Peter Scholze (born 11 December 1987) is a German mathematician known for his work in arithmetic algebraic geometry. He is a professor at the University of Bonn.[1]

Life

Peter Scholze was born in Dresden. He attended Heinrich-Hertz-Gymnasium in Berlin-Friedrichshain, a grammar school with a Mathematical-Natural Scientific profile.[2] As a student he participated in the International Mathematics Olympiad, winning three gold medals and one silver medal. He became known as a mathematician after finishing his Bachelor's degree in three semesters and his Master's degree in two further semesters. Scholze's subsequent PhD-thesis on Perfectoid spaces[3] yields the solution to a special case of the weight-monodromy conjecture.[4] He was made full professor shortly after completing his PhD, the youngest full professor in Germany.[5][6][7][8] Since July 2011 Scholze is a Fellow of the Clay Mathematics Institute.[9] He was awarded the 2013 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize. In 2014 he received the Clay Research Award. In 2015 he will be awarded the Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Algebra.[10]
