Peter Scholze (born 11 December 1987) is a German mathematician known for his work in arithmetic algebraic geometry. He is a professor at the University of Bonn[2] and has been called one of the leading mathematicians in the world.[3][4][5]
Life
Peter's father was a physicist and his mother was an electrical engineer. Peter Scholze attended Heinrich-Hertz-Gymnasium in Berlin-Friedrichshain, a gymnasium with a mathematical/natural-scientific profile.[6] As a student, he participated in the International Mathematics Olympiad, winning three gold medals and one silver medal.[7]
He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Bonn in 2012 under the supervision of Michael Rapoport.[1] He had completed his Bachelor's degree in three semesters and his Master's degree in two further semesters.
Work
Scholze's work concentrated on purely local aspects of arithmetic geometry such as p-adic geometry and its applications. He presented in a more compact form some of the previous fundamental theories pioneered by Gerd Faltings, Jean-Marc Fontaine and later by Kiran Kedlaya. His PhD thesis on perfectoid spaces[8] yields the solution to a special case of the weight-monodromy conjecture.[9]
He was made full professor in 2012, shortly after completing his PhD, becoming the youngest full professor in Germany, at the age of 24.[3][10][11][12]
Awards
From July 2011 until 2016, Scholze was a Research Fellow of the Clay Mathematics Institute.[13] In 2012, he was awarded the Prix and Cours Peccot.[14] He was awarded the 2013 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize. In 2014, he received the Clay Research Award. In 2015, he was awarded the Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Algebra,[15] and the Ostrowski Prize.[16]
He received the Fermat Prize 2015 from the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse.[17] He was awarded a Leibniz Prize 2016 by the German Research Foundation.[18] At the same time, he declined the "New Horizons in Mathematics Prize" of the Breakthrough Prizes in 2016.[19]
