Ya'acov Peterzil

Ya'acov Peterzil , also Kobi Peterzil , is an Israeli mathematical logician.

Peterzil received his PhD in 1991 under Leo Harrington at the University of California, Berkeley ( Some Definability Questions in Structure over the Reals and In General O-Minimal Structures ). He is a professor at Haifa University .

In 2013 he received the Karp Prize with Sergei Starchenko and others. He deals with model theory and its relationships to algebra ( algebraically closed bodies, real closed bodies , Lie groups, etc.). With Starchenko, he expanded the theory of o-minimal structures (and the Pila-Zannier method based on it) and applied it to number-theoretical and complex-analytic problems.

In 2010 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad (lecture with Starchenko: Tame complex analysis and o-minimality).
