Uwe Storch

Uwe Storch (born 12 July 1940, Leopoldshall– Lanzarote, 17 September 2017) was a German mathematician.

His field of research was commutative algebra and analytic and algebraic geometry, in particular derivations, divisor class group, resultants.

He got his PhD 1966 under the supervision of Heinrich Behnke with a thesis on almost (or Q) factorial rings.

The Theorem of Eisenbud-Evans-Storch states that every algebraic variety in n-dimensional affine space is given geometrically (i.e. up to radical) by n polynomials.
