George Arthur Elliott FRSC (born 1945) is a Canadian mathematician specializing in operator algebras, K-theory, and non-commutative geometry. He is a professor at the University of Toronto Department of Mathematics, [1] and holds a Canada Research Chair. He is best known for his work on classifying C*-algebras, both for initiating their classification [2] and highlighting the importance of K-theory in this respect. [3]
