of her published works:
- Mixed Motives and their realization in derived categories, a book published in 1995.
- With J. Wildeshaus: Classical motivic polylogarithm according to Beilinson and Deligne, published in 1998.
- With Guido Kings: Degeneration of l-adic Eisenstein classes and of the elliptic polylog, published in 1999.
- What we (don't) know about equations of degree 3: Elliptic Curves and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, a chapter in a book from 2011.
- With de:Stefan Müller-Stach: Periods and Nori motives, a book published in 2017.
