From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Greig Arthur (born May 18, 1944), is a Canadian-born mathematician and former President of the American Mathematical Society. He is currently in the Mathematics Department of the University of Toronto.
A pupil of Langlands, Arthur is known for generalizing the Selberg trace formula from the rank one case (due to Selberg himself) to general reductive groups, one of the most important tools for research on the Langlands program.
