A conference in honour of Chris Peter' 75th birthday
On Thursday 5 and Friday 6 September 2024 a conference will be organised in honour of the 75th birthday of Chris Peters. Peters is a leading expert in algebraic geometry, especially in Hodge theory.
Chris Peters turned 75 on 8 March 2024. Chris has had a lasting influence in the areas of complex surfaces, period maps in Hodge theory, differential geometry of mixed period domains and Chow motives of surfaces.
He co-authored books that have become essential references for the mathematical community, including:
- Compact complex surfaces
- Period Domains
- Mixed Hodge Structures
They were written with various colleagues such as W. Barth, A. van de Ven, K. Hulek, J. Carlson, S. Müller-Stach and J. Steenbrink.
Chris also played a pivotal role in European research projects and co-founded the Dutch ZWO-project "Moduli", fostering the growth of numerous world-class mathematicians. His prolific body of work, including seminal papers on ζ(3) with F. Beukers and the topology of complex surfaces with a number-theoretic focus, continues to inspire and shape modern mathematics.
Chris has directly and indirectly mentored a generation of mathematicians through his books and invaluable research works.
