Alexander Braverman

Alexander Braverman ( born June 8, 1974 in Moscow) is an Israeli mathematician.

Braverman made ​​1993 his bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Tel Aviv, where he earned his doctorate under Joseph Bernstein 1998 ( Kazhdan - Laumon Representations of Finite Chevalley Groups, Character Sheaves and Some Generalization of the Lefschetz - Verdier trace formula). 1997 to 1999 he was Moore Instructor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then to 2004 Assistant Professor and Benjamin Peirce Lecturer at Harvard University. Since 2004 he is an associate professor at Brown University. He was, and as a visiting scientist at the Institute for Advanced Study (1997, 1999), the University of Paris VI and Paris -Nord, the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Weizmann Institute, the Clay Mathematics Institute ( 2003 Clay Mathematics Institute Prize Fellow ) at the IHES in Paris.

Braverman is particularly concerned with the geometric Langlands program of the interface of number theory, algebraic geometry and representation theory, that also has applications in mathematical physics.

In 2006 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid ( Spaces of quasi -maps into the flag varieties and their applications ).
