Werner Hoffmann

Werner Hoffmann is a Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Bielefeld. He holds multiple academic responsibilities including Chairman of the Examination Board for the Bachelor of Business Mathematics, member of the Teaching and Student Affairs Commission, and member of the Bielefeld Graduate School in Theoretical Sciences. His office is located at UHG V4-216 with regular office hours on Mondays from 12:00 to 13:00.

His research focuses on harmonic analysis on reductive groups, automorphic forms, and their connections to the Arthur-Selberg trace formula. Specific interests include:

• Fourier transforms of invariant distributions
• Relations between trace formulas and prehomogeneous vector spaces
• Limit multiplicities of representations in automorphic forms
• Selberg-type zeta functions
• Geometric aspects of trace formulas

Hoffmann's publications primarily explore advanced topics in harmonic analysis, automorphic forms, and trace formulas. His recent work demonstrates a consistent focus on explicit computations for specific Lie groups (G₂, symplectic groups), geometric aspects of trace formulas, and Fourier transforms of orbital integrals. The research spans both theoretical developments and computational aspects in representation theory.
