Seminar "Das 3. Problem von Hilbert"
(auch für Lehramtskandidaten)
Wintersemester 2002/03
Termin: freitags 15:30-17:00, Seminarraum D (Meckenheimer Allee 160, Raum 13, Zugang über Beringstraße 1). Vorkenntnisse: Das Seminar wendet sich an alle, die Interesse an Geometrie haben. Es ist dabei insbesondere an Fünftsemester gedacht, die die Vorlesung "Differentialgeometrie I" von Prof. Ballmann hören, aber auch ältere (und auch jüngere) Semester sind willkommen.
Für die meisten Vorträge sind keine Vorkenntnisse nötig, die über das Grundstudium hinausgehen, eine Ausnahme sind die letzten zwei Vorträge. David Hilbert stellte in seinem berühmten Vortrag beim Internationalen Mathematikerkongress im Jahre 1900 eine Reihe wichtiger ungelöster Probleme vor.
Das 3. Problem kann man so formulieren:
Sind je zwei Polyeder mit gleichem Volumen zerlegungsgleich, das heißt kann man immer ein Polyeder in polyedrische Teile schneiden und das andere Polyeder aus diesen Teilen zusammensetzen?
Dieses Problem wurde von Max Dehn im selben Jahr gelöst, was zu neuen Fragen und weiteren Verallgemeinerungen führte. Zum Beispiel ist diese Frage für Polyeder in Euklidischen Räumen der Dimension größer 4 und in hyperbolischen Räumen der Dimension größer 2 noch immer ungelöst. Mit dem Problem der Zerlegungsgleichheit im dreidimensionalen Euklidischen Raum und seinen Verallgemeinerungen wollen wir uns im Seminar beschäftigen.

Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 2002, xix+127 pp. Cloth: ISBN 0-674-00944-4, $24.95. Paper: ISBN 0-674-01381-6, $14.95. INTRODUCTION. This is a brilliant and sharply written little book about knots and theories of knots. Listen to the author's preface: Butterfly knot, clove hitch knot, Gordian knot, hangman's knot, vipers' tangle-knots are familiar objects, symbols of complexity, occasionally metaphors for evil. For reasons 1 do not entirely understand, they were long ignored by mathematicians. A tentative effort by Alexandre-Th©ophile Vandermonde at the end of the eighteenth century was short-lived, and a preliminary study by the young Karl Friedrich Gauss was no more successful. Only in the twentieth century did mathematicians apply themselves seriously to the study of knots. But until the mid-198Os, knot theory was regarded as just one of the branches of topology: important, of course, but not very interesting to anyone outside a small circle of specialists (particularly Germans and Americans).
