German mathematician (born 1987)
Peter Scholze (German pronunciation: [ˈpeːtɐ ⓘ [ 2] arithmetic geometry . He has been a professor in theUniversity of Bonn since 2012 and co-director at theMax Planck Institute for Mathematics since 2018. He has been called one of the leading mathematicians in the world.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] Fields Medal , an award regarded as the highest professional honor in mathematics.[ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
Early life and education [ edit ] Scholze was born inDresden and grew up inBerlin .[ 10] physicist , his mother acomputer scientist , and his sister studiedchemistry .[ 11] Heinrich-Hertz-Gymnasium [de ] inBerlin-Friedrichshain , agymnasium devoted to mathematics and science.[ 12] International Mathematical Olympiad , winning three gold medals and one silver medal.[ 13]
He studied at theUniversity of Bonn and completed hisbachelor's degree in three semesters and his master's degree in two further semesters.[ 14] Michael Rapoport .[ 1]
Scholze was a student of Rapoport, who was a student ofDeligne , who was a student ofGrothendieck , who was a student ofSchwartz ; in this chain, Scholze, Deligne, Grothendieck, and Schwartz are all Fields medallists.
From July 2011 until 2016, Scholze was a Research Fellow of theClay Mathematics Institute in New Hampshire.[ 15] full professor in the University of Bonn, becoming at the age of 24 the youngest full professor in Germany.[ 3] [ 14] [ 16] [ 17]
In fall 2014, Scholze was appointed as Chancellor's Professor in theUniversity of California, Berkeley , where he taught a course onp -adic geometry[ 18] [ 19]
In 2018, Scholze was appointed as a director of theMax Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn.[ 20]
Peter Scholze's works focuses on local aspects ofp -adic algebraic geometry. He presented in a more compact form some of the previous fundamental theories pioneered byGerd Faltings ,Jean-Marc Fontaine and later byKiran Kedlaya . HisPhD thesis onperfectoid spaces [ 21] weight-monodromy conjecture .[ 22]
Scholze andBhargav Bhatt have developed a theory ofprismatic cohomology , which has been described as progress towardsmotivic cohomology by unifyingsingular cohomology ,de Rham cohomology ,ℓ-adic cohomology , andcrystalline cohomology .[ 23] [ 24]
Scholze and Dustin Clausen proposed a program forcondensed mathematics .
In 2012, he was awarded the Prix and Cours Peccot.[ 25] SASTRA Ramanujan Prize .[ 26] Clay Research Award .[ 27] Cole Prize in Algebra,[ 28] Ostrowski Prize .[ 29] [ 30]
He received theFermat Prize 2015 from the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse.[ 31] Leibniz Prize 2016 by theGerman Research Foundation .[ 32] Breakthrough Prizes .[ 33] [ 34] [ 35]
In 2017 he became a member of theGerman Academy of Sciences Leopoldina .[ 36]
In 2018, at thirty years old, Scholze, who was at the time serving as a mathematics professor in the University of Bonn, became one of the youngest mathematicians ever to be awarded theFields Medal [ 37] [ 38] algebraic geometry overp -adicperfectoid spaces , with application toGalois representations , and for the development of newcohomology theories".[ 39]
In 2019, Scholze received the Great Cross of Merit of theOrder of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany .[ 40] [ 41] [ 42]
In 2022 he became a foreign member of theRoyal Society [ 43] Pius XI Medal from thePontifical Academy of Sciences .[ 44]
Scholze is married to a fellow mathematician[ 45] [ 46]
