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]
Life
Peter Scholze was born in Dresden.[3] He attended Heinrich-Hertz-Gymnasium in Berlin-Friedrichshain, a gymnasium with a mathematical/natural-scientific profile.[4] As a student, he participated in the International Mathematics Olympiad, winning three gold medals and one silver medal.[5]
He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Bonn in 2012 under the supervision of Michael Rapoport.[6]
Work
He became known as a mathematician after finishing his Bachelor's degree in three semesters and his Master's degree in two further semesters. Scholze's subsequent PhD-thesis on perfectoid spaces[7] yields the solution to a special case of the weight-monodromy conjecture.[8]
He was made full professor in 2012, shortly after completing his PhD, becoming the youngest full professor in Germany, at the age of 24.[9][10][11][12]
Awards and honours
Since July 2011, Scholze is a 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 also the Ostrowski Prize.[16] He declined the "New Horizons in Mathematics Prize" of the Breakthrough Prizes 2016.[17] He received the Fermat Prize 2015 from the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse.[18] In December 2015 he was awarded a Leibniz Prize 2016 by the German Research Foundation, Germany's most prestigious research prize.[19]
