Mathematicians at War Power Struggles in Nazi Germany’s Mathematical Community: Gustav Doetsch and Wilhelm Süss

Volker R. Remmert (1999)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

The article discusses several examples of power struggles in Nazi Germany’s mathematical community. Among them are the fate of German participation in J.E.L. Brouwer’s journal Compositio mathematica in 1934/35. Ludwig Bieberbach put an end to this participation for political reasons. Special attention is paid to developments in the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (DMV), above all to the presidency of Wilhelm Süss in the years 1937 to 1945. The pre-war years of his presidency were overshadowed...

Murphy's "Positive definite kernels and Hilbert C*-modules" reorganized

Franciszek Hugon Szafraniec (2010)

Banach Center Publications

The paper the title refers to is that in Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, 40 (1997), 367-374. Taking it as an excuse we intend to realize a twofold purpose: 1° to atomize that important result showing by the way connections which are out of favour, 2° to rectify a tiny piece of history. The objective 1° is going to be achieved by adopting means adequate to goals; it is of great gravity and this is just Mathematics. The other, 2°, comes...
