Daniel Kálmán Biss (born August 27, 1977 in Akron , Ohio ) is an American mathematician and politician .

Life

Daniel Biss went to school in Bloomington , Indiana , studied at Harvard University ( bachelor's degree summa cum laude , for undergraduate research he received the Morgan Prize) and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where he studied with Michael J. Hopkins in 2002 Topology (The homotopy type of the Matroid Grassmannian). From 2002 to 2007 he was a Clay Research Fellow and in 2003 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . He was an assistant professor at the University of Chicago . He then went into politics and sat in the House of Representatives from 2011 to 2012 and in the Illinois Senate from 2013 .

His work on matroid manifolds in the Annals of Mathematics was seen as a major breakthrough in 2003. Later other mathematicians (including N. Mnev.) Found a mistake in it. In 2009, Biss published errata on his work in the Annals. Another work in "Topology and its Applications" was withdrawn in 2017 because of further inconsistencies.

For the 2018 Illinois gubernatorial election , he ran for the Democratic Party nomination . In the area code , with a share of the vote of 26%, he only came second behind the victorious political career changer JB Pritzker , who had a good 45%.
