The verdict

At its closing session on November 28, 2011, the jury decided to award the main prize to

• Dr. Steffen Gielen
  for the thesis Geometric Aspects of Gauge and Spacetime Symmetries which made important contributions to deformed space-time symmetries in classical General Relativity and CP violation in the electroweak sector of quantum chromo-dynamics.

The jury also decided to give a honourable mention to the thesis of

• Mgr. Martin Scholtz, Ph.D.
  entitled Helical symmetry and the non-existence of asymptotically flat periodic solutions in general relativity for its author approach and the method he developed to generalize the Gibbons and Stewart theorem in General Relativity.
