Hugh Lowell Montgomery (born 1944) is anAmerican mathematician, working in the fields ofanalytic number theory andmathematical analysis. He is the namesake ofMontgomery's pair correlation conjecture on thezeros of the Riemann zeta function, is known for his development oflarge sieve methods, and is the author of multiple books on number theory and analysis.^[1] He is aprofessor emeritus at theUniversity of Michigan.

Montgomery was born on August 26, 1944, inMuncie, Indiana.^[2]He was an undergraduate at theUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. On graduating in 1966, he became aMarshall scholar at theUniversity of Cambridge in England. There, he became a Fellow ofTrinity College, Cambridge in 1969, and completed his Ph.D. in 1972.^[1] His dissertation,Topics in Multiplicative Number Theory, was supervised byHarold Davenport.^[3]

He became an assistant professor of mathematics at theUniversity of Michigan in 1972. He was quickly promoted, to associate professor in 1973 and full professor in 1975.^[1] At the University of Michigan, he advised 19 doctoral students, includingSidney Graham in 1977,Brian Conrey in 1980, andRussell Lyons in 1983.^[3] He retired as aprofessor emeritus in 2020.^[1]

Montgomery was a 1972 recipient of theAdams Prize,^[4] and the 1974 recipient of theSalem Prize.^[5]

In 1974, Montgomery was an invited speaker of theInternational Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Vancouver.^[6] In 2012, he became a fellow of theAmerican Mathematical Society.^[7]
