Diplom- und Doktorarbeit

• In meiner Dissertation untersuche ich das Spektrum des Dirac-Operators, insbesondere die Abhängigkeit des Spektrums von der Spin-Struktur. Die Dissertation wurde von Prof. C. Bär betreut.
  Die Doktorarbeit Spin-Strukturen und das Spektrum des Dirac-Operators (ISBN 3-8265-4282-7) wurde im Mai 1998 abgegeben und wurde beim Shaker Verlag veröffentlicht.
  Elektronisch kann die Doktorarbeit hier runtergeladen werden.
• In meiner Diplomarbeit untersuchte ich Existenzaussagen für minimale Geodätische auf Mannigfaltigkeiten mit nilpotenter Fundamentalgruppe. Nähere Informationen erhält man im oben gelinkten Preprint "Minimal geodesics and nilpotent fundamental groups". Die Diplomarbeit wurde von Prof. V. Bangert betreut.
