Education and career

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 for a full professorship in Geometry to the TU Dresden. [3]

In mathematics, the Fontaine–Mazur conjectures are some conjectures introduced by Fontaine and Mazur (1995) 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 were already proved by Dieulefait (2004).

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.
