OSWALD TEICHMüLLER
'Oswald Teichmüller' (June 18, 1913 - September 11, 1943) was a German mathematician who introduced quasiconformal mappings and differential geometric methods into complex analysis.
Teichmüller was a passionate Nazi. In 1933 he organized the boycott of his Jewish colleague Edmund Landau[1]. He joined the Wehrmacht in 1939 and died fighting on the Eastern Front. Much of his work was published in ''Deutsche Mathematik'', a highly ideological journal founded by Ludwig Bieberbach that contained not only scholarly articles but also race propaganda.
Because of the nature of the journal, his papers were hard to find in modern libraries before the publication of his collected works.
The theory of Teichmüller spaces (a moduli space theory for Riemann surfaces) was developed by Lars Ahlfors, Lipman Bers and others.
The ''Teichmüller representative'' or ''Teichmüller character'' is a construction with p-adic numbers.
