Christophe Soulé (* 1951 ) is a French mathematician who deals with arithmetic-algebraic geometry and number theory, among other things.

Christophe Soulé, Oberwolfach 2005

From 1970 Soulé studied at the École normal supérieure . From 1974 he was a scientist (Attaché de Recherche) at the CNRS under Roger Godement and received his doctorate in 1978 at the University of Paris under Max Karoubi (and Roger Godement) on the theory of the ring of integers in number fields and etale cohomology. In 1980 he was Chargé de Recherche at the CNRS and from 1986 Directeur de Recherches. From 1984 he was a visiting scientist at IHES . In 1989 he was visiting professor at Harvard University and in 1998 at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge.

Soulé dealt with arithmetic groups, theory and Arakelov geometry in arithmetic-algebraic geometry, where he worked with Jean-Michel Bismut and Henri Gillet and proved a Riemann-Roch theorem.

In 1979 he received the bronze medal of the CNRS. He has been a corresponding member of the French Academy of Sciences ( Académie des sciences ) since 1997 and a member since 2001 . In 1983 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw ( K-théorie et zeros aux points entiers de fonctions zeta ). In 1985 he received the Prix J. Ponti of the French Academy of Sciences and in 1993 the Prix ​​Ampère .

Bruno Kahn is one of his doctoral students.
