Andrew Neitzke is an American mathematician and theoretical physicist, at Yale University. [1] He works in mathematical physics, mainly in geometric problems arising from physics, particularly from supersymmetric quantum field theory. [2]
In 1893 he was awarded a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Yale University. For fifteen years, beginning in 1895, he was professor of mathematics at Yale, and was awarded a Ph.D. in mathematics from that institution in 1897 under James Pierpont. His dissertation was titled, "Referat on the Origin and Development of the Addition-Theorem in ...
Igor Borisovich Frenkel (Russian: Игорь Борисович Френкель; born April 22, 1952) is a Russian-American mathematician at Yale University working in representation theory and mathematical physics. Frenkel emigrated to the United States in 1979.
Jeffrey Brock's research focuses on low-dimensional topology and geometry, particularly on spaces with hyperbolic geometry or negative curvature. His joint work with Richard Canary and Yair Minsky resulted in a solution [8] to the "Ending Lamination Conjecture" of William Thurston, culminating in the geometric classification theorem for (topologically finite) hyperbolic 3-manifolds in terms of ...
Hee Oh was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad in 2010, and gave a joint invited address at the 2012 AMS-MAA Joint Mathematics Meeting. [6] In 2012 she became an inaugural fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [7] She is the 2015 recipient of the Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics. [8]
Daniel Alan Spielman (born March 1970 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania [7]) has been a professor of applied mathematics and computer science at Yale University since 2006. As of 2018, he is the Sterling Professor of Computer Science at Yale. He is also the Co-Director of the Yale Institute for Network Science, since its founding, and chair of the ...
Casson has worked in both high-dimensional manifold topology and 3- and 4-dimensional topology, using both geometric and algebraic techniques.Among other discoveries, he contributed to the disproof of the manifold Hauptvermutung, introduced the Casson invariant, a modern invariant for 3-manifolds, and Casson handles, used in Michael Freedman's proof of the 4-dimensional Poincaré conjecture.
Reed first attended Yale University, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree. In 1969 he earned a PhD from Stanford University. Since 1977 he has taught at Duke University, where he is the Bishop-MacDermott Professor of Mathematics.
