Walter Borho (born 17 December 1945, in Hamburg) is a German mathematician, who works on algebra and number theory. He is a professor at the University of Wuppertal.
Education
[edit]Borho received his PhD in 1973 from the University of Hamburg under the direction of Ernst Witt with a thesis titled Wesentliche ganze Erweiterungen kommutativer Ringe.[1]
Research
[edit]Borho's research focuses on representation theory, Lie algebras, ring theory and also on number theory (amicable numbers) and tilings.
Awards and honors
[edit]In 1986 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley (Nilpotent orbits, primitive ideals and characteristic classes – a survey).
