Description

John Tate from University of Texas at Austin receives the Abel Prize 2010 from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters "for his vast and lasting impact on the theory of numbers." The purpose of this symposium is to celebrate John Tate and his mathematical achievements. Beginning with his groundbreaking 1950 thesis he is responsible for an astounding number of fundamental mathematical notions and results, centering around the areas of algebraic number theory and arithmetic algebraic geometry, such as Tate cohomology, the Tate duality theorem, Barsotti-Tate groups, the Tate motive, the Tate module, Tate’s algorithm, Lubin-Tate formal groups, rigid analytic spaces, the Néron-Tate height, Mumford-Tate groups, the Hodge-Tate decomposition, the Tate isogeny theorem, the Honda-Tate theorem, Serre-Tate deformation theory, Tate-Shafarevich groups, the Tate conjecture, Tate resolutions and the Sato-Tate conjecture.
