- Artin biography
- Emil Artin
.
- Emil Artin's father, also called Emil Artin, was an art dealer.
- Emil's mother was Emma Laura-Artin and she was an opera singer.
- Artin's childhood was not a particularly happy one and he recounted later in his life how he had felt lonely.
- However Artin did begin his university career, enrolling at the University of Vienna.
- At Hamburg Artin lectured on a wide variety of topics including mathematics, mechanics and relativity.
- These were particularly productive years for Artin's research.
- The ten year period 1921-1931 of Artin's life [saw] an activity not often equalled in the life of a mathematician.
- It developed rapidly in the following decade and when Artin solved the following problem in 1924 he was following the natural progression for the topic.
- In his 1924 attack on this problem Artin restricted himself to considering only fields which were an algebraic closure of the field of rationals.
- In 1926 Artin published an important paper on joint work with Otto Schreier and we give some details below.
- Before looking further at the joint 1926 paper of Artin and Schreier we note that the pair published a 1927 paper in which they were able to handle the problem described above in the case of fields of prime characteristic.
- In this 1927 work they introduced what are called today Artin-Schreier cyclic extensions of degree p.
- The earlier research by Artin and Schreier had led them to define what today are called formally real fields, they are fields with the property that -1 cannot be expressed as a sum of squares.
- Artin himself proved that when O is the field of algebraic numbers, the subfield K of real algebraic numbers solves the problem and, moreover, it is the unique solution up to automorphisms of the field O.
- Artin and Schreier published in their famous 1926 paper their studies of all formally real fields and real closed fields, showing that a specific ordering could be defined on them.
- Now that the connection had been made with ordered fields, Artin was able to apply these methods to solve Hilbert's 17th problem.
- Artin gave a complete solution in the paper Uber die Zerlegung definiter Funcktionen in Quadrate also published in 1927.
- The path which led Artin to his reciprocity law began while he was still a student.
- Artin took the work of Takagi forward making several major steps.
- In 1923 in Uber eine neue Art von L-Reihen Artin was able to obtain special cases of the results which were clearly forming in his mind and these special cases depended on the use of existing reciprocity laws.
- It was not Chebotaryov's result which was seen to be so important for Artin's theories, rather it was a method he used in his proof.
- With this idea as a basis Artin was able to reverse his 1923 approach.
- Instead of using the existing reciprocity laws, Artin proved his theorems based on the new approach which then yielded a new reciprocity law which contained all previous reciprocity laws.
- The theorems of Artin's 1927 paper have became central results in abelian class field theory.
- In my opinion, the main importance of Artin's Reciprocity Law is that it opens a new viewpoint on those classical laws, formulating it as an isomorphism theorem.
- Similarly, Artin's Reciprocity Law opens the way to new applications and progress.The most striking application was given by Furtwangler's proof of the principal ideal theorem of class field theory, given one year after the publication of Artin's Reciprocity Law.
- Another important piece of work done by Artin during his first period in Hamburg was the theory of braids which he presented in 1925.
- Artin made a number of conjectures which have played a large role in the development of mathematics.
- thesis Artin verified this in a number of cases numerically.
- Thus, this conjecture of Artin was the origin of a wide range of activities in what is now called arithmetic geometry.
- Second, there is Artin's conjecture on primitive roots.
- Given any integer g not 1 or -1, and g not a power of some other integer, then Artin conjectured that there are infinitely many prime numbers p such that g is a primitive root modulo p in the sense of Gauss.
- Artin made this conjecture to Hasse on 27 September 1927 (according to an entry in Hasse's diary), and since then many mathematicians have tried to prove it.
- Again, Artin's conjecture triggered a lot of interesting activities in number theory.
- Artin married one of his students, Natalie Jasny, in 1929 [Bull.
- Artin was not a Jew and was not affected by these laws.
- Artin [Bull.
- During his years in the United States Artin put his energies into teaching and supervising his Ph.D.
- Among Artin's main books are Galois theory (1942), Rings with minimum condition (1948) written jointly was C J Nesbitt and R M Thrall, Geometric algebra (1957) and Class field theory (1961) written with J T Tate.
- In 1958 Artin returned to Germany, being appointed again to the University of Hamburg which he had left in such unhappy circumstances over 20 years before.
- In 1958 Artin returned to Hamburg and, in a moving passage in [Bull.
- 73 (1967), 27-43.',8)">8], Brauer describes walking through the streets of Hamburg with Artin in November 1958:-
.
- Before Artin's eyes, I believe, there must have been the picture of the young Artin who had walked through the same streets thirty years before, full of life and strength.
- Artin had many interests outside mathematics, however, having a love of chemistry, astronomy and biology.
- Artin was honoured by the award of the American Mathematical Society's Cole Prize in number theory.
- Artin's scientific achievements are only partially set forth in his papers and textbooks and in the drafts of his lectures, which often contain new insights.
- Honours awarded to Emil Artin

- Suetuna biography
- Now 1927, the year Suetuna went to Europe, was the one in which Artin published his general reciprocity law which in some sense completed the proofs of the ideas Takagi had introduced in 1920.

- I have followed Artin in the treatment of Galois theory, except for minor modifications.
- The reader can profitably consult Artin's short book on the subject to see the differences.

- The order of the book is still remarkably like that given by Artin-Noether-Van der Waerden some thirty years ago.
- Jacobson: 'Theory of Rings
- The theory that forms the subject of this book had its beginning with Artin's extension in 1927 of Wedderburn's structure theory of algebras to rings satisfying the chain conditions.
- The structure theory for algebras over a general field dates from the publication of Wedderburn's thesis in 1907; the extension to rings, from Artin's paper in 1927.
