from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Edward Kottwitz (* 1950 in Lynn (Massachusetts) ) is an American mathematician.

Kottwitz studied at the University of Washington (bachelor's degree) and at Harvard University with Phillip Griffiths and John T. Tate , where he received his doctorate in 1977 (Orbital Integrals on ). In 1976 he became an assistant professor and later professor at the University of Washington, and in 1989 he went to the University of Chicago as a professor .

He was at the Institute for Advanced Study several times (for example 1976/77).

Kottwitz deals with the Langlands program , including harmonic analysis on p-adic and Lie groups and automorphic forms for the general linear group and Shimura varieties.

He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2010) and the American Mathematical Society (AMS). He was invited speaker at the International Mathematicians Congress in Berlin 1998 (Harmonic analysis on semisimple p-adic Lie Algebras).
