Osterwalder–Schrader axioms.[2]

Education and career

From 1959 to 1964 Schrader studied physics at

Promotion) in 1969 under the supervision of Klaus Hepp and Res Jost.[1] His thesis, published in Communications in Mathematical Physics, dealt with the Lee model introduced in 1954 by Tsung-Dao Lee.[3][4][5][6]

From 1970 to 1973 Schrader was a research fellow at

Yukawa model in two space-time dimensions). He was a professor of theoretical physics at the Free University of Berlin from 1973 until his retirement in 2005. He was a visiting scientist in 1974 and again in 1980 at the IHÉS at Paris, in 1976 in Harvard, in 1979 at CERN,[7] for the academic year 1986/87 at the Institute for Advanced Study, and in 1989 at the ETH. For two academic years from 1982 to 1984, he was a visiting professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.[1]

Schrader was the author or coauthor of more than 100 scientific publications.

Wightman functions of a relativistic QFT can be reconstructed from the Schwinger functions of a Euclidean theory satisfying the Osterwalder-Schrader axioms. RP is important for statistical mechanics and lattice gauge theory.[1] Schrader worked on many other areas of mathematical and theoretical physics, such as Yang–Mills theory,[10][11][12] invariants of three-dimensional manifolds,[13][14] lattice formulation of gravitational theory,[15][16] quantum chaos,[17] and possibilities for measuring gravitational waves with SQUIDs.[18]
His extensive collaboration with Vadim Korstrykin included research on quantum wires[19][20] and Laplacian operators on metric graphs.[21]
