Kari Vilonen
Kari Kaleva Vilonen (* 1955 ) is a Finnish mathematician who specializes in geometric representation theory.
Vilonen took part in the International Mathematical Olympiad as a student and received the bronze medal in 1973/74. He received his PhD from Brown University in 1983 with Robert MacPherson ( The Intersection Homology D-module on Hypersurfaces with Isolated Singularities ). He is a professor at Northwestern University .
With Dennis Gaitsgory and Edward Frenkel , he proved the geometric Langlands conjecture for curves over finite bodies .
In 1997 he was a Guggenheim Fellow . In 1998 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin ( Topological methods in representation theory ). In 2004 he became a member of the Finnish Academy of Sciences .
