Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Dave Benson is an outstanding mathematician who made significant contributions to the representation theory of finite groups. He started as a pure group theorist with an existence proof of Janko's fourth simple group. Today, his main interest is centered around 'Representations and Cohomology' (which is the title of two beautiful volumes he wrote). His work is built on connections to a number of other fields like algebraic topology and commutative algebra. Professor Benson is popular as an enthusiastic lecturer, and his interests reach far beyond mathematics: he is an expert on 'Mathematics and Music' and, last not least, an excellent juggler.
