About Lothar Göttsche

  • Lothar Göttsche (born January 21, 1961 in Sonderburg, Denmark) is a German mathematician, known for his work in algebraic geometry.
  • After studying mathematics at the University of Kiel, he received his Dr.
  • rer.
  • nat.
  • under the direction of Friedrich Hirzebruch at the University of Bonn in 1989.
  • He was invited as speaker to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing in 2002.
  • Göttsche is a research scientist at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy.
  • He is also editor for Geometry & Topology. Göttsche received international acclaim with his formula for the generating function for the Betti numbers of the Hilbert scheme of points on an algebraic surface: If S {\displaystyle S} is a smooth surface over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 {\displaystyle 0} , then the generating function for the motives of the Hilbert schemes of S {\displaystyle S} can be expressed in terms of the motivic zeta function by Göttsche's formula ? n = 0 8 [ S [ n ] ] t n = ? m = 1 8 Z ( S , L m - 1 t m ) {\displaystyle \sum _{n=0}^{\infty }[S^{[n]}]t^{n}=\prod _{m=1}^{\infty }Z(S,{\mathbb {L} }^{m-1}t^{m})} Here S [ n ] {\displaystyle S^{[n]}} is the Hilbert scheme of length n {\displaystyle n} subschemes of S {\displaystyle S} . Göttsche is also the author of a celebrated conjecture predicting the number of curves in certain linear systems on algebraic surfaces.In 2002 he was an Invited Speaker at the ICM in Beijing.
  • In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
