Dinesh S. Thakur (born 1961) is an Indian mathematician and a professor of mathematics at University of Rochester. [1] Before moving to Rochester, Thakur was a professor at University of Arizona. [2] His main research interest is number theory.
Thakur was born in Mumbai, India. He attended Balmohan Vidyamandir School in Bombay and completed his undergraduate education at Ruia College, University of Bombay. He got his Ph.D in 1987 at Harvard University [3] under the guidance of Professor John Tate. [4]
Thakur has spent three and half years at Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton and three years at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bombay. He held positions at University of Minnesota and University of Michigan. He moved to University of Arizona in 1993. He joined University of Rochester in July 2013. Thakur wrote a research monograph Function Field Arithmetic. [5] [6] Thakur has been serving on the editorial boards of Journal of Number Theory , International Journal of Number Theory , and P-adic Numbers, [7] Ultrametric Analysis and Applications. Thakur is a founding member of-and for 15 years a participant in-the NSF-funded Southwest Center for Arithmetic Geometry and the Arizona Winter School. [8]
He was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to the arithmetic of function fields, exposition, and service to the mathematical community". [9]
His main work has been in number theory, where he has been instrumental in developing various aspects of function field arithmetic and arithmetic geometry. [10] [11]
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.
In mathematics, p-adic analysis is a branch of number theory that deals with the mathematical analysis of functions of p-adic numbers.
Nicholas Michael Katz is an American mathematician, working in arithmetic geometry, particularly on p-adic methods, monodromy and moduli problems, and number theory. He is currently a professor of Mathematics at Princeton University and an editor of the journal Annals of Mathematics.
Yuval Zvi Flicker is an American mathematician. His primary research interests include automorphic representations.
Manjul Bhargava is a Canadian-American mathematician. He is the Brandon Fradd, Class of 1983, Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, the Stieltjes Professor of Number Theory at Leiden University, and also holds Adjunct Professorships at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, and the University of Hyderabad. He is known primarily for his contributions to number theory.
Arithmetic dynamics is a field that amalgamates two areas of mathematics, dynamical systems and number theory. Part of the inspiration comes from complex dynamics, the study of the iteration of self-maps of the complex plane or other complex algebraic varieties. Arithmetic dynamics is the study of the number-theoretic properties of integer, rational, p-adic, or algebraic points under repeated application of a polynomial or rational function. A fundamental goal is to describe arithmetic properties in terms of underlying geometric structures.
Gopal Prasad is an Indian-American mathematician. His research interests span the fields of Lie groups, their discrete subgroups, algebraic groups, arithmetic groups, geometry of locally symmetric spaces, and representation theory of reductive p-adic groups.
Robert Frederick Coleman was an American mathematician, and professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
