Dennis Gaitsgory

Dennis Gaitsgory (* in Moldova ) is an Israeli-American mathematician who deals with geometric representation theory (for example the so-called geometric Langlands program ).

Gaitsgory was born in what is now the Republic of Moldova and grew up in Tajikistan . From 1990 he studied at Tel Aviv University , where he received his doctorate under Joseph Bernstein in 1997 (Automorphic Sheaves and Eisenstein Series). In 1996/1997 and 1998/99 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . From 2001 he was Associate Professor at the University of Chicago and from 2005 Professor at Harvard University , where he was also a Junior Fellow in 1997.

He is known for his work in the geometric Langlands program. With Edward Frenkel and Kari Vilonen he proved the geometric Langlands conjecture for curves over finite fields in 2000 , extended in 2002 to the case of curves over complex numbers ( field of characteristic 0)

From 2002 to 2004 he was a Clay Research Fellow. In 2000 he won the EMS Prize . In 2002 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing (Geometric Langlands correspondence for ). Gaitsgory was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2020 . ${\displaystyle GL_{n}}$
