from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freydoon Shahidi (born June 19, 1947 in Tehran ) is an Iranian-American mathematician who deals with representation theory and automorphic forms ( Langlands program ). He is a professor at Purdue University .

Shahidi studied at the University of Tehran with a bachelor's degree in 1969 and received her doctorate in 1975 from Johns Hopkins University under Joseph Shalika (On Gauss Sums Attached to the Pairs and the Exterior Powers of the Representations of the General Linear Groups over Finite and Local Fields) . As a post-doctoral student he was at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1975/76 (also in 1983/84 and 1990/91) and in 1976/77 Visiting Assistant Professor at Indiana University in Bloomington. In 1977 he became Assistant Professor, 1982 Associate Professor and 1986 Professor at Purdue University. He has been a Distinguished Professor there since 2001.

1981/82 he was visiting professor at the University of Toronto , 1990 at the University of Paris VII , 1993 and 1997 as a Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science at the University of Kyoto , at the Catholic University of Eichstätt (1993, 1995) and the École normal supérieure (1995).

A method for the construction of automorphic L-functions is named after him and Robert Langlands .

In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and in 2010 of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences . He was invited speaker at the 2002 International Mathematicians Congress in Beijing (Automorphic L-functions and functoriality). He is on the editorial board of the American Journal of Mathematics .
