Timeline

1907

Lars Valerian Ahlfors (18 April 1907 – 11 October 1996) was a Finnish mathematician, remembered for his work in the field of Riemann surfaces and his textbook on complex analysis.

Ahlfors was born in Helsinki, Finland.

His mother, Sievä Helander, died at his birth.

His father, Axel Ahlfors, was a professor of engineering at the Helsinki University of Technology.

The Ahlfors family was Swedish-speaking, so he first attended the private school Nya svenska samskolan where all classes were taught in Swedish.

1924

Ahlfors studied at University of Helsinki from 1924, graduating in 1928 having studied under Ernst Lindelöf and Rolf Nevanlinna.

1929

He assisted Nevanlinna in 1929 with his work on Denjoy's conjecture on the number of asymptotic values of an entire function.

In 1929 Ahlfors published the first proof of this conjecture, now known as the Denjoy–Carleman–Ahlfors theorem.

It states that the number of asymptotic values approached by an entire function of order ρ along curves in the complex plane going toward Infinity is less than or equal to 2ρ.

1930

He completed his doctorate from the University of Helsinki in 1930.

1933

Ahlfors worked as an associate professor at the University of Helsinki from 1933 to 1936.

In 1933, he married Erna Lehnert, an Austrian who with her parents had first settled in Sweden and then in Finland.

The couple had three daughters.

1935

In 1935 Ahlfors visited Harvard University.

1936

In 1936 he was one of the first two people to be awarded the Fields Medal (the other was Jesse Douglas).

1938

He returned to Finland in 1938 to take up a professorship at the University of Helsinki.

1939

The outbreak of war in 1939 led to problems although Ahlfors was unfit for military service.

1944

He was offered a position at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich in 1944 and finally managed to travel there in March 1945.

1946

He did not enjoy his time in Switzerland, so in 1946 he jumped at a chance to leave, returning to work at Harvard, where he remained until his retirement in 1977; he was William Caspar Graustein Professor of Mathematics from 1964.

1953

His book Complex Analysis (1953) is the classic text on the subject and is almost certainly referenced in any more recent text which makes heavy use of complex analysis.

1960

Ahlfors wrote several other significant books, including Riemann surfaces (1960) and Conformal invariants (1973).

He made decisive contributions to meromorphic curves, value distribution theory, Riemann surfaces, conformal geometry, quasiconformal mappings and other areas during his career.

1962

Ahlfors was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1962 and again in 1966.

1968

He was awarded the Wihuri Prize in 1968 and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 1981.

1986

He served as the Honorary President of the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1986 at Berkeley, California, in celebration of his 50th year of the award of his Fields Medal.

1996

Ahlfors died of pneumonia at the Willowwood nursing home in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1996.
