Marc N. Levine (born July 29, 1952 in Detroit , Michigan ) is an American mathematician .

Levine studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Bachelor 1974) and received his PhD in 1979 from Brandeis University with Teruhisa Matsusaka. From 1979 he was Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and from 1984 in Boston at Northeastern University , where he was Associate Professor since 1986 and Professor since 1988. He has been visiting professor several times at the University of Duisburg-Essen , where he worked with Hélène Esnault . He has been an Alexander von Humboldt Professor there since 2009 . He was also a visiting scientist at MSRI (1986, 1990), at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn (1983, 1987), at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (1988), at the University of Washington , at Caltech , the University of Paris VI and at the Institut Henri Poincaré .

Levine deals with algebraic geometry , in particular in the development of analogues of topological concepts in algebraic geometry and the theory of motifs ( motivic cohomology , motivic homotopy theory , algebraic K-theory ) and developed with Fabien Morel the theory of algebraic cobordism , an analogue in algebraic geometry to complex cobordism theory in algebraic topology . In 2002 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Beijing (Algebraic Cobordism).

In 2001 he received the Wolfgang Paul Prize of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and in 2006 the Humboldt Research Prize. In 2010 he received a Humboldt Professorship . In 2013 he was elected to the Leopoldina . In 2018 Levine received the London Mathematical Society's Senior Berwick Prize .
