Harald Grobner

Harald Grobner (born 4 December 1980 in Neunkirchen, Austria) is an Austrian mathematician at the Faculty of Mathematics,[1] University of Vienna. His research focuses on questions of algebra and number theory within the Langlands program.[2]

Career and research

Grobner studied mathematics, philosophy and classical philology at the University of Vienna, where he graduated in 2005. From 2005 to 2007 he studied for his doctorate in mathematics at the Université Paris VI and the University of Vienna, with Joachim Schwermer as his supervisor.[3]

Grobner undertook research at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematical Physics in Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and the Faculty for Mathematics at the University of Vienna, before receiving the Schrödinger Grant of the FWF. From 2010 until 2013 he was a guest researcher at the Oklahoma State University, the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and the Institut mathématiques de Jussieu in Paris. He was habilitated by the University of Vienna for his research on automorphic cohomology and the rationality of special L-values in 2014.[4]

In August 2016, Grobner became a permanent member of staff at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna.[5] Since October 2016 he has led the international research programme "Special L-vaues and p-adic L-functions" and, since 2019, the additional research project "Automorphic models and L-values for global algebras", both funded by the Austrian Science Fund.[6]

Since fall 2018, Grobner has also been one of the organisers of the research seminar "Representation theory and Automorphic forms" (formerly called "Number Theory Seminar"), which hosts leading international experts in number theory and the Langlands program for research talks at the University of Vienna[7].

Personal life

Harald Grobner lives in Vienna and is father to a son.[8] In August 2020 Grobner announced the birth of his daughter.

Awards
  • Awarded Promotion sub auspiciis praesidentis rei publicae in 2008 by the Austrian president, Heinz Fischer[9]
  • Winner of the 2008 "Würdigungspreis" from the Austrian Ministry for Science and Research[10]
  • In 2016 he was awarded the START prize by the FWF.[11] His strongly international focused mathematical research programme is focused on algebraic and number theory related questions within the Langlands program
gollark: It's also very hard to empirically test anything in politics, not that people want to anyway.
gollark: The world is annoyingly complicated, so trying to start from a set of known premises and use formal logic to get results isn't very workable, plus there's Hume's guillotine.
gollark: <@772143922679644231> Nothing in politics is ever very "logical".
gollark: Opinions on AI-generated art (politics)?
gollark: Anything he has ever said, obviously.
