  PlanetMath: Bieberbach's conjecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The following theorem is known as the Bieberbach conjecture, even though it has now been proven.
Bieberbach proposed it in 1916 and it was finally proven in 1984 by Louis de Branges.
This is version 4 of Bieberbach's conjecture, born on 2004-06-07, modified 2006-09-17.

 Bieberbach biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Bieberbach was appointed professor of mathematics in Basel in Switzerland, Frankfurt am Main in Germany, and the University of Berlin where he held the chair of geometry.
Bieberbach was managing editor of the Jahresbericht der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung in 1934 and he published an "open letter" in the journal which was highly critical of Harald Bohr because he had attacked Bieberbach's racist views.
Ostrowski respected Bieberbach's contribution as a mathematician, and considered his political views were irrelevant in his remarkable contributions to mathematics.

 De Branges' theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In complex analysis, a branch of mathematics, de Branges' theorem, named after Louis de Branges, formerly called the Bieberbach conjecture, after Ludwig Bieberbach, states a necessary condition on a holomorphic function to map the open unit disk of the complex plane injectively to the complex plane.
The case n = 1 of De Branges' theorem is essentially the Schwarz lemma, which was known in the nineteenth century and is a consequence of the maximum modulus principle, applied to f(z)/z.
The conjecture was stated in 1916 by Bieberbach, after having proved the case n=2.

 Bieberbach conjecture
A celebrated conjecture made by the German mathematician Ludwig Bieberbach (1886-1982) in 1916, which was finally proved, after many partial results by others, by Louis de Branges of Purdue University in 1984.[54] Bierberbach is infamous in the history of mathematics because of his outspoken anti-Semitism during the Nazi era.
Following the dismissal of Edmund Landau (1877-1938) from the University of Göttingen, Bierberbach wrote: “This should be seen as a prime example of the fact that representatives of overly different races do not mix as students and teachers...
Bieberbach’s conjecture (BC) stemmed from the Riemann conjecture (RC), which makes a claim about any region of a plane that is simply-connected (in other words, any region, however complicated, that doesn't have any holes).

 Bieberbach
Ludwig Bieberbach was Professor of Mathematics in Berlin and did important work on function theory.
Bieberbach had a reputation as an inspiring but rather disorganised teacher.
Bieberbach also studied polynomials (1914), now named after him, which approximate a function that conformally maps a given simply-connected domain onto a disc.

 Some Systems Theorems Arising From The Bieberbach Conjecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This paper describes how one proof of the Bieberbach conjecture is remarkably parallel to considerations in robust performance of a class of systems.
The purpose of this paper is to describe the system theoretic component of the proof of the Bieberbach conjecture.
Our objective in the paper is not to actually give a full proof of the Bieberbach conjecture but to extract the systems ideas which might be of potential use to system theorists and mathematicians.

Their development in the 70's, of course, was aimed at attacking the Bieberbach conjecture.
While they did not resolve the Bieberbach conjecture (L. deBrange in the early 80's solved the conjecture using alternate techniques), they provided a powerful synthesis for resolving there-to-fore fragmented problems in the theory.

He is best known for proving the long-standing Bieberbach conjecture in 1984, now called De Branges' theorem.
De Branges' proof of the Bieberbach conjecture was not initially accepted by the mathematical community.
Rumors of his proof began to circulate in March 1984, but many mathematicians were sceptical, because de Branges had earlier announced some false results, including a claimed proof of the invariant subspace conjecture in 1964 (incidentally, he recently published a new claimed proof for this conjecture on his website).
