Stephen Samuel Gelbart (born June 12, 1946 in Syracuse , New York ) is an Israeli-American mathematician who deals with number theory, representation theory and automorphic functions.

Live and act

Gelbart studied at Cornell University (Bachelor in 1967) and at Princeton University (Master in 1968), where he received his doctorate from Elias Stein in 1970 ( Fourier Analysis on Matrix Space , Memoirs AMS), while he was also an instructor at Rutgers University . From 1971 he was Assistant Professor, from 1975 Associate Professor and from 1980 Professor at Cornell University. From 1984 he was a professor at the Weizmann Institute for Science . In 1972/73 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study and was visiting professor several times at the Hebrew University and Tel-Aviv University . He was also visiting professor at Berkeley in 1997 and at Yale University in 2004 .

Gelbart is one of the driving forces in the pursuit of the Langlands program (after Robert Langlands ) about the connections between number theoretic L-functions and automorphic representations.

From 1977 to 1979 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . From 1994 to 1996 he was President of the Israel Mathematical Union .

He is married and has three children.
