Helga Baum, born in 1954, is a talented mathematician from Germany. She teaches at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Her special subjects are differential geometry and global analysis. These are advanced topics in mathematics.
Becoming a Mathematician
Helga Baum studied mathematics at the Humboldt University of Berlin. She worked very hard and earned her doctorate degree in 1980. A doctorate is a very high university degree. Her special research for this degree was about "Spin-Strukturen und Dirac-Operatoren über Pseudoriemannschen Mannigfaltigkeiten." This translates to "Spin Structures and Dirac Operators on Pseudo-Riemannian Manifolds." Her professor, Thomas Friedrich, helped her with this important work.
Books by Helga Baum
Helga Baum has written or helped write several important books about mathematics. These books share her knowledge with other students and experts.
- Conformal differential geometry: Q-curvature and conformal holonomy: She wrote this book with Andreas Juhl in 2010. It's about a special type of geometry called conformal differential geometry.
- Eichfeldtheorie: Eine Einführung in die Differentialgeometrie auf Faserbündeln: This book, first published in 2009, is about "Gauge theory." It helps explain how differential geometry works on special mathematical structures called fibre bundles.
- Twistor and Killing spinors on Riemannian manifolds: In 1991, she co-wrote this book. It talks about "twistor" and "Killing spinors" on Riemannian manifolds. These are complex ideas in advanced geometry.
- Spin-Strukturen und Dirac-Operatoren über pseudoriemannschen Mannigfaltigkeiten: This book, from 1981, is based on her doctorate research. It explains "Spin structures and Dirac operators on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds."
