Jonathan Lubin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jonathan Darby Lubin (born August 10, 1936 in Staten Island , New York City ) is an American mathematician who studies algebraic geometry and number theory.

Lubin studied at Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in 1957 and at Harvard University with a master's degree in 1958 and a doctorate with John T. Tate in 1963 ( One-Parameter Formal Lie Groups over p-Adic Integer Rings ). As a post-doctoral student , he was an instructor at Bowdoin College and then became an associate professor. In 1967 he became an associate professor and in 1970 professor at Brown University . In 2003 he retired.

The Lubin-Tate theory and formal groups are named after Lubin-Tate after him and his teacher John T. Tate. Lubin and Tate started from a formal analogy to the theory of complex multiplication for elliptic curves and showed that formal group laws over local fields could be used to prove theorems of local class field theory.

In 1968/69 he was visiting professor at the Institut Henri Poincaré and 1974/75 in Copenhagen.
