About Albrecht Dold: German mathematician (1928 – 2011)
Albrecht Dolder (August 5, 1928, Triberg, Germany – September 26, 2011) was a German mathematician specializing in algebraic topology, who proved the Dold-Thom theorem, the Dold-Kan correspondence, and introduced Dold Manifolds, Dold-Puppe stabilization, and Dold fibrosis.
Life
Albrecht Dold studied mathematics and physics at the University of Heidelberg, where he received his Ph.D. Degree in 1954 under the direction of Herbert Seifert. He visited the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1956-58 and taught at Columbia University in 1960-62 and the University of Zurich in 1962-63. In 1963 he returned to Heidelberg, where he spent most of his career until his retirement in 1996.
Dolder’s work on algebraic topology, especially his work on the theory of fixed points, made him famous in both economics and mathematics. His book Lectures on Algebraic Topology is a standard reference for economists and mathematicians. He has 19 doctoral students, including Monica Clapp, Eberhard Freytag, Volker Puppe and Karl-Friedrich Berdiheimer, and 58 descendants.
Dolder married the distinguished mathematical historian Yvonne Dolder-Sampronius.
