He received his PhD degree from the University of Cambridge in 1978. His thesis advisor was Alan Baker, in the area of transcendental number theory.[1][2]

He taught at Princeton University, Columbia University, Harvard University and Ohio State University, where he is now a Professor. He also worked with David Kazhdan[3] and Pierre Deligne.[1][4]

Education

Born 1955 in Kfar-Saba, raised in Ramat-Gan, Flicker studied Mathematics and Philosophy at Tel-Aviv University gaining a BA in 1973, then he studied Mathematics at the Hebrew University gaining an MA in 1974. After that he studied Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at DPMMS, Cambridge University in 1974-75, where he was awarded his PhD under the supervision of Fields Medalist Alan Baker in 1978. His dissertation was "Linear forms on Abelian Varieties over Local Fields". He was a Post Doctoral scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study Princeton 1978-79, at Columbia University 1979-81, at Princeton University 1981-85, and at Harvard University 1985-87. He worked as a Professor of Mathematics at the Ohio State University from 1987 to 2015.

Research

Flicker's research interests include Automorphic and Admissible Representations, Automorphic forms over function fields, Arithmetic Geometry, Lifting of Representations, Hecke-Iwahori algebras, p-adic automorphic forms, Galois Cohomology, Local-Global Principles, Motives, Algebraic Groups, Covering Groups, Shimura Varieties. He coauthored works with David Kazhdan,[3] Pierre Deligne,[4] his students[5] and other scholars.[6] He acknowledges influence of Joseph Bernstein[7] and of Vladimir Drinfeld.[8] He is the author of several books.

gollark: But not "modular" in the sense people were hyped about where the phone would be a bunch of modules you could swap out.
gollark: Those are "modular" in the sense that you can swap parts, at least, which is nice.
gollark: I'm aware, those aren't "modular" in the common sense.
gollark: Modular phones are also really hard.
gollark: ... nobody is enforcing that, some things are just hard and/or undesired.
