Helga Baum (née Dlubek, born 1954)[1] is a German mathematician. She is professor for differential geometry and global analysis in the Institute for Mathematics of the Humboldt University of Berlin.[2]

Education[edit]

Baum earned a doctorate (Dr. sc. nat.) in mathematics in 1980 at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Her dissertation, Spin-Strukturen und Dirac-Operatoren über Pseudoriemannschen Mannigfaltigkeiten, was supervised by Thomas Friedrich [de].[3]

Books[edit]

Baum is the author or coauthor of several books, including:

  • Conformal differential geometry: Q-curvature and conformal holonomy, with Andreas Juhl, Birkhäuser, 2010[4]
  • Eichfeldtheorie: Eine Einführung in die Differentialgeometrie auf Faserbündeln [Gauge theory: An introduction into differential geometry on fibre bundles] (Springer, 2009; 2nd ed., 2014)[5]
  • Twistor and Killing spinors on Riemannian manifolds, with Thomas Friedrich, Ralf Grunewald, and Ines Kath, Teubner, 1991[6]
