Henri Darmon

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henri Darmon (born October 22, 1965 in Paris ) is a Canadian mathematician who deals with number theory.

Darmon studied computer science and mathematics at McGill University (Bachelor 1987) and received his doctorate under Benedict Gross at Harvard University in 1991 ( Refined class number formulas for derivatives of L-Series ). After three years at Princeton University as an instructor and finally as an assistant professor, he became an assistant professor at McGill University in 1994. In 1997 he became an Associate Professor there, in 2000 Professor and in 2005 James McGill Professor . Since 1998 he has been director of the CICMA (Center Interuniversitaire en Calcul Mathématique Algébrique). and since 1999 member of the Center de Recherches Mathématiques (CRM). Among other things, he was visiting professor at the University of Paris VI , the ETH Zurich , the University of Pavia , the University of Barcelona , the Korean Institute for Advanced Study and the Saga University in Japan and visiting scholar at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES), among others Harish Chandra Institute in Allahabad , the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley and the Institut Henri Poincaré .

Darmon deals with algebraic number theory and number theory on elliptic curves, especially with the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (also in p-adic version), the analytical construction of class fields (12th problem by Hilbert) and in the context of the Fermat conjecture .

From 1996 to 1998 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 1998 he received the Coxeter James Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society, in 1996 the G. de B. Robinson Award , 1997 the Prix ​​André Aisenstadt , 2002 the Ribenboim Prize and since 2003 he has been a member of the Royal Society of Canada , whose John L. Synge Award he received in 2008. In 2006 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid ( Heegner points, Stark-Heegner-points and special values ​​of L-Functions ). For 2017 he was awarded the AMS Cole Prize in Number Theory ("for his contributions to the arithmetic of elliptic curves and modular forms"). and awarded the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize .

He has both Canadian, French and Swiss citizenship.
