Phillip Augustus Griffiths IV is an American mathematician, known for his work in the field of geometry, and in particular for the complex manifold approach to algebraic geometry. He was a major developer in particular of the theory of variation of Hodge structure in Hodge theory and moduli theory. He also worked on partial differential equations, coauthored with Shiing-Shen Chern, Robert Bryant and Robert Gardner on Exterior Differential Systems.

In algebra, a nice subgroupH of an abelian p-group G is a subgroup such that pα(G/H) = 〈pαG,H〉/H for all ordinals α. Nice subgroups were introduced by Hill (1967). Knice subgroups are a modification of this introduced by Hill & Megibben (1986).
