TitleKühn, Daniela: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date21 April 2024
DescriptionCertificate endorsing election of Daniela Kühn as a Fellow of the Royal Society. Includes personal details of the elected Fellow, citation giving the reasons for election, and names of proposers. Signed by the Executive Director of the Royal Society, Julie Maxton.
CitationDaniela Kühn is being nominated for her significant contributions, with Derek Osthus and others, to combinatorics. Kühn and her collaborators have solved a number of longstanding open questions about graphs, hypergraphs and tournaments. To give the flavour of just one among many, they proved a conjecture of Kelly from 1968, showing that every regular tournament has a decomposition into edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. As with many of their works, the proof is extremely long and difficult and introduced many tools which have been used for other problems. Under her leadership, a thriving school in combinatorics has developed at Birmingham.
