Eberhard Freitag (born 19 May 1942, in Mühlacker) is a German mathematician, specializing in complex analysis and especially modular forms.
Education and career
Freitag studied from 1961 mathematics, physics and astronomy at
Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main. In 1973 he became a professor ordinarius at the University of Mainz. In 1977 he became a professor ordinarius at Heidelberg University
, where from 1991 to 1993 he was the dean of the Faculty of Mathematics.
Freitag's research (like that of his teacher Maaß) deals primarily with the theory of
theta series associated with the 24 Niemeier lattices of dimension 24.[3] Freitag also demonstrated that the Siegel modular variety Ag is of general type when g = 8.[4]
