Hans-Jürgen Borchers

Hans-Jürgen Borchers (24 January 1926, Hamburg – 10 September 2011, Göttingen) was a mathematical physicist at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen who worked on operator algebras and quantum field theory. He introduced Borchers algebras and the Borchers commutation relations and Borchers classes in quantum field theory. He was awarded the Max Planck Medal in 1994. Among his students is Jakob Yngvason.

gollark: Differences in what?
gollark: > if you dont go to university and i do, i am going to annoy you by not shutting up about higher math and you will get annoyed.Hmm, that is a reasonable point, although I may do a non-maths subject?
gollark: Vaguely relatedly, I'm not sure if it would be more sensible to go to university, or not go to university.
gollark: I did look at UK income distribution statistics and they were somewhat surprising, really. But still, we have a roughly functional ish economy.
gollark: It's nice living in a reasonably economically developed country.
