Joel Feldman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joel Shalom Feldman (born June 14, 1949 in Ottawa ) is a Canadian mathematical physicist and mathematician.

Feldman studied mathematics and physics at the University of Toronto with a bachelor's degree in 1970 and at Harvard University , where he completed his master's degree in 1971 and received his doctorate from Arthur Jaffe in 1974 ( The field theory in a finite volume ) Harvard (then about Constructive Quantum Field Theory) and was Moore Instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1975 to 1977 . In 1977 he became Assistant Professor, 1982 Associate Professor and 1987 Professor at the University of British Columbia .

He received the John L. Synge Award in 1996, the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize in 2007, the CAP-CRM Prize in 2007 and the Jeffery-Williams Prize in 2004. From 1989 to 1991 he was a Killam Fellow and he was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow. From 2007 he was a Fellow at the Fields Institute .

He deals with constructive quantum field theory (partly with Vincent Rivasseau , Konrad Osterwalder , Manfred Salmhofer ), the mathematical theory of Fermi liquids (e.g. Fermi surfaces, superconductor junction, strict construction of Fermi liquids in two dimensions at temperature zero in a long series of Working with Knörrer, Trubowitz) and bose liquids in mathematical quantum mechanical many-body theory, Riemann surfaces with infinitely higher sex (with Horst Knörrer , Eugene Trubowitz ). With Gunther Uhlmann he is writing a book about inverse problems.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1990). In 1990 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto ( Introduction to constructive quantum field theory ). He was invited speaker at the 14th International Congress for Mathematical Physics ( Construction of a 2 dimensional Fermi Liquid with Knörrer, Trubowitz) in Lisbon 2003 and gave a plenary lecture at the 12th Congress in Brisbane 1997 ( Renormalization of the Fermi surface , with Salmhofer , Trubowitz).

From 2005 to 2010 he was editor of the Journal of Mathematical Physics. Since 1999 he has been co-editor of the Annales de l´Institut Henri Poincaré.

Gordon Slade is one of his PhD students .
