Laurent Clozel

Laurent Clozel (born October 23, 1953 in Gap) is a French mathematician. His mathematical work is in the area of automorphic forms, including major advances on the Langlands programme

Career and distinctions

Clozel was a student at the École normale supérieure and later obtained a Ph.D. under Michel Duflo[1] He is currently a full professor at the Université Paris-Sud in Orsay.

He received the Prix Élie Cartan of the French Academy for his work on base change for automorphic forms. He was an invited speaker at the 1986 International congress of mathematicians in Berkeley , talking about "Base change for GL(n)".

Together with Richard Taylor, Nicholas Shepherd-Barron and Michael Harris he proved the Sato–Tate conjecture.[2]

gollark: Surprisingly, yes.
gollark: COBOL is like Java, but not actually similarly designed and significantly worse.
gollark: *Why* are you *learning* COBOL?
gollark: *Somehow* VS Code has a plugin.
