Hubert Flenner Uwe Storch's Mathematical Work Factorial domains The PhD thesis: -factorial domains Differential modules Q The Oberseminar in Bochum Further results The work with Bingener The Books Brieskorn singularities Bibliography Hubert Flenner Uwe Storch's Mathematical Work Question of Samuel: is Cl(A) ! Cl(A[[T ]]) always an isomorphism? First counterexample by P. Salmon 1966. Scheja: if A is complete and factorial with depthA ≥ 3 then A[[X ]] is factorial. Theorem Storch Math. Ann. 183(1969): If A is analytic C-algebra, Cl(A) is finitely generated then Cl(A) ! Cl(AfT g) is an isomorphism. Moreover Cl(A) is finitely generated iff A is 1-rational. Definition (Danilov 70): A is said to have discrete divisor class groups if Cl(A) ! Cl(A[[T ]]) an isomorphism.
