Robert F. Coleman

Robert Frederick Coleman ( born November 22, 1954 in Glen Cove, Long Iceland, New York, † March 24, 2014 ) was an American mathematician who dealt with number theory (p- adic analysis, arithmetic geometry, modular forms ).

Coleman won as a student in the Intel Science Talent Search (1972). He studied at Harvard University (Bachelor 1976) and the University of Cambridge (with John Coates ) and in 1979 received his doctorate from Princeton University in Kenkichi Iwasawa ( Division values ​​in local fields ). As a post - graduate student he was at Harvard, where he was a professor at Benjamin Pierce Lecturer and Assistant. In 1983 he became Assistant Professor in 1988 and Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

In 1985 he was a visiting professor at Harvard and Grenoble, 1988 at the Hebrew University and in 1982 at the University of Paris-Sud.

Coleman developed a p- adic integration theory and arithmetic applications such as the study of Torsionspunkte of curves.

1985 to 1987 he was a student of the Sloan Fellow program and in 1987 a fellow of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
