Martin Kneser

Martin Kneser (21 January 1928 – 16 February 2004) was a German mathematician. His father Hellmuth Kneser and grandfather Adolf Kneser were also mathematicians. He obtained his PhD in 1950 from Humboldt University of Berlin with the dissertation: Über den Rand von Parallelkörpern. His advisor was Erhard Schmidt. His name has been given to Kneser graphs which he studied in 1955. He also gave a simplified proof of the Fundamental theorem of algebra. Kneser was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1962 at Stockholm. His main publications were on quadratic forms and algebraic groups. (Wikipedia).

Topics in Combinatorics lecture 6.9 -- Two applications of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem

Here I show how to use the Borsuk-Ulam theorem to find a graph with no short odd cycles but with very high chromatic number, and then to give a solution to the Kneser conjecture. The latter concerns the chromatic number of the Kneser graph, which has as its vertex set the set of all subset

Neil Dummigan: Automorphic forms on Feit's Hermitian lattices

The lecture was held within the framework of the Hausdorff Trimester Program: Periods in Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry and Physics. Abstract: Feit showed, in 1978, that the genus of unimodular hermitian lattices of rank 12 over the Eisenstein integers contains precisely 20 classes. C
