Otmar Venjakob

Otmar Venjakob, Oberwolfach 2009

Otmar Venjakob (* 1969 ) is a German mathematician who deals with arithmetic algebraic geometry and number theory.

Venjakob received his doctorate in 2000 from the University of Heidelberg under Kay Wingberg and John Coates (Iwasawa-Theory of p-adic Lie extensions). In 2005 he became professor at the University of Bonn and from 2006 professor in Heidelberg.

Venjakob made significant contributions to the non-commutative Iwasawa theory .

In 2004 he received the EMS Prize (lecture: From classical to non-commutative Iwasawa Theory: an introduction to the Main Conjecture ${\displaystyle GL_{2}}$ ). In 2005 he received the von Kaven Prize from the German Research Foundation and the Kaven Foundation.

From 2017 to 2020 he is managing editor of Documenta Mathematica with Stefan Teufel and Henning Krause .
