Philip Caesar Kutzko (born November 24, 1946) is a prominent American mathematician recognized for his contributions to the field of representation theory, particularly in the context of the Langlands program. He has also lead very successful initiatives aimed at increasing diversity in graduate mathematics programs. [3]
Kutzko studied mathematics at the City College of New York, earning a BS degree in 1967. Then at the University of Wisconsin–Madison he got an MS in 1968 and a PhD in 1972, under the supervision of Donald McQuillan for his thesis "The Characters of Binary-Modular Congruence Groups."
Then as a postdoctoral fellow, he went to Princeton University where he became an instructor in 1972, an assistant professor in 1974, an associate professor in 1977, and a full professor in 1977. In 1980 he went to the University of Iowa (U of I) where he was a full professor until he retired in 2017.
He had a distinguished career at U of I, contributing both to mathematics, particularly in representation theory, and to initiatives aimed at increasing diversity in graduate mathematics programs. His work in promoting inclusivity in mathematics earned him considerable recognition, complementing his research achievements. [4]
In 1980, Kutzko proved the local Langlands conjectures for the general linear group GL2(K) over local fields. [5] In 2014, he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to representations of p-adic groups and the local Langlands program, as well as for recruitment and mentoring of under-represented minority students." [6]
In 1986 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley with a talk "On the supercuspidal representations of GL2". [7]
His research has had a profound influence on representation theory, particularly through his work on the representation theory of p-adic groups. [8]
Robert Phelan Langlands, is a Canadian mathematician. He is best known as the founder of the Langlands program, a vast web of conjectures and results connecting representation theory and automorphic forms to the study of Galois groups in number theory, for which he received the 2018 Abel Prize. He is emeritus professor and occupied Albert Einstein's office at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, until 2020 when he retired.
In mathematics, the Langlands program is a web of far-reaching and consequential conjectures about connections between number theory and geometry. Proposed by Robert Langlands, it seeks to relate Galois groups in algebraic number theory to automorphic forms and representation theory of algebraic groups over local fields and adeles. Widely seen as the single biggest project in modern mathematical research, the Langlands program has been described by Edward Frenkel as "a kind of grand unified theory of mathematics."
Richard Lawrence Taylor is a British mathematician working in the field of number theory. He is currently the Barbara Kimball Browning Professor in Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University.
In mathematics, the local Langlands conjectures, introduced by Robert Langlands, are part of the Langlands program. They describe a correspondence between the complex representations of a reductive algebraic group G over a local field F, and representations of the Langlands group of F into the L-group of G. This correspondence is not a bijection in general. The conjectures can be thought of as a generalization of local class field theory from abelian Galois groups to non-abelian Galois groups.
