Jan Nekovář

Jan Nekovář (* 1963 ) is a Czech mathematician who deals with number theory (arithmetic algebraic geometry).

Nekovář studied at the Charles University in Prague from 1981 and was an exchange student at the Lomonossow University in 1984/85 . After graduating in 1986, he spent a year in the Czechoslovak Army and obtained his doctorate in 1991 at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Prague. As a post-doctoral student , he was a Miller Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 1991 to 1993 . In 1993 he was an assistant professor at Charles University, from 1995 a lecturer at Cambridge University , where he became a reader in 2001 , and from 1995 to 2002 a fellow at Christ's College. From 2002 he was a professor at the University of Paris VI .

He was visiting scholar at the Steklow Institute in Moscow (1988/89), the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics (1989/90) in Bonn, at the Isaac Newton Institute (1998), the École normal supérieure (1991), the University of Minnesota , at the CRM in Barcelona, in Tokyo, Nagoya, Strasbourg, at the Fields Institute and at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematical Physics in Vienna.

In 1998 he received the Whitehead Prize .

In 1992 he was invited speaker at the first European Congress of Mathematicians in Paris (Values of L-functions and p-adic cohomology).
