Michael Jeffrey Larsen is an American mathematician , a distinguished professor of mathematics at Indiana University Bloomington .[1] [2]
Academic biography [ edit ]
In high school, Larsen tied with four other competitors for the top score in the 1977 International Mathematical Olympiad in Belgrade , winning a gold medal.[3] [4] As an undergraduate mathematics student at Harvard University , Larsen became a Putnam Fellow in 1981 and 1983.[5] He graduated from Harvard in 1984,[6] and earned his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1988, under the supervision of Gerd Faltings .[7] After working at the Institute for Advanced Study he joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania in 1990, and then moved to the University of Missouri in 1997.[6] He joined the Indiana University faculty in 2001.[1]
His wife Ayelet Lindenstrauss is also a mathematician and Indiana University professor.[8] Their son Daniel at age 13 became the youngest person to publish a crossword in the New York Times .[9]
Research [ edit ]
Larsen is known for his research in arithmetic algebraic geometry , combinatorial group theory , combinatorics , and number theory .[1] [2] He has written highly cited papers on domino tiling of Aztec diamonds , topological quantum computing ,[11] [12] and on the representation theory of braid groups .
Awards and honors [ edit ]
In 2013 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society , for "contributions to group theory, number theory, topology, and algebraic geometry".[14]
He received the E. H. Moore Research Article Prize of the AMS in 2013 (jointly with Richard Pink).
