Frits Beukers (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈfrɪts ˈbøːkərs]) (born 1953, Ankara) is a Dutch mathematician, who works on number theory and hypergeometric functions. In 1979 Beukers received his PhD at Leiden University under the direction of Robert Tijdeman with thesis The generalized Ramanujan–Nagell Equation, published in Acta Arithmetica, vol. 38, 1980/1981. From 1979 to 1980 he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study. He became a professor in Leiden and in the 2000s at Utrecht University.

dbo:abstract
  • Frits Beukers (* 1953 in Ankara) ist ein niederländischer Mathematiker, der sich mit Zahlentheorie beschäftigt. Beukers wurde 1979 bei Robert Tijdeman an der Universität Leiden (The generalized Ramanujan-Nagell Equation, Acta Arithmetica Bd. 38, 1980/81) promoviert. Von 1979 bis 1980 war er am Institute for Advanced Study. Er war danach Professor in Leiden und in den 2000er Jahren an der Universität Utrecht. Beukers beschäftigt sich unter anderem mit Transzendenz- und Irrationalitätsfragen. In Anschluss an den bekannten Beweis von Roger Apéry (1978) der Irrationalität von Werten der Zetafunktion an den Stellen 2 und 3, gab Beukers einen alternativen Beweis. Er veröffentlichte auch über dynamische Systeme der Mechanik und Fragen zu deren exakter Lösbarkeit. (de)

From 1979 to 1980 he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study. He became a professor in Leiden and in the 2000s at Utrecht University. Beukers works on questions of transcendence and irrationality in number theory, and on other topics. In connection with the famous proof by Roger Apéry (1978) on the irrationality of the values of the Riemann zeta function evaluated at the points 2 and 3, Beukers gave a much simpler alternate proof using Legendre polynomials. He also published on questions in mechanics about dynamical systems and their exact solvability. (en)
