Christophe Breuil

Christophe Breuil is a French mathematician who studies algebraic geometry and number theory.

Breuil attended school in Brive-la-Gaillarde and Toulouse and studied after military service from 1990 to 1992 at the École polytechnique . In 1993 he obtained his DEA degree (which corresponds to the diploma) at the University of Paris-South . From 1993 to 1996 he conducted research at the École Polytechnique and also taught at the University of Paris-South. At the beginning of 1996 he received his doctorate at the École Polytechnique under Jean-Marc Fontaine with the dissertation Cohomologie log-cristalline et représentations galoisiennes -adiques ${\displaystyle p}$ and became a scientist at the CNRS , located at the University of Paris-South in Orsay, where he studied Aspects entiers de la théorie de Hodge -adique et applications ${\displaystyle p}$ . In 1997 he held the Cours Peccot at the Collège de France . From 2002 he was at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) and became director of research at the CNRS. In 2007/08 he was visiting professor at Columbia University .

In 1993 he received the Prix Gaston Julia of the École Polytechnique. In 2002 he received the Grand Prix Jacques Herbrand of the French Academy of Sciences and in 2006 the Prix Dargelos of the Anciens Élèves of the École Polytechnique.

With Fred Diamond , Richard Taylor and Brian Conrad , he proved the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture in 1999 , which Andrew Wiles and Taylor had previously only proven in a special case. Then he worked on -adic Langlands conjectures. ${\displaystyle p}$

In 2010 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad ( The emerging p-adic Langlands Program ).
