Hans Petersson

Hans Petersson (24 September 1902 in Bentschen – 9 November 1984 in Münster) was a German mathematician, known for his research on modular and automorphic forms.^[1] He introduced the Petersson inner product and is also known for the Ramanujan–Petersson conjecture.

Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 2,287 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

He received his doctorate in 1925 from the University of Hamburg. His thesis advisor was Erich Hecke.^[2]

In a series of papers, Petersson used the Poincaré series to give a complete construction of all meromorphic functions and differentials on a compact Riemann surface.^[3]
