Fred Diamond

Fred Irwin Diamond (born November 19, 1964 ) is an American mathematician . His research focus is on modular forms and Galois representations .

Diamond studied at the University of Michigan (bachelor's degree 1983) and received his doctorate in 1988 with Andrew Wiles at Princeton University (On congruence modules associated to -adic forms). He was a post-graduate student at Ohio State University . From 1990 to 1994 he was Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University , from 1994 to 1996 he conducted research at Cambridge University and from 1996/97 he was a lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 1997 he became an associate professor at Rutgers University and in 1999 at the ${\ displaystyle \ Lambda}$ Brandeis University , where he became a professor in 2002. He is a professor at King's College London .

He was visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study (1994, 1995), Harvard, MIT and the University of Paris VII and University of Paris-South .

Diamond worked with Christophe Breuil , Brian Conrad, and Richard Taylor to prove the full Taniyama-Shimura conjecture , thus generalizing the work of Andrew Wiles and Richard Taylor, which was sufficient to prove Fermat's Last Theorem .

From 1999 he was editor of Manuscripta Mathematica.
