David Harbater
David Harbater (born December 19, 1952 in New York City ) is an American mathematician who studied algebra and algebraic geometry.
Life
Harbater attended Stuyvesant High School in New York, where he already attended summer courses at US universities. From 1970 he studied at Harvard University . One of his fellow students was Richard Stallman . In 1974 he received his bachelor's degree "summa cum laude" from Harvard and in 1975 his master's degree from Brandeis University . In 1978 he received his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with Michael Artin ( Deformation Theory and the Fundamental Group in Algebraic Geometry ). He is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania .
From 1984 to 1987 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 1995 he received the Cole Prize in Algebra for his solution to Abhyankar's conjecture with Michel Raynaud . He deals with Galois theory in algebraic geometry, arithmetic-algebraic geometry and inverse Galois theory and was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in 1994 ( Fundamental Groups of Curves in Characteristic ). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
