His main area of research was mathematical analysis, specifically orthonormal sequences of functions, which laid groundwork for the emergence of the concept of a Hilbert space.
The Riesz–Fischer theorem in Lebesgue integration is named in his honour.
He is the grandson of composer Karl Graedener.[1][2]
