Cornelius Greither

Cornelius Greither (2024)

Cornelius Greither (born 1956) ^[1] is a German mathematician specialising in Iwasawa theory and the structure of Galois modules. ^[2]

Education and career

Greither completed his PhD in 1983 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München under the supervision of Bodo Pareigis: ^[3] his thesis bears the title Zum Kürzungsproblem kommutativer Algebren. ^[4] He habilitated in 1988 at same university, with thesis title Cyclic Galois extensions and normal bases. ^[4]

In 1992, Greither proved the Iwasawa main conjecture for abelian number fields in the ${\displaystyle p=2}$ case. ^{[5] [6]} In 1999, together with D. R. Rapogle, K. Rubin, and A. Srivastav, he proved a converse to the Hilbert–Speiser theorem. ^[7]

Greither was a full professor at the Universität der Bundeswehr München. He retired in 2022, ^[8] and he is now an emeritus. ^{[9] [10]}

Greither is on the editorial boards of the journals Archivum Mathematicum (Brno) , ^{[2] [11]} New York Journal of Mathematics , ^{[2] [12]} as well as the Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux . ^{[2] [13]} Until 2014, he was an associate editor of Annales mathématiques du Québec. ^{[2] [14]}
