Michael Harris (mathematician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Howard Harris (born 1954) is an American mathematician. He made notable contributions to the Langlands program, for which he (alongside Richard Taylor) won the 2007 Clay Research Award.^[1] In particular, he (jointly with Taylor), proved the local Langlands conjecture for GL(n) over a p-adic local field in (Harris & Taylor 2001), and was part of the team that proved the Sato–Tate conjecture.

Harris attained his doctorate from Harvard University in 1977, under supervision of Barry Mazur. His thesis, entitled "On p-Adic Representations Arising from Descent on Abelian Varieties", was later published in Compositio Mathematica.^[2]
