Description
February 11, 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Wilhelm Killing. Far from all scientific centers, Killing formulated a research program that is still relevant today and has significantly influenced mathematical research for a century, namely the structure theory of Lie algebras. The 100th anniversary of Killing's death is an appropriate opportunity to honour Killing's merits which he has earned in tireless work for research and teaching, with a short portrait, albeit very incomplete.
