Clifford Taubes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clifford Henry Taubes is a professor of mathematics at Harvard who works in gauge field theory and differential geometry. His work on the boundary of the moduli space of solutions to the Yang-Mills equations was used by Donaldson in his proof of Donaldson's theorem. He proved that R4 has an uncountable number of smooth structures (see also exotic R4), and (with Raoul Bott) proved Witten's rigidity theorem.
He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1996.
