Péter Varjú

Péter Varjú (* 1982 in Szeged ) is a Hungarian mathematician who deals with harmonic analysis and ergodic theory.

Varju studied at the University of Szeged and at Princeton University , where he received his doctorate in 2011 with Jean Bourgain (random walks and spectral gaps in linear groups). He is currently at Cambridge University.

He studied the construction of expander graphs with methods of number theory ( arithmetic groups ) and questions of the equal distribution of random walks in arithmetic groups (with Jean Bourgain ) and in Euclidean isometries (partly with Elon Lindenstrauss ).

In 2016 he received the EMS Prize and in 2018 the Whitehead Prize . He was a Fulbright Fellow.
