Vijaya Kumar Murty FRSC (born 20 May 1956) is an Indo-Canadian mathematician working in number theory.
Murty obtained his BSc in 1977 from Carleton University and his PhD in mathematics in 1982 from Harvard University under John Tate.
He and his brother, M. Ram Murty, have written more than 20 joint papers. [1] In a book edited by Alex Michalos, [2] there is a description of how the Murty brothers learned mathematics in their teens.
Murty received the Coxeter–James Prize in 1991 from the Canadian Mathematical Society. [3] He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1995. [4] In 1996, he, along with his brother, M. Ram Murty, received the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize [5] for the book "Non-vanishing of L-functions and their applications." [6]
In 2018, the Canadian Mathematical Society listed him in their inaugural class of fellows. [7]

The Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize is a prize in mathematics, first awarded in 1993. It honors Spanish mathematician Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer (1912–1967), a self-taught Catalan mathematician who, despite significant physical disability, was very active in research in classical analysis. This award acknowledges an outstanding mathematical monograph of an expository nature, presenting the latest developments in an active area of mathematics research. The annually awarded prize consists of €15,000 as of 2017. The winning monograph is also published in Birkhauser-Verlag's series Progress in Mathematics. It is awarded by the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Foundation.
