Peter Slodowy

Peter Slodowy (12 October 1948, in Leverkusen – 19 November 2002, in Bonn) was a German mathematician who worked on singularity theory and algebraic geometry.

He completed his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Regensburg in 1978 under the direction of Theodor Bröcker and Egbert Brieskorn. The Slodowy correspondence is named after him.

gollark: If they didn't need that (I think the only practical way to achieve this would just be to stick one larger and more efficient converter somewhere) the bulbs would be individually cheaper and probably more efficient too, as well as safer.
gollark: You know something mildly interesting and relevant? LEDs run off lowish-voltage DC. The mains, as connected to most conventional lightbulb fittings (designed for incandescent/flourescent) provides high-voltage AC. This means that every LED lightbulb needs inefficient and probably somewhat expensive power supply circuitry.
gollark: Hmm. Well.
gollark: That seems kind of inefficient.
gollark: What are the three parts then?
