Philipp Habegger (born 23 July 1978) is a Swiss [1] mathematician and a professor of mathematics at the University of Basel who works in Diophantine geometry.
Habegger was born on 23 July 1978. [1] He received his Ph.D. under the supervision of David Masser at the University of Basel in 2007. [2]
From 2008 to 2010, Habegger was a ETH Fellow at ETH Zurich. [1] He moved to the University of Zurich for a lectureship position in 2010. [1] In 2013, he was a von Neumann Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study. [3] As of 2021, Habegger is a professor of mathematics at the University of Basel. [4]
Habegger's research focuses on height functions and their applications to unlikely intersections. [3]

In mathematics, the André–Oort conjecture is a problem in Diophantine geometry, a branch of number theory, that can be seen as a non-abelian analogue of the Manin–Mumford conjecture, which is now a theorem. The conjecture concerns itself with a characterization of the Zariski closure of sets of special points in Shimura varieties. A special case of the conjecture was stated by Yves André in 1989 and a more general statement was conjectured by Frans Oort in 1995. The modern version is a natural generalization of these two conjectures.

In arithmetic geometry, the uniform boundedness conjecture for rational points asserts that for a given number field and a positive integer that there exists a number depending only on and such that for any algebraic curve defined over having genus equal to has at most -rational points. This is a refinement of Faltings's theorem, which asserts that the set of -rational points is necessarily finite.

In mathematics, the Zilber–Pink conjecture is a far-reaching generalisation of many famous Diophantine conjectures and statements, such as André–Oort, Manin–Mumford, and Mordell–Lang. For algebraic tori and semiabelian varieties it was proposed by Boris Zilber and independently by Enrico Bombieri, David Masser, Umberto Zannier in the early 2000's. For semiabelian varieties the conjecture implies the Mordell–Lang and Manin–Mumford conjectures. Richard Pink proposed (again independently) a more general conjecture for Shimura varieties which also implies the André–Oort conjecture. In the case of algebraic tori, Zilber called it the Conjecture on Intersection with Tori (CIT). The general version is now known as the Zilber–Pink conjecture. It states roughly that atypical or unlikely intersections of an algebraic variety with certain special varieties are accounted for by finitely many special varieties.
