Wolf Barth

Wolf Paul Barth (20 October 1942, Wernigerode – 30 December 2016, Nuremberg) was a German mathematician who discovered Barth surfaces and whose work on vector bundles has been important for the ADHM construction.[1][2] Until 2011 Barth was working in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany.

Barth received did PhD degree in 1967 from the University of Göttingen. His dissertation, written under the direction of Reinhold Remmert and Hans Grauert, was entitled Einige Eigenschaften analytischer Mengen in kompakten komplexen Mannigfaltigkeiten (Some properties of analytic sets in compact, complex manifolds).[3]

gollark: * works
gollark: Yes, but I mean that that price formula is pretty arbitrary and not how an actual market owrks.
gollark: No, it sounds like you would just *set* a price arbitrarily.
gollark: In actual markets, the price is created by the interaction of buy/sell orders though.
gollark: If all the dividends are the same, then the actual value is going to also be the same.
