Detlev Buchholz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Detlev Buchholz is a theoretical physicist at Gottingen University. He investigates quantum field theory, especially algebraic quantum field theory. His contributions include the concept of infraparticles.
Using the methods of Tomita-Takesaki theory he obtained the split property, a strong result about the locality of the theory, from nuclearity conditions of the theory [1] [2].
He is the father of Economist Nicholas Buchholz, best known for his work in analyzing the similarities between Midwestern cities.
