Elon lindenstrauss biography of albert
•
| Prof. Lindenstrauss earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics, and a master’s degree and Ph.D. in mathematics, all at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He won the Fields Medal in Mathematics, regarded as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in that field, for his achievements in the area of measure rigidity in ergodic theory and their applications to number theory. Prof. Lindenstrauss has made far-reaching advances in ergodic theory, the study of measure preserving | |
| transformations. His work on a conjecture of Furstenberg and Margulis concerning the measure rigidity of higher rank diagonal actions in homogeneous spaces has led to striking applications. Specifically, jointly with Einsiedler and Katok, he established the conjecture under a further hypothesis of positive entropy. It has impressive applications to the classical Littlewood Conjecture in the theory of diophantine approximation.

Irit Dveer Dinur (theoretical computer science), Elon Lindenstrauss (dynamical systems), and Aaron Naber (geometric analysis) will begin their Institute appointments this summer. Considered one of the top honors in academia, IAS Faculty appointments are reserved for the world’s foremost leaders in their respective fields. “The storied place of the Institute for Advanced Study in the history of modern mathematics is built on the distinctive quality of the faculty it has been able to attract since its founding,” stated David Nirenberg, IAS Director and Leon Levy Professor. “The recruitment of each of these three deeply creative scholars to the Faculty of the School of Mathematics continues that tradition, and promises another generation of remarkable discovery. | |
