Václav Hlavatý: a mathematical career that started in Delft
Original language description
One of the biggest events in the history of physics in the 20th century was undoubtedly Einstein?s relativity theory. Mathematicians also had their own specific community in this, formed Ricci, Levi-Civita, Schouten, and Struik. Although it can be claimed that Weyl, Klein, Levi-Civita, and Ricci-Curbastro were more important and/or influential, it was clearly Schouten who inspired the Czech mathematician Václav Hlavatý to work on this topic. Václav Hlavatý studied mathematics at the Philosophical Faculty of Charles University in Prague and descriptive geometry at the Czech Technical University. He continued working in geometry, but the turning point in his career is marked by his one-semester stay with Jan Arnoldus Schouten in Delft in 1924. After thisstay, Hlavatý submitted his habilitation (1 October 1924) and became deeply interconnected with the community of European differential geometers. Hlavatý?s career is closely tied with the search of geometry for Einstein?s unified field t
