Dennis Gaitsgory (born 17 November 1973) is an Israeli-American mathematician. He is a mathematician at Max Planck Institute for Mathematics (MPIM) at Bonn and is known for his research on the geometric Langlands program.
Life and career
[edit]Born in Chișinău (now in Moldova) he grew up in Tajikistan, before studying at Tel Aviv University under Joseph Bernstein (1990–1996). He received his doctorate in 1997 for a thesis entitled "Automorphic Sheaves and Eisenstein Series". He has been awarded a Harvard Junior Fellowship, a Clay Research Fellowship, and the prize of the European Mathematical Society for his work.
His work in geometric Langlands culminated in a joint 2002 paper with Edward Frenkel and Kari Vilonen,[1] establishing the conjecture for finite fields, and a separate 2004 paper,[2] generalizing the proof to include the field of complex numbers as well.
Prior to his current appointment at MPIM Bonn, he was a professor of mathematics at Harvard and an associate professor at the University of Chicago from 2001–2005.
Honors and awards
[edit]In 2025, he received the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.[3]
Personal life
[edit]Gaitsgory's father, Vladimir Gaitsgory, is an applied mathematician at Macquarie University.[4][5]
