Andreas Thom is a German mathematician, working on geometric group theory, algebraic topology, ergodic theory of group actions, and operator algebras. [1]
Thom received in 2000 his Certificate of Advanced Study in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge. In 2003 he obtained his doctorate (Promotion) from the University of Münster with thesis advisor Joachim Cuntz and thesis Connective E-Theory and Bivariant Homology for C*-Algebra. [2] He was a Postdoc 2003–2005 at the University of Münster, and 2005–2007 at the University of Göttingen. From 2007 to 2009 he was a junior professor for Geometrical Aspects of Pure Mathematics at the University of Göttingen. After being promoted to assistant professor in Göttingen, he moved in 2009 to become a full professor for Theoretical Mathematics at the University of Leipzig. In 2014 he moved to a full professorship in geometry at TU Dresden. [3]
In mathematics, the Jacobian varietyJ(C) of a non-singular algebraic curve C of genus g is the moduli space of degree 0 line bundles. It is the connected component of the identity in the Picard group of C, hence an abelian variety.
Geometric group theory is an area in mathematics devoted to the study of finitely generated groups via exploring the connections between algebraic properties of such groups and topological and geometric properties of spaces on which these groups can act non-trivially.
Wilhelm Karl Joseph Killing was a German mathematician who made important contributions to the theories of Lie algebras, Lie groups, and non-Euclidean geometry.
Victor Ginzburg is a Russian American mathematician who works in representation theory and in noncommutative geometry. He is known for his contributions to geometric representation theory, especially, for his works on representations of quantum groups and Hecke algebras, and on the geometric Langlands program. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Chicago.
Cornelia Druțu is a Romanian mathematician notable for her contributions in the area of geometric group theory. She is Professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford and Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford.
In mathematics, the Fontaine–Mazur conjectures are some conjectures introduced by Fontaine and Mazur about when p-adic representations of Galois groups of number fields can be constructed from representations on étale cohomology groups of a varieties. Some cases of this conjecture in dimension 2 have been proved by Dieulefait (2004).
Sophie Morel is a French mathematician, specializing in number theory. She is a CNRS directrice de recherches in mathematics at École normale supérieure de Lyon. In 2012 she received one of the ten prizes of the European Mathematical Society.
Ruth Kellerhals is a Swiss mathematician at the University of Fribourg, whose field of study is hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory and polylogarithm identities.
Günter Harder is a German mathematician, specializing in arithmetic geometry and number theory.
Zhiwei Yun is a Chinese-born American mathematician and writer. He is a Professor of Mathematics at MIT specializing in number theory, algebraic geometry and representation theory, with a particular focus on the Langlands program.
Jun-Muk Hwang is a South Korean mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry and complex differential geometry.
Thomas Schick is a German mathematician, specializing in algebraic topology and differential geometry.
Samuel James Patterson is a Northern Irish mathematician specializing in analytic number theory. He has been a professor at the University of Göttingen since 1981.
Mikael Rørdam is a Danish mathematician, specializing in the theory of operator algebras and its applications.
Marius Nicolae Crainic is a Romanian mathematician working in the Netherlands.
Philipp Habegger is a Swiss mathematician and a professor of mathematics at the University of Basel who works in Diophantine geometry.
Thomas Hermann Geisser is a German mathematician working at Rikkyo University. He works in the field of arithmetic geometry, motivic cohomology and algebraic K-theory.
In algebraic geometry, the Bogomolov–Sommese vanishing theorem is a result related to the Kodaira–Itaka dimension. It is named after Fedor Bogomolov and Andrew Sommese. Its statement has differing versions:
Bogomolov–Sommese vanishing theorem for snc pair: Let X be a projective manifold, D a simple normal crossing divisor and an invertible subsheaf. Then the Kodaira–Itaka dimension is not greater than p.
Sergei Raimondovich Treil is a Russian mathematician, specializing in analysis.
