Victor Snaith

Victor Percy Snaith (* 1944 ) is a British mathematician who studies algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, algebraic K-theory, number theory, and group representation theory.

Snaith received her PhD in 1969 from the University of Warwick with Luke Hodgkin (Topics in K-Theory). He taught at the University of Cambridge , the University of Western Ontario , the University of Southampton , McMaster University and most recently until his retirement at the University of Sheffield .

In the mid-1980s he applied methods of algebraic topology (stable homotopy theory) in order to prove a result of the representation theory of groups ( Richard Brauer's induction theorem) (Explicit Brauer Induction). Snaith also applied algebraic K-theory in algebraic geometry.

He is the father of Nina Snaith and Daniel Snaith ( Caribou (musician) ).
