13 lives in this collection worked in complex analysis, from 1789 to today. Each has a full course on their life and the mathematics and physics they made.
Often together with: algebra, differential equations, mathematical physics, number theory, riemann surfaces, analytic number theory, differential geometry, group theory, real analysis. All fields
Founder of rigorous analysis and complex function theory, and creator of the stress tensor and the theory of linear elasticity.
analysis, complex analysis, differential equations
Founder of rigorous modern analysis, who introduced the epsilon-delta style, uniform convergence and power-series foundations of complex function theory.
real analysis, complex analysis, elliptic and abelian functions
Founder of Riemann surfaces and Riemannian geometry, and author of the 1859 paper linking the primes to the zeros of the zeta function.
complex analysis, differential geometry, analytic number theory
Swedish analyst known for the theorem on meromorphic functions with prescribed poles, founder of Acta Mathematica and of the Institut Mittag-Leffler.
complex analysis, analytic continuation, summability
Geometer who defined geometry through transformation groups in the Erlangen Program, pioneered automorphic functions, and made Göttingen the world centre of mathematics.
geometry, group theory, complex analysis
Universal mathematician who created automorphic functions, the qualitative theory of dynamical systems and algebraic topology, discovered chaos in the three-body problem, and formulated the Lorentz group of relativity.
complex analysis, differential equations, celestial mechanics
French analyst known for the Picard theorems on entire functions, Picard iteration, Picard–Vessiot theory and the Picard group, and permanent secretary of the Académie des Sciences from 1917 to 1941.
complex analysis, differential equations, algebraic geometry
Teacher of Hilbert and Minkowski, whose name is attached to the Hurwitz zeta function, the Riemann–Hurwitz formula, the Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion and the 1, 2, 4, 8 theorem on composition algebras.
number theory, complex analysis, riemann surfaces
French analyst who proved the prime number theorem, created the theory of entire functions of finite order, and introduced well-posed problems, Hadamard matrices and the study of chaotic geodesic flows.
complex analysis, analytic number theory, differential geometry
French analyst who created the first theory of measure, founded denumerable probability and the theory of games of strategy, and served as Minister of Marine.
measure theory, complex analysis, divergent series
Berlin algebraist who founded much of the representation theory of finite groups and of GL(n), and whose name is attached to results across algebra, combinatorics and analysis.
representation theory, group theory, linear algebra
Finnish-American complex analyst, one of the first two Fields Medallists, who made value distribution theory geometric and with Lipman Bers founded the modern theory of quasiconformal maps, Teichmüller spaces and Kleinian groups.
complex analysis, geometric function theory, quasiconformal mappings
Founder of Teichmüller theory through quasiconformal mappings and quadratic differentials, author of key ideas in valuation theory and Galois cohomology, and an active Nazi who led the 1933 boycott of Edmund Landau.
