Marc N. Levine (born July 29, 1952 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American mathematician.
Levine graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (bachelor's degree in 1974) and earned his doctorate in 1979 from Brandeis University under Teruhisa Matsusaka. He was assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia from 1979 and at Northeastern University from 1984 in Boston, where he has been associate professor since 1986 and since 1988 professor. He was a visiting professor at University Duisburg-Essen, where he worked with Hélène Esnault. Since 2009 he has been Alexander von Humboldt Professor there. [1] He was also a visiting scholar at MSRI (1986, 1990), Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn (1983, 1987), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (1988), at University of Washington, Caltech, University Paris VI and Henri Poincaré Institute.
Levine works in algebraic geometry, in particular in the development of analogues of concepts from algebraic topology in algebraic geometry and the theory of motives (motivic cohomology, motivic homotopy, algebraic K theory). He developed, together with Fabien Morel, the theory of algebraic cobordism, an algebraic-geometry analog of the theory of cobordism in algebraic topology. In 2002, he was an invited speaker at ICM in Beijing (Algebraic Cobordism).
In 2001 he received the Wolfgang Paul Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and in 2006 received the Humboldt Research Award. [2] In 2013 he was elected to the Leopoldina. [3]
In 2018 he was awarded the Senior Berwick Prize of the London Mathematical Society. [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.
Vladimir Alexandrovich Voevodsky was a Russian-American mathematician. His work in developing a homotopy theory for algebraic varieties and formulating motivic cohomology led to the award of a Fields Medal in 2002. He is also known for the proof of the Milnor conjecture and motivic Bloch–Kato conjectures and for the univalent foundations of mathematics and homotopy type theory.
Sergei Petrovich Novikov is a Soviet and Russian mathematician, noted for work in both algebraic topology and soliton theory. In 1970, he won the Fields Medal.
Sir Simon Kirwan Donaldson is an English mathematician known for his work on the topology of smooth (differentiable) four-dimensional manifolds, Donaldson–Thomas theory, and his contributions to Kähler geometry. He is currently a permanent member of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University in New York, and a Professor in Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London.
Charles Terence Clegg "Terry" Wall is a British mathematician, educated at Marlborough and Trinity College, Cambridge. He is an emeritus professor of the University of Liverpool, where he was first appointed professor in 1965. From 1978 to 1980 he was the president of the London Mathematical Society.
Victor Matveevich Buchstaber is a Soviet and Russian mathematician known for his work on algebraic topology, homotopy theory, and mathematical physics.
Hélène Esnault is a French and German 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.
Ulrike Luise Tillmann FRS is a mathematician specializing in algebraic topology, who has made important contributions to the study of the moduli space of algebraic curves. She is the president of the London Mathematical Society in the period 2021–2022.
Michael Jerome Hopkins is an American mathematician known for work in algebraic topology.
Jacob Alexander Lurie is an American mathematician who is a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study. Lurie is a 2014 MacArthur Fellow.
Fabien Morel is a French algebraic geometer and key developer of A¹ homotopy theory with Vladimir Voevodsky. Among his accomplishments is the proof of the Friedlander conjecture, and the proof of the complex case of the Milnor conjecture stated in Milnor's 1983 paper 'On the homology of Lie groups made discrete'. This result was presented at the Second Abel Conference, held in January–February 2012.
In mathematics, algebraic cobordism is an analogue of complex cobordism for smooth quasi-projective schemes over a field. It was introduced by Marc Levine and Fabien Morel.
Akio Hattori was a Japanese mathematician working in algebraic topology who proved the Hattori–Stong theorem. Hattori was the president of the Mathematical Society of Japan in 1989–1991.
Peter Scholze is a German mathematician known for his work in arithmetic geometry. He has been a professor at the University of Bonn since 2012 and director at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics since 2018. He has been called one of the leading mathematicians in the world. He won the Fields Medal in 2018, which is regarded as the highest professional honor in mathematics.
Eric Mark Friedlander is an American mathematician who is working in algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, algebraic K-theory and representation theory.
Michael Weiss is a German mathematician and an expert in algebraic and geometric topology. He is a professor at the University of Münster.
