Ronald Solomon
Ronald "Ron" Solomon (born December 15, 1948 in New York City ) is an American mathematician who deals with finite groups.
Solomon studied at Queens College and received his PhD from Yale University in 1971 with Walter Feit ( Finite Groups with Sylow 2-Subgroups of the Type of the Alternating Group on Twelve Letters ). From 1972 he began to participate in the classification program of finite simple groups after hearing a lecture by Daniel Gorenstein . He was a Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago for two years and at Rutgers University in 1974/75 before becoming a professor at Ohio State University , where he has been teaching ever since. In 2006 he received the Levi L. Conant Prize .
With Gorenstein and Richard Lyons he wrote a multi-volume series on the classification program of finite simple groups as part of a project to check the evidence (GLS project). For The Classification of finite simple groups: groups of characteristic 2 type (AMS, 2011) he received the Leroy P. Steele Prize in 2012 with Lyons, Aschbacher and Stephen D. Smith . In 1997 he received the Ohio State University's Distinguished Teaching Award. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
