معرفی
Rudolf Zeidler is a Professor at the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Potsdam. His research lies at the intersection of geometry and topology, with a focus on problems involving scalar curvature, spin geometry, and index theory. Previously, he held positions at the University of Münster (2016–2025) and earned his doctoral degree in 2016 from the University of Göttingen under the supervision of Thomas Schick.
- Current Position: Professor, University of Potsdam
- Previous Affiliation: University of Münster
- Education: PhD in Mathematics, University of Göttingen (2016)
Zeidler's research explores the interplay between scalar curvature, Dirac operators, and topological invariants. His work includes rigidity theorems for warped product metrics, band width estimates, and applications of coarse geometry to Kazhdan groups. He has led the ERC Starting Grant Project COMSCAL and participated in collaborative initiatives like the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster and the CRC 1442 Geometry: Deformations and Rigidity.
Key trends in his publications (2016–2025) reflect a deep engagement with spin manifolds, positive mass theorems, generalized Callias operators, and noncompact geometric rigidity. His methods often involve boundary value problems for Dirac operators and novel index-theoretic approaches.
