Enrico Bombieri

Enrico Bombieri (born 26 November 1940) is an Italian mathematician, known for his work in analytic number theory, Diophantine geometry, complex analysis, and group theory. Bombieri is currently Professor Emeritus in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Bombieri won the Fields Medal in 1974 for his contributions to large sieve mathematics, conceptualized by Linnick 1941, and its application to the distribution of prime numbers. Bombieri published his first mathematical paper in 1957 when he was 16 years old. In 1963 at age 22 he earned his first degree (Laurea) in mathematics from the Università degli Studi di Milano under the supervision of Giovanni Ricci and then studied at Trinity College, Cambridge with Harold Davenport. Bombieri was an assistant professor (1963–1965) and then a full professor (1965–1966) at the Università di Cagliari, at the Università di Pisa in 1966–1974, and then at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa in 1974–1977. From Pisa he emigrated in 1977 to the United States, where he became a professor at the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. In 2011 he became professor emeritus. Bombieri is also known for his pro bono service on behalf of the mathematics profession, e.g. for serving on external review boards and for peer-reviewing extraordinarily complicated manuscripts (like the paper of Per Enflo on the invariant subspace problem). The Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem is one of the major applications of the large sieve method. It improves Dirichlet's theorem on prime numbers in arithmetic progressions, by showing that by averaging over the modulus over a range, the mean error is much less than can be proved in a given case. This result can sometimes substitute for the still-unproved generalized Riemann hypothesis. In 1969 Bombieri, De Giorgi, and Giusti solved Bernstein's problem. In 1976, Bombieri developed the technique known as the "asymptotic sieve".

Diophantine geometry

In mathematics, Diophantine geometry is the study of Diophantine equations by means of powerful methods in algebraic geometry. By the 20th century it became clear for some mathematicians that methods of algebraic geometry are ideal tools to study these equations. Diophantine geometry is part of the broader field of arithmetic geometry. Four theorems in Diophantine geometry which are of fundamental importance include: Mordell–Weil theorem Roth's theorem Siegel's theorem Faltings's theorem Serge Lang published a book Diophantine Geometry in the area in 1962, and by this book he coined the term "Diophantine Geometry".

Théorie des nombres

Traditionnellement, la théorie des nombres est une branche des mathématiques qui s'occupe des propriétés des nombres entiers (qu'ils soient entiers naturels ou entiers relatifs). Plus généralement, le champ d'étude de cette théorie concerne une large classe de problèmes qui proviennent naturellement de l'étude des entiers. La théorie des nombres occupe une place particulière en mathématiques, à la fois par ses connexions avec de nombreux autres domaines, et par la fascination qu'exercent ses théorèmes et ses problèmes ouverts, dont les énoncés sont souvent faciles à comprendre, même pour les non-mathématiciens.
