Andrew Harold Kresch (born 1972) is an American mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry and a professor at the University of Zurich.
Kresch won a silver medal at the 1989 International Mathematical Olympiad. [1] He studied at the Yale University and received his PhD from University of Chicago in 1998 under the supervision of William Fulton on Chow Homology for Artin Stacks. [2] He was lecturer at the University of Warwick and became a full professor at the University of Zurich in 2006. [3]
In 2024 Kresch became an elected member of Academia Europaea. [4]
Alexander Grothendieck was a German-born mathematician who became the leading figure in the creation of modern algebraic geometry. His research extended the scope of the field and added elements of commutative algebra, homological algebra, sheaf theory, and category theory to its foundations, while his so-called "relative" perspective led to revolutionary advances in many areas of pure mathematics. He is considered by many to be the greatest mathematician of the twentieth century.
John Torrence Tate Jr. was an American mathematician distinguished for many fundamental contributions in algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and related areas in algebraic geometry. He was awarded the Abel Prize in 2010.
Michael Artin is a German-American mathematician and a professor emeritus in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Mathematics Department, known for his contributions to algebraic geometry.
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.
Robin Cope Hartshorne is an American mathematician who is known for his work in algebraic geometry.
Dame Frances Clare Kirwan, is a British mathematician, currently Savilian Professor of Geometry at the University of Oxford. Her fields of specialisation are algebraic and symplectic geometry.
William Edgar Fulton is an American mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry.
Alexander A. Beilinson is the David and Mary Winton Green University professor at the University of Chicago and works on mathematics. His research has spanned representation theory, algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. In 1999, Beilinson was awarded the Ostrowski Prize with Helmut Hofer. In 2017, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. In 2018, he received the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and in 2020 the Shaw Prize in Mathematics.
Steven Lawrence Kleiman is an American mathematician.
