Gérard Laumon (French: [lomɔ̃]; born 1952) is a French mathematician working in number theory and the Langlands program.
Education
[edit]Laumon studied at the École Normale Supérieure and Paris-Sud 11 University, Orsay.[1]
Work
[edit]In 1987, Vladimir Drinfeld and Laumon formulated the geometric Langlands conjecture for general linear groups over a function field .[2]: 46 [3]
In 2008, Laumon and Ngô Bảo Châu proved the fundamental lemma for unitary groups, a component in the Langlands program in number theory.[4][5]
Awards
[edit]He was awarded the Silver Medal of the CNRS in 1987, the E. Dechelle prize of the French Academy of the Sciences in 1992, and the Clay Research Award in 2004.[4] Laumon and Ngô received the Clay Research Award for the proof of the fundamental lemma for unitary groups, a component in the Langlands program in number theory, in 2004.[4]
In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6]
