Helmut Hermann W. Hofer (born February 28, 1956)symplectic topology.[2]
He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences,[3] and the recipient of the 1999 Ostrowski Prize[4] and the 2013
partial differential equations. His contributions to the field include Hofer geometry. Hofer was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2020.[5]
He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in 1990 in Kyoto[6] and a plenary speaker at the ICM in 1998 in Berlin.[7]
He is currently an editor of Annals of Mathematics.[8]
