Alfred Tauber worked in Vienna. His research was on function theory and potential theory. He obtained important results on divergent series and the name Tauberian Theorems was coined by Hardy and Littlewood. Further major results in this area were obtained by Norbert Wiener.
Of lesser importance is Tauber's work on differential equations and the gamma function.
The date of his death is unknown. He was sent by the Nazis to
Theresienstadt concentration camp on June 28 1942. Just after Tauber arrived the
entire non-Jewish population of 3700 of Theresienstadt was evacuated and he was
one of 53000 inhabitants of the camp.
