| dbo:abstract | Walter Feit (* 26. Oktober 1930 in Wien; † 29. Juli 2004 in Branford, Connecticut) war ein US-amerikanischer Mathematiker, der sich mit Gruppentheorie beschäftigte. (de) Walter Feit, né le 26 octobre 1930 et mort le 29 juillet 2004, est un mathématicien américain d'origine autrichienne. Il est surtout connu pour le théorème de Feit-Thompson en théorie des groupes démontré avec John Griggs Thompson. (fr) Walter Feit (October 26, 1930 – July 29, 2004) was an Austrian-born American mathematician who worked in finite group theory and representation theory. His contributions provided elementary infrastructure used in algebra, geometry, topology, number theory, and logic. His work helped the development and utilization of sectors like cryptography, chemistry, and physics. He was born to a Jewish family in Vienna and escaped for England in 1939 via the Kindertransport. He moved to the United States in 1946 where he became an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. He did his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, and became a professor at Cornell University in 1952, and at Yale University in 1964. His most famous result is his proof, joint with John G. Thompson, of the Feit–Thompson theorem that all finite groups of odd order are solvable. At the time it was written, it was probably the most complicated and difficult mathematical proof ever completed.He wrote almost a hundred other papers, mostly on finite group theory, character theory (in particular introducing the concept of a coherent set of characters), and modular representation theory. Another regular theme in his research was the study of linear groups of small degree, that is, finite groups of matrices in low dimensions. It was often the case that, while the conclusions concerned groups of complex matrices, the techniques employed were from modular representation theory. He also wrote the books:The representation theory of finite groups and Characters of finite groups, which are now standard references on character theory, including treatments of modular representationsand modular characters. Feit was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Nice in 1970. He was awarded the Cole Prize by the American Mathematical Society in 1965, and was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He also served as Vice-President of the International Mathematical Union. "In October 2003, on the eve of Professor Feit's retirement, colleagues and former students gathered at Yale for a special four-day "Conference on Groups, Representations and Galois Theory" to honor him and his contributions. Nearly 80 researchers from around the world met to exchange ideas in the fields he had helped to create." He died in Branford, Connecticut in 2004 and was survived by his wife, Dr. Sidnie Feit, and a son and daughter. "A memorial service was held on Sunday October 10, 2004 at the New Haven Lawn Club, 193 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT." (en) Walter Feit (Wenen, 26 oktober 1930 - Branford, 29 juli 2004) was een in Oostenrijk geboren Amerikaans wiskundige, die voornamelijk werkte op het gebied van de eindige groepentheorie en de representatietheorie. Hij werd geboren in Wenen in een Joodse familie. Zijn ouders, die tijdens de oorlog werden vermoord, stuurden hem in 1939 als onderdeel van een kindertransport naar Engeland. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog in 1946 verhuisde hij naar de Verenigde Staten, waar hij studeerde aan de Universiteit van Chicago. Hij promoveerde aan de Universiteit van Michigan. In 1952 werd hij professor aan de Cornell Universiteit en in 1964 werd hij hoogleraar aan de Yale-universiteit. Zijn beroemdste resultaat is zijn gezamenlijke, met John Griggs Thompson gevonden bewijs van de , dat alle eindige groepen van oneven orde oplosbaar zijn. Op het moment dat dit bewijs werd gepubliceerd was het waarschijnlijk het meest gecompliceerde en moeilijkste wiskundig bewijs dat ooit was voltooid. Feit publiceerde bijna honderd andere artikelen, meestal over de eindige groepentheorie, de karaktertheorie en de . Een ander regelmatig thema in zijn werk was de studie van lineaire groepen van kleinere graad, dat wil zeggen eindige groepen van matrices in lagere dimensies. Het was vaak het geval dat, terwijl de conclusies betrekking hadden op groepen van complexe matrices, de gebruikte technieken uit de kwamen. Ook schreef hij de boeken De representatietheorie van eindige groepen ISBN 0-444-86155-6 enKarakteristieken van eindige groepen, wat nu standaardwerken waren op het gebied van de karakteristiektheorie, met inbegrip van behandelingen van modulaire vertegenwoordigingen en modulaire karakters. Hij werd bekroond met de Cole-prijs door de American Mathematical Society in 1965, en werd verkozen in de United States National Academy of Sciences en de American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Hij diende ook als vicevoorzitter van de Internationale Wiskundige Unie.

Nel 1965 gli è stato assegnato il premio Cole. Nato a Vienna da una famiglia ebraica, Walter Feit fu tra i circa 10 000 bambini giunti come rifugiati in Inghilterra nel 1939 con il Kindertransport. Sopravvisse così all'Olocausto. Nel 1946 si trasferì negli Stati Uniti.

Outro tema regular em suas pesquisas foi o estudo de grupos lineares de pequeno grau, isto é, grupos finitos de matrizes de pequena dimensão. Recebeu o Prêmio Cole da American Mathematical Society em 1965, e foi eleito para a Academia Nacional de Ciências dos Estados Unidos e Academia de Artes e Ciências dos Estados Unidos. Foi vice-presidente da União Internacional de Matemática.
