Klaus Fredenhagen

Klaus Fredenhagen (born 1 December 1947) is a German theoretical physicist who works on the mathematical foundations of quantum field theory.[6] In 1990 he and Rudolf Haag made important contributions to the understanding of the Hawking radiation of black holes on a rigorous mathematical footing.[8] In 1996, together with Romeo Brunetti, he started working on the generalization of the Epstein-Glaser renormalization procedure of interacting quantum field theories in curved spacetime using techniques from the microlocal analysis.[10] In 1987 Klaus Fredenhagen was awarded the physics prize of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences[11] and in 1997 he was Leibniz Professor[12] at the University of Leipzig.[13] In December 2017 the workshop Quantum Physics meets Mathematics was held in honor of his 70th birthday at the University of Hamburg.
