Jeremy Kahn
Jeremy Adam Kahn (* 1970 ) is an American mathematician. He deals with hyperbolic geometry , Riemann surfaces and complex dynamics .
Kahn grew up in New York City . He graduated from Harvard University mathematics and in 1995 at the University of California, Berkeley in Curtis McMullen doctorate (holomorphic removability of Quadratic Polynomial Julia sets). He was a post-doctoral student at the University of Toronto . He was an Assistant Professor at Caltech and the State University of New York at Stony Brook . He then worked for an investment company (Highbridge Capital Management) as an analyst in financial mathematics for a year . He has been a professor at Brown University since 2011 .
In 2012 he and Vladimir Markovic received the Clay Research Award for work in hyperbolic geometry : their proof that closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds have an immersed almost geodetic surface and their proof of the honorary award presumption . This means that for two compact hyperbolic Riemannian surfaces there exist finite superpositions which are arbitrarily close with regard to the Teichmüller metric .
In 1988, he was a Putnam Fellow after participating in the Putnam Competition at Harvard University . In 2014 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Seoul ( The surface subgroup and the Ehrenpreis Conjectures ).
