Ana Caraiani (born 1985) [1] is a Romanian-American mathematician, who is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Hausdorff Chair at the University of Bonn. Her research interests include algebraic number theory and the Langlands program.
She was born in Bucharest [2] and studied at Mihai Viteazul High School. [3] In 2001, Caraiani became the first Romanian female competitor in 15 years at the International Mathematical Olympiad, where she won a silver medal. In the following two years, she won two gold medals. [4] [1] [3]
After graduating high school in 2003, she pursued her studies in the United States. [5] As an undergraduate student at Princeton University, Caraiani was a two-time Putnam Fellow (the only female competitor at the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition to win more than once) and Elizabeth Lowell Putnam Award winner. [4] [6] [7] Caraiani graduated summa cum laude from Princeton in 2007, with an undergraduate thesis on Galois representations supervised by Andrew Wiles. [4]
Caraiani did her graduate studies at Harvard University under the supervision of Wiles' student Richard Taylor, earning her Ph.D. in 2012 with a dissertation concerning local-global compatibility in the Langlands correspondence. [4] [8]
After spending a year as an L.E. Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago, she returned to Princeton and the Institute for Advanced Study as a Veblen Instructor and NSF Postdoctoral Fellow. [4] In 2016, she moved to the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics as a Bonn Junior Fellow. [4] She moved to Imperial College London in 2017 as a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer. [4] In 2019, she became a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Reader at Imperial College London. [4] As of 2021, Caraiani is a full professor at Imperial College London. [9] She rejoined the University of Bonn in 2022 as Hausdorff Chair.
Caraiani's research work includes the papers "Patching and the p-adic local Langlands correspondence" (2016), [10] "On the generic part of the cohomology of compact unitary Shimura varieties" (2017) [11] with Peter Scholze, and "Potential automorphy over CM fields" (2023). [12] These three papers all happen to be directly related to the Langlands program, but she does have other interests.[ citation needed ]
Caraiani discusses the Langlands program from a more general perspective in the survey article "New frontiers in Langlands reciprocity". [13]
In 2007, the Association for Women in Mathematics awarded Caraiani their Alice T. Schafer Prize. [4] [6] In 2018, she was one of the winners of the Whitehead Prize of the London Mathematical Society. [14]
She was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in the 2020 Class, for "contributions to arithmetic geometry and number theory, in particular the -adic Langlands program". [15] She is one of the 2020 winners of the EMS Prize. [16] In September 2022 she was awarded the 2023 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize. [17]
In mathematics, the Sato–Tate conjecture is a statistical statement about the family of elliptic curves Ep obtained from an elliptic curve E over the rational numbers by reduction modulo almost all prime numbers p. Mikio Sato and John Tate independently posed the conjecture around 1960.
Richard Lawrence Taylor is a British mathematician working in the field of number theory. He is currently the Barbara Kimball Browning Professor in Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University.
In mathematics, arithmetic geometry is roughly the application of techniques from algebraic geometry to problems in number theory. Arithmetic geometry is centered around Diophantine geometry, the study of rational points of algebraic varieties.
Trevor Dion Wooley FRS is a British mathematician and currently Professor of Mathematics at Purdue University. His fields of interest include analytic number theory, Diophantine equations and Diophantine problems, harmonic analysis, the Hardy-Littlewood circle method, and the theory and applications of exponential sums. He has made significant breakthroughs on Waring's problem, for which he was awarded the Salem Prize in 1998.
Ravi D. Vakil is a Canadian-American mathematician working in algebraic geometry.
Nicholas Ian Shepherd-Barron, FRS, is a British mathematician working in algebraic geometry. He is a professor of mathematics at King's College London.
Sir Martin Hairer is an Austrian-British mathematician working in the field of stochastic analysis, in particular stochastic partial differential equations. He is Professor of Mathematics at EPFL and at Imperial College London. He previously held appointments at the University of Warwick and the Courant Institute of New York University. In 2014 he was awarded the Fields Medal, one of the highest honours a mathematician can achieve. In 2020 he won the 2021 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.
Michael Howard Harris is an American mathematician known for his work in number theory. He is a professor of mathematics at Columbia University and professor emeritus of mathematics at Université Paris Cité.
Peter Scholze is a German mathematician known for his work in arithmetic geometry. He has been a professor at the University of Bonn since 2012 and director at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics since 2018. He has been called one of the leading mathematicians in the world. He won the Fields Medal in 2018, which is regarded as the highest professional honor in mathematics.
Colin John Bushnell was a British mathematician specialising in number theory and representation theory. He spent most of his career at King's College London, including a stint as the head of the School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, and made several contributions to the representation theory of reductive p-adic groups and the local Langlands correspondence.
